"Thank you Brian and Karen for the endless research you do and knowledge you share in teaching poses and stretching exercises that actually help me improve my strength and mobility. I also really appreciate the detailed instructions you provide on correctly getting into and staying in a pose and always being available if I have questions on a pose or breathing technique that I didn’t quite grasp. You make yoga fun, accessible and the most important, it is helping me to safely achieve results!"

"I just started back doing some classes regularly last week. I had tweaked something in my lower back (prior to starting) and tried a lot of different things to relieve the pain. I did some gentle beginner classes and a few Yin classes (focusing on the back) and now the pain is gone. I’ve committed myself to doing several classes a week now. I know I’m starting over from scratch, but I remember how strong it made me feel when I used to do your yoga classes. And the fact that your functional yoga style is something I can actually do"

"For many years I did "traditional exercise" at the Y, including yoga. I gradually developed back and neck problems that I attributed to "aging" (I was in my mid-50's). I became aware of WGY's functional yoga method and started practicing about 3 times a week. To my surprise, after about 2 or 3 months I realized my back and neck pain went away as well as my plantar fasciitis! As I look back, I realize it was improper form that created my discomfort. My body got stronger and more mobile. Thru the years, there have been a few times that I would have injured myself if I had not been practicing good technique and toning my muscles. This is what I love about WGY: they focus on body alignment and mobility."

"I am so grateful to be able to look forward to exercising with you guys because I am safely getting stronger without the fear of aggravating old injuries. In fact, old creaky places are moving more freely than they have in years. I have also lost inches as I am toning up. It is delightful to have loose fitting clothing but it is even better to be able to move pain free throughout my day. Thank you WGY."

"I was smiling whe the doctor was helping my husband with some spine movements because I have you and Brian to thank for almost non-existent back issues for years I tell people all the time your yoga was instrumental in alleviating back pain "

"I highly recommend this WGY and the 12-Week Transformation Program to anyone who wants an all-encompassing approach to health and wellness but is intimidated by all of the information (much of it conflicting!) out there. Brian and Karen are down-to-earth, knowledgeable, approachable experts that have made a huge difference in the way I now approach my own health and wellness. Thank you!"

"I will personally attest to Karen and Brian's yoga classes. After a full year of dealing with massive back issues FINALLY I have found yoga instructors that are looking after MY best interest. They are only impressed when you are doing what is best for you. I HIGHLY recommend this form of yoga."

"Before i started the program that i knew every time i rotated my head left to right i would hear a pop. that has disappeared.I have not felt the need for chiropractic services since i started the program. i usually went 6-8 time a year, to put my hips back in place. their jutting outward would set off my sciatica causing leg pain and lower back pain. thank you rearward shift! Yesterday i was sipping tea and got some down the wrong pipe which set off a major coughing episode. I cringed knowing that would set off a series of "leakage" as well. Nothing! Thank you mountain pose!"

"You all have helped with relieving me of a lifetime of migraines, numerous aches and pains, and of course most recently, sciatica. I don’t think I could imagine not having my yoga family available!"

" I am honored, blessed and humbled by your wisdom, caring and service to help me on my wellness journey try to be the best I can be."

"The functional yoga approach works so well for me. I don’t dread class, in fact I look forward to all of them - from beginners to intermediate to yin. They all offer something I need and I always feel better afterwards. My investment in WGY has been very much worth the money and I look forward to continuing with you. You’ve got a great program that works."
