I hope you
remember me from all the classes I took from you at Scripps Ranch. I just
wanted to tell you that I think you are one of the most conscientious yoga
teachers that I have ever met. I have not been in a steady class since I
arrived in Tucson,
having moved the last few days of August 2006. I did take one class at the
Parks and Recreation Department in November The teacher drove me nuts
during the one class I took. She had to demonstrate each and every posture
first, and she took forever, while the class stood and watched her. Then
she held everything so long I almost fell asleep.

I have just
joined the YWCA and am taking a yoga class there. I went to my first
session yesterday and it was pretty good. But I was struck by the fact that
no other yoga teacher I've had over the last 20 years has ever asked for a
health status report before starting a new student. You are obviously very
careful in your practice and you impressed me with your thoroughness…..
One thing that I
noticed about your classes that I have not seen yet with the Y class is
that you always varied your exercises. So far I have been to four of the Y
classes and there has been very little difference in the kinds of positions
and the sequence that she follows. Hopefully, she will add more variety to
the classes. You really did a masterful job, Carol.
2008
I just need to
tell you again that the quality of the yoga classes you present to students
is superior to most of the others out there. Since I have been in Tucson, I have taken classes
from four teachers and none has had the dedication, variety of poses, and
just pure general knowledge that you gave to your students while I took
classes from you at Scripps Ranch. Most of the classes here have been
one hour in length and that is just not long enough, and the teachers
haven't shown the students all that I know they could show them. A lot of
the people taking the classes are fairly new to yoga so they don't have
anything to compare the classes to, but I do.

After attending classes at YOGA Body and
Mind for over five years, I have come to the conclusion that yoga is a
necessity. I have learned enough that I can practice at home as well as
going to class.
Practicing the
postures, stretching for the low back and hip flexors and toning of the
spinal column were emphasized in every class. The practice of yoga has kept
me flexible and strong.
There are also
feelings of calmness and well-being that are always present in class.
Outside of class it seems that stressful situations are more manageable. I
find it easier to get to sleep at night.
I would recommend
YOGA Body and Mind to those who are looking for classes they will love
and will be able to do for the rest of their lives

After five breast
reconstruction surgeries post breast cancer, my left shoulder had
approximately 20 percent of normal range of motion. Several months of
medical physical therapy and the therapists said goodbye and good luck;
they could not help me any more. Then, with just a few of Carol’s yoga
classes, I was able to do something I was unable to do since all the
surgeries---zip up the back of a dress!!! This is a testimonial to the
healing power of yoga and how truly good it can make you feel.
