Here’s the buzz about Yvonne’s yoga classes

“In seven years of yoga practice with Yvonne Herbst, I have learned that if I miss even one of the twice weekly classes I attend, my body, mind and spirit complain.  Poses that at first seemed unattainable have, over time, become a part of my normal practice.  Over the last ten years of trying different types of exercise, yoga has become the one constant in my life.  I drag myself to gym; I look forward to yoga class.  My flexibility, strength, balance and stamina are present and accounted for because of yoga.  Yvonne’s approach of learning to respect, accept and listen to my body is the foundation of my practice.  That foundation makes it possible for me to approach other exercise options with confidence and that is key to me.  Bottom line:  yoga is key to my health.”   Susan Lander, Warrenton, Virginia

“I have been taking weekly classes with Yvonne  for five years. I look forward to class every week ,and am disappointed if I have to miss one.  Yoga with Yvonne has improved my posture, my balance  and my flexibility.  Plus, I know that the classes have helped with my emotional well being.  I always feel better physically and mentally when I leave class, generally more relaxed and well grounded.  I have encouraged many people to try yoga with Yvonne, knowing that she is a kind, careful and  well-versed teacher.  Everyone that I have brought to one of Yvonne’s classes has thoroughly enjoyed the experience and many have signed up for yoga classes.   So a heartfelt thank you to Yvonne for being the wonderful teacher that she is!!!”  Mary Keith Ruffner, Delaplane, Virginia

“Before beginning yoga, I used to suffer from sciatica daily and had lower back pain for 16 years. I couldn’t even touch my toes, and in general, I was just weak.  I am now able to touch my toes, I have improved posture, and the sciatica and back pain are completely gone too.  Yvonne knows her students well and knows what to do to help each student improve in the areas that need improvement. I wish I had discovered her sooner!”  Rana Buck, Bealeton, Virginia

“I crave Yvonne’s yoga classes! I get to compare yoga classes when I travel.   Yvonne’s teaching style is unique in that she is totally centered on the individual’s needs and differing skill levels. Not one size fits all for this instructor.  Yvonne is excellent at differentiating instruction within the class setting.  She teaches the unique balance of challenging you just enough for you to grow as a student with no chance of injury.”  Mary Lippincott, Warrenton, Virginia.

“I began taking yoga at the recommendation of my doctor (an osteopath) and my physical therapist. I had been in therapy for over a year because of a stiff, sometimes painful, hip and a resultant limp, which had been diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon as “muscular.”   Since beginning yoga, my hip articulation has improved greatly and the limp is gone. Furthermore, postures that were impossible for me at the beginning are now achievable. And because the classes are geared to work at my own pace and ability,  I have never experienced any day-after-class aches or pains.”  Lennie Lauh, Marshall, Virginia

“Yvonne is a really good teacher. She tailors classes to the needs of the students,  and she also makes yoga fun!  Whenever I make it to her class on Saturday mornings, my weekend always seems longer and smoother.  I enjoy my family and even my housework more!”   Shannon Scott,  Warrenton, Virginia
