read one student's story:
"When my sister died of cancer last summer at the age of 37, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to be healthy. As a mom of 3 kids whose ages ranged from 2 to 13, as well as a nurse and college student, taking time for myself seemded selfish. I had also never actually taken any kind of fitness class, usually exercising at home or with my family.
Although I ate a healthy diet I still had weight to lose. I also had a back injury that occasionally bothered me still and sore knees once in a while. All of this I considered par for the course of getting older.
I asked my sister to come with me for a free class at LV Yoga in January because I was nervous, having heard that sometimes yoga studios could be less than friendly. Immediately I felt the warmth and compassion from the teachers I met that day and never once have I felt less than that from anyone at LV Yoga. Jacque, Randi and Sybel as well as the other teachers are friendly and passionate about yoga and helping eveyone obtain a meaningful practice.
I started in the Yoga for weightloss classes and the positive effects were almost immediate. Jacque is a kind, warm and compassionate teacher, always encouraging and open to questions. She's also down to earth and inspiring in her own practice. The classes are fun and you practice with other people who have the same goals of moving towards health. There is no competition. Everyone is there with the same mindset as you. Within the first month my knee pain was gone, my back was stronger and my mind more at peace. Yoga taught me a powerful lesson in body awareness which is key to becoming fit and healthy.
It is six month since I took that first class and I have lost 18 pounds, 3 inches off my waist and am stronger in both body and mind. I credit this all to my yoga practice and cannot imagine living life without yoga and the wonderful teachers at LV Yoga."
