Testimonials
From students:
‘Yoga practice allows me to get to the bottom of my breath, and in the process, grounds me. That’s what yoga is all about, and that’s why it’s for everyone - even if, as in my case, you have a fused spine, above-knee amputation, and therefore can’t do the “traditional” yoga poses. And as for Chris - she is so kind, receptive to feedback, and just a fun person to be with!’ Stephanie, Rochester MN
“I have been using Chris’s yoga therapy since March 2018. The routines she prepares address my specific needs. I now sleep better, am relaxed and centered, and have more flexibility with less arthritic pain. This is just what I needed.” Kathy, Byron MN
“I have been receiving prescriptive yoga practice ‘blueprints’ from Chris for well over a year now — and as life circumstances change, I return for more! I have experienced significant health issues, and Chris’s gentle guidance has helped me heal not only physically but psychically over time. I am discovering strengths that come from within me that I can access at any time, a new acceptance of what is, and how that can serve my life and relationships — including the one with myself.” Kristy, Rochester MN
“Who knew how calming taking a deep breath would be! My morning yoga wakens my body and mind, stays with me throughout the day, centers me when I need it, and connects me with the natural and genuine. I feel waves of gratefulness.” Connie, Zumbrota MN
“Doing my 20 minutes of daily yoga has brought balance and consistency to all aspects of my life. I didn’t think the day-to- day life of a 25-year-old could be this improved just by a short yoga routine, but I am making more progress toward my goals than ever before. I thought it would be another chore to keep up with, but I find myself looking forward to the peace and mindfulness yoga brings me each morning.” Ruby, Island Lake IL
From a therapist:
“As a licensed therapist, I see many clients struggle to connect with themselves physically and emotionally — no one wants go be in pain, and sitting quietly alone can be emotional turmoil. That’s why I highly recommend yoga therapy — it meaningfully augments the healing process and gives clients an added tool for recovery. Chris is amazing to work with, both personally and professionally. She is flexible, compassionate, and truly understands how to meet people where they are at.” Rhonda Keith, MA, LPC, LADC, Owner, reVision Counseling and Wellness, and Empower CTC, Mental Health Clinical Supervisor, Relapse Prevention Case Manager, Rochester MN
