Testimonials

  • I'm a Tita, I usually swing first, but this week I practiced meditation. When she got in my face, I meditated and then I hugged her. That wasn't about me.

  • I've never told myself anything positive before. I've never told myself 'May I be Happy.'

    (Learned Yoga is really about building pilina)

  • "Oftentimes we get wrapped up in our daily lives. We forget to give ourselves a moment. It is like treading water for an extended period of time and not getting a break. I appreciated participating in staff yoga because it was a brief moment that allowed us to hold on to the edge, catch our breath, and regain focus and motivation to continue striving."
