SUPATHA®
I am a Hunterdon county teacher and since I have started yoga classes with Lakshmi I have been able to relax so much more than ever before. She has helped me to learn how to reduce the stress in my life and be a better teacher because of it. There are many children who could benefit from this type of activity to help them relieve some of the stress in their lives as well as become more focused and learn to interact better with other students. She is a wonderful teacher who cares about her students and the community. Well educated in the techniques and philosophy of this ancient tradition, Lakshmi creates a fun atmosphere for learning... - Jennifer Griffith - Kingwood twp, School I have a severe spine injury and I had almost given up hope for some respite from pain and limited mobility. Since attending Supatha Yoga classes I have experienced and increase in range of motion and limberness. This is so very important to me because this enhances my sense of well being which has been greatly subdued since my injury in 2004. Lakshmi's explanation of technique and concern for our pain/injury levels are very much appreciated. - Tom O'Brien - Flemington, NJ I am a practicing Physical Therapist who was in search of a qualified Yoga Instructor with a good working knowledge of Anatomy. I found more than that in Lakshmi. Lakshmi opened my eyes to the practice and teachings of Yoga after a personal tragedy had me on a quest to find a release from my grieving. What I found in Lakshmi was a young woman of compassion, elegance and superb ability to instruct and guide her Yoga students, regardless of their personal experiences. - Sandra Flickstein, PT /OT - Brooklyn, NY I am a resident of Kingwood township and was pleased to learn of Supatha Yoga giving classes at the Old Municipal Building right down the road. The venue feels wonderful, in that the yoga class has allowed me to relax in a country setting, with the absence of a lot of traffic going back and forth. It is a peaceful little "retreat" for an hour or so. Lakshmi Devi has a warm and enthusiastic personality, seems to be sensitive to our individual concerns, and works with each person throughout the course of the class. She explains what is going on in each pose with clear instruction. I also have benefited from her inspirational words at the close of each class. - N S - Kingwood twp, NJ My wife Shirley and I have been Kingwood township residents for almost 15 years, and having available nearby a program which offers fitness & health classes for the community makes it even more attractive. We attend Lakshmi's Back Care yoga classes each week. Those attending the classes are an eclectic mix of men and women, young, middle aged, and more mature as are my wife and me. The program meets all of the specifications mentioned by our doctors as beneficial for back problems. Not only are the classes medically sound, proximate, and attended by compatible and sociable people but the teacher is personable, knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. Attending the classes is a high point of our week. Something we both look forward to. - Samuel D. Conti, Esq - Kingwood twp, NJ I am a 75 years young ex-marathon runner, who has had the pleasure of attending Lakshmi's Open Level Hatha yoga class; twice a week for almost two years now. Her warmth and desire to share the benefits of yoga with all her students make her classes an important part of the week's activities. Her technical perfection, kind heart and gentle touch is acknowledged by all the students in her class. Thanks to Lakshmi's patience and ability to modify postures to suit the individuals capabilities, I'm now more flexibly and mobile then I was 10 years ago. I'm also grateful the advice she gave me that enabled me to lessen the severity of my tinnitus along with her suggestions for relief of the arthritis in my knees, I hope to continue studying yoga with Lakshmi for may years to come... - Saul Rosenberg - Bronx, NY I have multiple fractures and other disabilities caused by osteoporosis. I read in a Johns Hopkins health-letter that yoga was used as a benefit for osteoporosis and back problems. Lakshmi Devi teaches a back care and Therapeutic Chair Yoga class and is an excellent instructor. I have "taken" yoga before and she is the best teacher I have ever had. She accommodates the positions to the restrictions and limitations of everyone in the class. The classes are friendly and welcoming. My balance and flexibility have improved and she has worked with me, as she does with all her students, to improve muscle strength and this gives me more confidence in movement. - Shirley Conti - Kingwood twp, NJ I have been studying yoga with Lakshmi for two and a half years now. Not only has my physical strength and flexibility improved, so have my mental abilities, dealing with a siblings long fight with cancer. Lakshmi's knowledge, enthusiasm and talent surpass any yoga training I have taken in the past. She names each position in both the native language and in English, and never fails to explain the benefits of each pose. Her postures seem to flow effortlessly into the next. No matter how many people are in her class, her attention and diligence when it comes to proper form always makes you fell like you are getting a private lesson. Her upbeat and encouraging attitude always makes her classes a pleasure to attend, and I look forward to each one. - Jennifer Colbert - Brooklyn, NY I would like to graciously comment on how much I enjoy Lakshmi Devi's classes. She is a skilled teacher with an abundance of love for what she does. She inspires me every time I take her class. Her radiance spreads throughout the room and I am floating my way out the door. Om Shanti... - Carolyn Geiger - Lebanon, NJ "I take Lakshmi's Beginner yoga class...
