Testimonials

After many years of mental and physical stress and the resultant emotional and physical injuries, I finally (should have listened to my mother years ago) came to yoga. I was only 50 years old, and my body was totally closing in on itself. My thought processes were cloudy, and personal relationships were progressively injurious to my emotional health. I was angry much of the time. My once strong, resilient, and aerobically fit body was a mess. I was unfortunately typical of the teeming masses, trying to get through every day so that I could do it again tomorrow. Then I found the Soma Center. It’s hard not to gush with enthusiasm over how my life is changing since I’ve started practicing yoga here.

I will gush succinctly:

Perspective – I’m learning to see every experience as a work of art.

Balance – it’s about being grounded with the ability to bend, sway, and flow – physically and every other way.

Strength and flexibility – I’m using muscles in new ways; the pain I’ve endured for so long in so many areas is dissolving.

Forgiveness –the best benefit of all: I don’t have to be perfect and am forgiving myself for being hard on me. The anger is dissipating.

No judgment – it’s about what feels good, taking my time to get to the next level, and appreciating what’s happening in the moment.

Connection – I trust the instructors, so am able to open myself gradually.

Clarity – taking time to nurture myself in a nurturing environment clears my mind: I’m becoming more confident in my relationships with others.

Briefly: I love feeling better! Thanks, Soma Center.

Soma Center is a sacred space that has offered me a sense of community and deep inner exploration through the practice of Yoga and Continuum Movement. Over the years at Soma I’ve practiced with many wonderful teachers that have guided and encouraged me through my journey as a student and to become a Soma Yoga teacher.

I first came to Soma Center to strengthen and lengthen my body and found the experience of Yoga to be profound. I began to see myself and my ability to relate to those around me with a new awareness of openness and compassion.
