• David G

  Each class is, for me, a beautiful, liberating, even mysterious journey into my body and into stillness, places that I have not been encouraged to explore much in my life. I always leave feeling strong, calm, and empowered. You are doing important healing work for me, and I’m sure many others. I’m very grateful to have discovered yoga, and your particular take on it.

• Sandra Campbell

  I've been going to Esther Myers Yoga Studio for over 10 years. I am always impressed by the uniformly high quality of the teaching and the profound respect for the uniqueness of each individual learner that all the teachers demonstrate in their classes.

  As I engage in Yoga practice I am lead into a deeper knowledge of how to breathe, how to enter into and be still in the moment. I 've also developed a deep sense of wonder about the gift of the human body. As a breast cancer survivor of 22 years, Yoga has helped me discover and develop the innate potential of my body for health and healing.

• Linda

  I came because it seemed a good way to expand my physical universe...unwind, stretch my body, and feel better about myself. It makes me feel relaxed and energized at the same time! A combination of moods I previously would not have put together.
  Slowly over the last few years my body has seemingly become stronger. The Studio encourages you to trust your body and your senses...and to listen to that small voice inside your head....something I hugely appreciate.
  I love the accepting philosophy…the idea that there is no rigid right or wrong...
  just something that may be right or wrong for your body at a specific period in time.

  I also really appreciate that the focus is on movement....and keeping the body/spine fluid. I like the idea that we can unblock tension and become more at ease. It allows for the possibility of growth and development....physically and mentally.

  That's a wonderful feeling for someone getting older...instead of feeling less capable, or less limber,
  I feel more able...and more willing to try new things!!

  As my body is aging and I feel the changes in flexibility and endurance I want to keep stretching and embracing the changes rather than resisting them. Yoga helps me do that! I always feel encouraged and respected by all your teachers and never judged and I really enjoy the community of “sister” travellers.

  A few years ago at my annual check-up with my physician I discovered that I had grown a half inch!! She did not seem very curious so I decided to share with her the benefits of yoga as I believe that my “growth” was the result of a regular practice.

• Gail Funston

  I came to Esther Myers Yoga Studio eight or so years ago when I retired because I loved your style of teaching.  I appreciated the opportunity to continue to grow in my yoga but in a safe and accepting atmosphere.  I love yoga and I love the classes at EMYS. I believe yoga has kept me healthy and peaceful.

• Dr. Natalia M Schotte, Ph.D.

  In all my years of yoga study, never have I met teachers so competent and supportive as the ones I experienced at your Studio. To this day, in my yoga practice, I use what I learned from Monica and Esther.

• Gwen Ison

  In an atmosphere of genuine care, the practice of safe yoga is shared. A true privilege to attend. Definitely a 5 "namaste" (5 star) Studio. With an attitude of gratitude.
