“I started taking classes at Shree Yoga Studios in 2005. Initially I went to rehab a severe calf injury that needed stretching. Well, after a very short time not only was my calf better, but my entire body felt really good. And shortly after that I noticed very positive changes in my emotional/psychological well being. Some of this was due to the technically precise and beautifully heart oriented system of Anusara Yoga. The majority of it though was due to Chaya's teaching and the quality of the teacher's that she has brought to Shree. Without exception they are incredible teachers and individuals. They are knowledgeable, very well trained, great communicators, caring and compassionate. They exhibit all the qualities associated with the Sanskrit word Shree--life enhancing. Since my beginning at Shree I've taken classes in many different studios with many different instructors and I can tell you that it is remarkable to find a group of teachers like this all in one place. So if you have the slightest interest in yoga or want to continue your practice, I urge you to wade into Shree. This beautiful studio with its extraordinary teachers will lovingly help you along.”

“It is my pleasure to let you know how much I enjoy practicing Yoga at this very special, tranquil, and spiritual studio. The teachers follow through with their love for what they are doing, and, I believe, for their great respect for Chaya, the owner. I especially like the diversity each of the teachers bring with them, in addition to the consistent quality of caring for the students well-being, enjoyment, and learning.

The yoga classes at Shree Yoga studios are the highlights of my week. I look forward to the calming physical and emotional healing experience I know I will feel during and after class.

And it is because of your kind generosity in acknowledging the current economic situation that affords me the opportunity to continue to attend. Please know how very grateful I am for all that you provide.”

“Though I was initially intimidated by the thought of practicing at a "real" studio, my first beginner's class with Chaya was such a rewarding experience that I was immediately hooked. In my first week alone I went to four classes, trying a new instructor each time and marveling at how each one brought her own special touch to the practice. I wasn't used to such a passionate, supportive environment and some instructors seemed to know more about human anatomy that my chiropractor. I didn't only learn the "hows" of different poses, I learned the "whys." For me, this studio was just right.

In the many months since that first week, my body has become stronger and my mind calmer. Most importantly, I'm more patient and now know that the best rewards don't come through instant gratification (hello, Hand Stand). I believe that yoga will be a lifelong practice for me and I am so thankful that it began with Shree.”

“My yoga journey parallels my life experience....with ups and downs, joys and sorrows and bumps and bruises along the way. Today, in my rather mature years, my commitment is to restoring connections both internally and externally. Finding Shree Yoga has given me the opportunity to reconnect to my body, mind and most importantly my spirit. The gentle encouragement of all the teachers has challenged me to listen to my body, trust my spirit and stretch my mind to grow with new perspectives and insight. Thank you.”

“I started doing yoga about one year ago to help alleviate chronic back pain. I feel very fortunate to have discovered Shree Yoga. All of the instructors are quite knowledgeable, and are aware of any physical limitations that their students might have. As an added bonus, my bone density has improved without the use of any medication.“

“The setting of the studio, the invocation chanting and the caring with which the teachers of Shree Yoga conduct their classes have been perfect for my physical, mental and emotional growth. I look forward to every class and enjoy each instructor for her own style and personality. In the world we live today its a blessing to have a place where one can go and feel complete within. Thank You for touching so many of us.”

"I've practiced many different types of yoga on and off for 15 years however I credit my experience at Shree Yoga for not only turning the light back on for me, but also really enlightening me both physically and spiritually. The very learned teachers make an active effort to connect alignment and attitude in a way that least for me, is very understandable and practical. I have been able to expand my practice like never before thanks to the extraordinary instruction, warm environment and fellow students"

"Shree Yoga has done so much to improve my life - the classes are inspiring, uplifting, innovative and have helped improve my self esteem, confidence and overall well being. I look forward to every class (I try to take at least 2-3 each week) and enjoy each instructor for his/her own style, personality, knowledge, enthusiasm and special way of conveying the Anusara method of yoga. My heart has become more open in my every day life and my stress and anxiety levels have decreased dramatically!! Thanks to all at Shree Yoga!! You have become an integral part of my busy life!"

"I was recently asked what were the top five most life altering discoveries for me, and finding and practicing yoga was up towards the top of my list. When I began practicing 6 years ago at the age of 30, I could hardly touch my toes. Practicing yoga, especially with the teachers at Shree Yoga Studios, helped me to be the person I always wanted to be. It helped put life into perspective and ground me in truth, peace and well being. I feel centered and strong, and in this crazy world, I think that is an amazing thing. I just can't even imagine my life now without yoga. I know it will always be a part of my life. Plus, I really can touch my toes now and, even do handstands! Thank you."

"Chaya is an experienced, charismatic, spiritual, intuitive and spectacular teacher. I have always left her classes a better student, and with a thirst to learn more. Chaya is a rare and special gift to the yoga community. I am not a relative and have not been paid for this review, I am merely grateful"

"At my first class of yoga I thought, 'I can do this and I can't do that'. After I repeated my laundry list of physical limitations to my teacher, she kindly said, 'Listen to your body'. My body had betrayed me. In 1996 I had a mastectomy and reconstruction using tissue from my abdomen. This left me finding alternative ways to rise from a chair or bed. Radiation left me with a frozen shoulder. With physical therapy, my body responded and I improved, but yoga restored me and made me stronger.

Physically, I am healed, but more importantly, spiritually I am strengthened. I have learned 'to be in the present moment, to open to grace, to lift my heart, to create an intention and to breathe'. These are the spiritual gifts of yoga. Thank you".

"I highly recommend classes with Shree Yoga Studios teachers. They have taught me about my body's alignment, no other teacher has ever mentioned this. Since I've been practicing yoga at Shree Yoga, I have noticed a lessening of back pain and a great increase in my flexibility"
