TESTIMONIALS
“Send Back my wheelchair, please…”
There is no worse feeling than being confined to watch others participate in activities sitting in a wheelchair. O.K., so this is how I felt just 3 short weeks ago upon arriving to GOGI. Then along came someone called “Coach Amy”. I thought to myself –“not another yoga session sitting in the corner as a spectator. ? Boy was I in for a surprise! Coach Amy invited me to participate in her (what I call --- plus size friendly) yoga class. I felt O.K. that day, so I said to myself “what the heck, what have I got to lose, I can always quit and use my spinal disease problem s an excuse to quit early.” That day I was able to make it through almost 75% of the yoga class… modified of course.
Two more weeks have passed, and as usual I sit near the iron bars away from the class so I have something strong to hold onto to peel myself to my feet. In today’s class I was able to participate 95% of the time and I even learned how to get up from the floor on my own for the first time in over 7 years. By the way, I’m 330 pounds, 51 years old and 100% disabled.
"Forgiveness"
I really
enjoy GOGI Yoga. It inspires me to
forgive myself and truly let go of the blame.
Today I really felt your spirit giving strength
and positivity. Thank you for
being so beautiful to us.
I
love you for believing in us and taking your time to inspire us and give us
hope. You have hit my heart so
deeply.
"Yoga Goddess"
When I attended my very first Yoga class with Coach Amy, I thought, “I don’t think I can do this! I’m not into aerobics or exercise and I’m really not that flexible. Yikes!” But I gave it a try and what do you know? It wasn’t that bad. Each week, I felt a little more flexible and a little more into the mood of the Yoga. We incorporate some meditation into our Yoga classes, and I’ve begun to feel the most amazing mind-body connection. This is something I’ve never really felt before. Now, when I do Yoga, I feel so at peace with myself and empowered, like a goddess!
