Testimonials

“I am a T-12 paraplegic resulting from a motorcycle accident. I discovered yoga about seven months after my injury. In the beginning, I was very depressed about what had happened to me and I could not focus on anything. Yoga helped ease that feeling of depression and although I still get depressed, I feel I now have a ‘tool’ to help get me through. I always feel better after every class and am so glad I went. For me, yoga helps my state of mind so much that the benefits it has for my body are just a big bonus.”
- Danny Guenette, adaptive yoga student

“I have an awareness of my body that I didn’t before. If my foot falls off my petal, I can feel it. Obviously with my paralysis, I can’t actually feel it, but I can sense something is off elsewhere in my body, my hips, and I can tell someone what to do to help. I also can now project my voice more using my body. I feel more confident as a student. I feel more open to myself and I’m more open to trying new things. As I’m more in my whole body, I feel more open to myself.”
- Sammy Drost, adaptive yoga student
