Gentle Yoga Testimonials

What They're Saying About Helene Silver

 
 
"When I started Gentle Yoga, I thought it was too gentle. Helene has proved me wrong. It is slow, and we're encouraged to go at our own pace. But the stretching and holding of poses, the rigorous attention to breathing, and the practice of isolating isometric tension, has provided me with challenges I never before experienced in yoga classes." - Patricia E. Raley


"Throughout the winter your class helped me stay sane during a stress-filled time. Thank you for the encouragement to practice each week." - Mary Catherine Cutliffe


"I have never been able to take a yoga class without injuring myself. In Helenešs Gentle Yoga, I have learned not to push myself or to compete yet to benefit greatly from the practice." - Rachael Bishop


"I started this class on the advice of my doctor, as I needed to reduce my blood pressure and wanted to do it naturally. It has worked as we had hoped. I feel great and use the breathing principles regularly. I have even used the breath relaxation principles Helene teaches when stuck in traffic and during an MRI. These have both been very stressful situations for me in the past. Now, I know I have a choice to be stressed out or to use the tools I have been learning in class." - Nancy Wilson

"I always thought that yoga was for the young and the flexible, which I am not! Išve tried other classes but have been intimidated by the perfect bodies and perfect poses, even in the beginning classes. But, through the urging of my friend, I tried one class and loved it! I signed up for the series and have been hooked. Helene makes it safe to do the best I can with zero intimidation. I am feeling more alive than I have felt in years!" - Taura Brown

"In her clear, soothing voice, Helene tells you just what you need and want to hear every step of the way.  The postures are so basic, simple and non-threatening. Yet I can feel that every part of my body including my organs have been opened and stretched. I always leave feeling so relaxed!" - Dr. Connie Kennedy
