“Yoga brings me a dignity of carriage as well as physical strength. I can walk into any place and feel like I belong. Or, if I’m not comfortable, I have the strength of mind to say to myself, ‘No, let’s go.’”

“My yoga practice gave me the compassion and release I needed to begin loving myself enough to take control of my life.”
- Exhale to Inhale Student
“Been a while since I've done yoga and I love your approach about doing what feels right for our bodies, rather than one ‘right’ way. Language like ‘you might’ or ‘try exploring’ was super helpful, and I'll use that language to be more mindful and kind to what my body is capable in the future! Left the session feeling more in tune with myself and aware of my surroundings.”
- Exhale to Inhale Student
