Yoga class is more than just exercise. It's like going to an exercise class, a therapist and church all at the same time!

My experiences with Joyful Yoga have been wonderful and joyful.

Since joining your yoga community my husband has started practicing yoga with me as well, and I have had many deeply relaxing and wonderful treatments in your spa!

Thank you for your service.... as a provider of wellness myself, I am deeply grateful for the presence of Joyful Yoga in our community and I refer people to you all the time.

With Sincere Gratitude!

To the Staff at Joyful Yoga:

I want to thank everyone at your wonderful yoga studio for all the benefits I have received the last few months. I had been dealing with some serious health challenges since being hospitalized in 2008. I had been to many doctors and not been able to get my health to improve and had run out of options until my doctor suggested that I take yoga classes.

From the first day I entered your studio, I could feel the positive energy just radiating and after a few weeks I slowly began to feel better and better. I was physically stronger, more relaxed and in less pain.

I wish people could understand that healing isnt just about blood tests, the physical, but emotional and dare I say spiritual too?

And even though I am not one hundred percent yet, I trust that I will get there.

Also that anyone, no matter their age or physical condition, can take your classes and just start from where they are.

Now I know why so many come from miles around to come to your studio, it is truly a unique place.

Thank you all again with all my heart,

After taking Yoga for a year, I can happily say on am off Blood Pressure Meds. I started last October 2010 and went home after season and found another yoga class. Although, it was similar to what I had been doing in basics, it wasn't quite the same. I missed the meditation, the talking through the poses with regard to how it aids your being. Nevertheless, I continued and gradually became accustomed to the yoga in the North. Then I came down here for a week and enjoyed Joyful Tess and yoga. Back North they had several new instructors and I found it fascination how fine tuned your instructors are. I have had three different teachers and have enjoyed them all. I must admit when I see the instructor, I remain cautious until we become immersed in the practice.

Another side effect of the Yoga is my improving golf game. It helps me stand properly and turn properly. Also, when I get out of sorts I use the "clean your glasses" breath. This helps me slow down and relax. What a wonderful thing the art of Yoga. I only wish so many other people my age ( I am over 65) would try it. My girls are responsible for getting me to join your Yoga. They loved it when they were here visiting. I use to weight train and that doesn't nearly as much for my WHOLE person as your Yoga. Thanks.

Hello Joyful Yoga Staff,

I wanted to drop a quick note to thank everyone for their kindness and for the great experience I had during my visit to Bonita Springs, and Joyful Yoga in Jan-Feb 2011. The basic, gentle, healing & restorative and yin yoga did wonders for breaking down the scarred tissue and increasing the range of motion for my post rotator cuff/surgery shoulder... the warm weather in beautiful Bonita Springs didn't hurt either. Although my time down there was much shorter than I had hoped, it made a world of difference!!

My surgeon, at my 7 month post surgery appointment last week, was extremely please with my progress, and that I used yoga at the end of my rehab to excel the healing process. But, I must say that it was the type of classes offer by Joyful Yoga that made the difference, those types of classes are not offered at the local gym where I have doing yoga for the past 8 years.

And, meeting Jackie who does an annual trek to one of our favorite places in Costa Rica, Rancho Margot which is near our CR property, and meeting Christian who has his studio, Even FLow Yoga, less than 2 miles from where I live in NJ, seems much more than a coincidence...

Thanks again to all... and especially John, a wonderful massage therapist!!!

I just want you to know that I had the BEST facial by Holly Torres. She is an asset to your studio. I also loved the Sundari products she used. My skin was soft for two days after the message!

I just wanted to thank Emily, Tess and Jackie for helping me be able to run again. Last year, I trained for my first marathon. During the training, I injured both my knees. I went to my doctor and he told me to stop running, rest, and if it did not get better, get some physical training. I asked him, "Could I do yoga in lieu of PT?" He told me it might help me. Well, 6 weeks of classes and now not only can I run again, but I am totally pain free! Every class I have taken has been excellent. I love all of the instructors. Every teacher teaches me something new. Each class is different. I wake up in the morning and have never felt so good. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
