Coming to yoga has given me such a new confidence and assurance about who I am. I believe that it has strengthened me inside and out, and has definitely become a necessary part of my life. The Balance Wellness Center provides such a warm, nurturing environment, and each week I always leave feeling less stressed and more positive about my life.

If you have ever watched the movie, “You’ve Got Mail,” I realized that during my everyday life I AM “Patricia.” However, the first time I walked into Jessica’s studio, I began to feel more like “Kathleen.” Now, I am trying to bring the personality of “Kathleen” not only into my yoga practice when I enter into Jessica’s studio, but also into my personal life.
Jessica’s yoga practice relaxes my mind and challenges my body. She has a very soothing voice that makes it easy for me to listen and follow her guidance. Jessica is always watching to ensure that I am doing the correct yoga pose, and sometimes if I am in a pose that is stretching my body to its limit, she will come around, and with her angel hands, find that one point on my body that feels like it is going to “pop” and rub it so that my muscles relax into the pose.
When I participate in Jessica’s yoga practice at her studio, I walk out feeling very calm and wonderful with no worries. Even though I have school-age children that attend various activities outside of school, and I work a full-time job, my family is grateful that I have started practicing yoga. They understand the importance of my attending Jessica’s yoga sessions; they make it possible for me and encourage me to attend Jessica’s yoga sessions. Thanks, Jessica for the improvements
you have helped bring into my life! -G.K., wife, mom, and project manager
I have really felt good this week. The challenge has just made all the difference. I have "shaved" time off my jogging/running and feel so much better while doing it. While I was running this morning I actually think I experienced the "runner's high" that has always been so elusive to me. I also have come to relish my mat time. I look forward to my studio time as my own "get-a-way" twice a week. Thank you, thank you is all I can say!
