"To me yoga means physically feeling better, connecting and creating new friendships.  I was initially inspired to try yoga out of concern about loss of physical balance.  I researched briefly and though yoga could help me restore my balance.  Practicing yoga at GET'N FIT has affected my life because I have discovered weak areas that need improvement and have started working on them.  I have a very high respect for Richelle, she studies, is very knowledgeable and talented and she addresses each person's individual needs. 

​

During my first yoga class the movements and poses made me feel like I had a full body massage.  It felt good. Before starting yoga I had muscles tension, and difficulty maintaining good posture.  Each yoga class I participate in results in appropriate muscle tension to maintain good posture, appropriate balance of muscle tension and relaxation and I have more energy.  After yoga I feel like I have better core strength, flexibility, muscle tone and balance. 

​

I keep coming back to the yoga classes at GET'N FIT because I can see improvements I needed to make.  Yoga has helped change my life because I have become aware of my breathing, have less pain in my shoulders, neck and low back and have had a decrease in discomfort associated with bunions on my feet and feel like my physical balance is better. 

​

Yoga has helped me and I encourage others to try it.
