Although I have been blessed with a wonderful life, time has taken a toll on my body over the years.  Before I walked in the door of Frank’s studio, I suffered from tightness in my back that just wouldn’t go away.  I would lie in bed at night and try to find relief to no avail.  I no longer live with that pain.  My posture is better and I get stronger with every class.

When I started taking yoga classes at Greenleaf Yoga last fall, I was so excited with the experience that I immediately stated to tell all my friends about this wonderful place.  Many of them seemed to have a misconception of what yoga is actually all about.  Some thought that yoga was nothing more than sitting cross legged in a circle and meditating for an hour.  To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect when I started my practice.  Frank took the time to answer all of my questions and provide me with the encouragement to get started.  There is a peaceful nonjudgmental environment in Frank’s studio that allows the beginning and advanced students to work together.  I can’t emphasize this enough.  I’ve heard the same feeling expressed by dozens and dozens of fellow students.

The reality is that Greenleaf Yoga provides a full body workout that strengthens me both physically and mentally.  I can say without a doubt that you grow to love this gem in Whittier.  If you do decide to take the plunge and try Greenleaf Yoga, it will only be a matter of time before you experience the TOTAL relaxed body after one of their classes.  There is nothing like it
