“I feel like a completely different person after the approximately 18 months I’ve been practicing at Elevate. My approach to life and myself is much more of acceptance of others and really, most importantly of myself and my quite human foibles. My intention at every class has been ‘ less stress and less weight, ‘ well, I’ve achieved both. The physical conditioning that began at Elevate has carried into other parts of my life, I run again and ride my exercise bike farther than I ever have done. My stress level is back to a normal level, and I’d say even less than normal. My life is enriched because of Elevate Yoga. It’s opened my life, mind and heart to other philosophies and has returned a level of spirtuality to me that I’m continuing to explore; one that makes more sense to me. That philosophy starts with Om Namah Shivaya Gurave…. ‘I bow to the goodness within myself, known as Lord Shiva, who is the true teacher.”
