Hear what others are saying about yoga at Jeweled Lotus Yoga...
"I practice yoga to help wake, challenge, and balance my body while calming and restoring my mind." - Gayle
"Having been a marathon runner, weight lifter and aerobics instructor for several years, I felt that I was in relatively good physical shape. Since I started practicing yoga one year ago, I am now in the best shape of my life! I lost thirty pounds, dropped 4 clothes sizes and feel better than ever! Yoga has increased my stamina, strength, and flexibility beyond belief and given me an acute mind / body awareness and overall sense of well being. I would recommend incorporating a yoga practice into your life regardless of age, gender, or physical ability...the results are astounding!" - Vicki
“Soon it will be 3 years since I began to practice yoga. The movements of the asana give my body range of motion. I’m stronger in my core. My muscles are longer and leaner. My posture is better. My balance is improved. Many chronic aches are gone. Yoga makes me work harder than any other physical work I’ve ever done. I love the work-out part of yoga! But the part of yoga that changed my life is not the physical, but the mental strength I’ve gained. I’ve always been active but I haven’t always been able to be still. Yoga helped me see mental stillness as a state I wanted to work toward. When life throws me curves, I’m better able to handle them because of yoga. I like being part of the yoga community through Jeweled Lotus and I can take yoga with me wherever I go.”

I began yoga last January with Kellie’s instructions. I’ve received unexpected benefits. This may be a life long practice now. For years I’ve known the need to stretch. My orthopedist told me that years ago. That was too boring. As an aerobic exerciser since 1972, biking, swimming and running was all I enjoyed. My daughter, Amy, and her young friends who were doing triathlons and marathons persuaded me to try Yoga. I’m hooked. I still bike and swim (no running on a bad knee) but yoga is the primary program now. Added benefits beyond improved flexibility are: strengthening, endurance (with less sweat) and surprise lower cholesterol just to name a few. My cholesterol has always been good but my total dropped 30 points due to yoga. Thanks Kellie!
