Below are a number of client testimonials from my Yoga Students.

Dear Gia,

 Your class is different each time. Yes, you surprised us again.

At the end of today's class, there was applause,  This is why; At the beginning of any class, we present ourselves,  a spectrum of many ages, different conditioning, health, flexibility, strength and levels of experience, like blocks of clay to an artist,  and you begin shaping them, somehow, at once. It seems that you enjoy the endless exploration of the mystery of physical embodiment.  You are undaunted by any perception of limitation,  and embrace only the possibility of self-renewal. You keep renewing the approach, doing a different dance. I've seen you partner with the breath, the tapestry of muscle, tendon and bone, knowing just how to weave the energy and liberate the spirit, making the subconscious, conscious, and the unconscious breathless and alive. When we come to our final pose, we sit before a master, able recognize the symphony in ourselves. Thank you for helping us emerge out of stiff clay into fluidly beautiful movement, from straggly to sacred. And all this you accomplish with both grace and humility. In the temple of the body, your class is a call to worship. 

Thank you so much, Gia.

Dear Gia,  

I want to share with you that I have never had a yoga experience anything close to what you offer. I am beginning to understand how the poses and exercises have a very important spiritual dimension. I feel how the poses are designed to allow energy to flow in a healthy way through the chakras I feel an opening and even surrendering to what is so vastly greater than myself.   You have the exceptional quality of creating a very safe environment for us to have such special, even sacred experiences. You are an amazing teacher. I have felt, and others shared this with me, that when you touch us to help with correcting the poses, this has a remarkable effect - I would call it even healing - gentle and firm, reassuring, attending to comfort, and promoting the whole process.  I feel lucky to have your class to help me in this personal way.   Thank you for being who you are. You provide the class with valuable gifts.
