Testimonials

Briefly... I felt like a new person yesterday when I emerged from your studio. I am amazed at how I had been transformed into a whole person: open, light, energized, and able to breathe. I didn't feel "sick" for the first time in weeks. Your varied stations, meditations, visualizations, warm guiding touch, and aromas all took me to a new healing place...I can't say enough. You are a healer.... you focus and "give" with all your power." - Louise Read 🙏

"This is Jerry from the Club Getaway... I just wanted to say that you were wonderful and even though I have not regularly practiced yoga at this current time, I am more self-aware of what my body is doing and making adjustments as I notice them. You have been very helpful and for folks going to Club Getaway in the future, I will definitely recommend taking your class at least once." - Jerry Rothschild 🙏

Alina,
just wanted to tell you that I went for my bone density test today and I have improved and gone up in density since my baseline in 2004.  I am actually above average in the bone density department for women of my age group.  No osteoporosis!  I think I am proof positive of how yoga strengthens the bones, that and my running, what else could it be? Thank you thank you.  I owe it all to your wonderful classes which keep getting better and better.  I feel like I am a foot taller and lighter when I leave your class!
Love,
Lisa 🙏

Hi Alina,

Alina,  Just want to thank you for a great class on Sat.  You are an amazing teacher.  I thought that after taking yoga classes for so many years I knew a lot.  You have taught me so much, and I feel so much stronger all the time.  I try to do some yoga every day at home, and I always hear your voice directing me.  So, again, thank you so much! Namaste,
Pam 🙏

Hi, I am totally amazed at how my body has felt this entire day. I feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off of me. Thank you so much for this morning's class.

Dear Alina-
Briefly... I felt like a new person yesterday when I emerged from your studio. I am amazed at how I had been transformed into a whole person: open, light, energized, and able to breathe. I didn't feel "sick" for the first time in weeks. Both nausea and breath were so much better. Your varied stations, meditations, visualizations, warm guiding touch, and aromas all took me to a new healing place. I felt positive like I was doing something GOOD for myself, and able to commit to your work and thoughtful knowledge. I can't say enough. You are a healer... you focus and "give" with all your power.
I am so grateful to my generous friends for thinking of giving such a gift, and I am so grateful to have you in my life, who have these gifts to give.
Thank you. Thank you. I am planning to come Saturday unless something goes kablooey.
xoxo

From my point of view, and others tell me pretty much the same thing when I talk about your classes......Your methodology and teaching approach combined with your knowledge base about what the body should look like in various poses AND taking into consideration our individual strengths and weaknesses....and willingness to constantly coach and encourage us puts you in an extremely small world of yoga instructors.....From the 3 other teachers that I have tried, I was given absolutely ZERO feedback and, nobody else was in any of the classes as well....Everybody was simply in their own world doing their best at whatever they thought the pose should look like and staring into mirrors.....I HATED it...

Combine all of that with what you can only call "chemistry" with the people in your classes and you have something pretty special.  Keep up the good work and you will find that people will continue to seek you out.
Best,
S.A.M. 🙏

I just read this email...days late...sorry for the delay and again
thanks for the attention the other night.  When I got home, I told
Bruce that for the first time in a long time, I felt remarkably free
from physical "discomfort"...I felt great.  The next morning Thurs felt good
again.

You are a miracle worker!  The pain dissipated that night and none last night but I feel that it will take some time to heal completely.  Will continue with my exercises and have become a yoga fan forever.
Peter Kukresh 🙏

I have been gone all day and just returned, but I wanted to tell you that last night's class was the perfect tonic for all of us who were confused and totally stressed out. The power of Yoga to cleanse and renew was never more evident. I felt like a completely different person when I left.

Dear Alina,
I hope you know how special you are as a teacher and also how important your class is. I can walk in there with five tons of bricks trying to push me into the ground with my mouth open, and you help me focus and float and happily stand (literally) on my own two feet. Every class is a revelation- sometimes I'm missing the full concept,(not your fault) but never ever have I left without feeling balanced. My knees are more flexible, my feet are now my roots and not a problem, and my whole posture helps me greet the world with ease and hopefully some grace.
Thank you, truly.
Patricia 🙏

Thank you for such great yoga this week - has been a highlight of my vacation and end of pregnancy for sure.
Elizabeth 🙏

I'm glad I started your Melt Class. I think it took a little of the edge off my chest pain.  Also, after the class, I got a little bout of the weepies. I am not sure if it was the reduced pain or your supportive guidance; actually, I think it was a bit of both. Warm regards,
Daryl 🙏

Thanks, Alina.  I did the exercises you showed me Monday night.  Woke up Tuesday all popped back in and no pain!! You are also a voodoo guru!
Jody 🙏
