TESTIMONIALS: YOGA, RELAXATION, MEDITATION “Stress Management has been a wonderful class that focuses on relaxing tension and stress not only physically but mentally also. In the short timeframe we learned about attitude choices, what to do when you feel stressed as well as a workout chart covering mind and body.” “In stress reduction class you gave me a critical tool in battling stress – the confidence that I have a major tool in my arsenal. A most powerful benefit of this is the positive belief that I am in charge of stress and stress doesn’t control me. I am also particularly strengthened by the toolkit of techniques that can be called upon at a moments notice. Thank you for your lifelong gift.” - Claudia “I feel that I am able to deal with daily stress more calmly.” - Michell “Meditation has helped me to relax when I am very tense. After I meditate, I feel more calm, aware, focused, and sometimes more energy. I meditate when I find myself getting frustrated and it calms me down. I meditate before bedtime to help me relax before I sleep and to wind down. Before this class I felt my stress level was 8-9. After this class, my stress level seems 4-5. I will definitely use the techniques I learned after this class. I am so glad I took the class and it will definitely benefit me in the future.” - Lora “The class has been very helpful to me.
