Testimonials from Shelli's aCHIvers
"Yoga has transformed me from an accident
prone weakling into a person with balance and strength . . . Yoga
is definitely making the transitions of pregnancy much easier for
my body to handle. I don't feel nearly as uncomfortable with my
physical appearance or the aches and pains of pregnancy."
- Heather, 30-something
"Last year I turned 50. My body has always
been stiff and not at all flexible. I have low back pain and often
have back and leg spasms and foot cramps. Yoga has helped me ease
all of these aches and pains. My balance and core strength have
improved. My knees and hips are stronger and my shoulders are more
open, which has dramatically improved my posture. With the discovery
of yoga I now have new tools to help me enjoy my life and live it
to the fullest. Turning 50 has been great!!"
- Marianne, 50-something
"I have been practicing yoga for 2 years.
I always wondered if it would help, and the answer is yes.....yes........yes.
My body has opened up. My joints feel lubricated and I have become
more flexible. I have not had a cold in two years. My circulation
has improved particularly in my hands and feet. I would rather be
doing yoga then sitting around watching TV!"
- Karen, 40-something
"This class opens your mind to what good
benefits learning a running technique can provide. I was already
a runner and thought I knew how to run. This class teaches you how
to be AWARE of how you run and how to pay attention to what you
are doing while you run. Many of my annoying pains have disappeared.
. . As a runner who lacks of patience and just wants to run, this
class was a real challenge for me. However, those small and gradual
progresses kept me going. Being persistent with the Chi technique
pays back. Now, I'm proud to say that I am an ultra-marathoner without
soreness, except the arms!"
- Lisa, 40-something
"Tried lifting weights, running, biking...all
great forms of exercise, but weights gets boring, running is tough
on the joints and biking is difficult in the cold and rain. I've
never felt a better all over workout than with yoga. There are so
many styles and forms to try, you never get bored. What I like about
yoga is that you work the core muscles and all the little internal
muscles that you can't always see. My flexibility has increased
immensely from just a few months of classes. It's done wonders for
my badminton and tennis game and especially my recovery time. If
your goal is increasing your metabolism, flexibility, breathing
and muscle tone, then yoga will help you facilitate this. I find
a 50 minute yoga session the perfect warm-up to an intense game
of badminton. Yoga just energizes the body. I went to Shelli's class
after a long day of work, on days I felt exhausted and completely
tapped out. By the end of class, I am sweaty and feeling a good
burn, but 10 minutes later, my second wind comes in and I play two
hours of badminton."
