... on the studio and staff
MARLENE WEBBER
From the first beginners' class I took the teachers' clued in to my persistent lower back problems. The culture at this Studio notices individuals, their aches and pains as well as their abilities and potential. Teachers always offer tips for adjusting poses. You don't need to worry - as I certainly do in aerobic classes - about straining areas: back in my case, shoulders, knees, wrists, whatever. Of the many things I love about yoga classes here, top of the list is the effort teachers invest in each student to reduce her/his body damage and stress.

In an atmosphere of genuine care, the practice of safe yoga is shared. A true privilege to attend. Definite a 5 "namaste" (5 star) Studio. With an attitude of gratitude.
SANDRA CAMPBELL, Adult Educator, Writer
I've been going to Esther Myers Yoga Studio for four 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.

... on teacher training
JUDITH HARRIS (Teacher Training)
Jungian analyst and author of Jung and Yoga: The Psyche-Body Connection, forthcoming from Inner City Books, Toronto, November 2000.
The training that I have received from Esther Myers Yoga Studio Teacher Training Programme has been invaluable, both in my practice as Jungian analyst and with my research in the body-mind connections.
MIKE DEMPSEY (Teacher Training)
What I found most impressive about the programme is the depth of care and sensitivity towards bringing this teaching into the general population. I cannot recommend this Teacher Training Programme highly enough for anyone interested in being the best yoga teacher they can be and for deepening one's own yoga practice.
Monica's ability to translate this teaching to beginner students
and teacher trainees is an extraordinary gift and one which could
benefit teachers and yogis everywhere.
MARINA QUATTROCCHI (Teacher Training)
It was wonderful for me to take part in a workshop where the teacher
draws on so many years of experience. The workshop certainly took
away all my fears and trepidations about teaching pregnant women.
