Here are some testimonials from some of our regular students. I am so grateful for them sharing their time and practice with me.
I have been going to yoga classes at Peace and Joy a few years now. I have nothing but positive things to say about our guru Pon and her classes. I started yoga focusing primarily on the benefits to my body, the awesome stretches, and the calorie burn. Over time, Pon helped me see beyond just the body and focus on body, mind, soul altogether. I appreciate the nuances in me, both mind and body, much better after going to her classes. This transformation happened at my own pace which only dignifies our empathetic and compassionate teacher. She ensures we get our asanas correct but while practicing Ahimsa. She also has created a like-minded community of fellow yogis which makes every class a wholesome experience. Highly recommend!
I personally had a very good experience on this with Pon and I am very grateful for that. I have been under lot of emotional and physical stress due to some health issues with my family friends and that’s the reason I was out for a while trying to juggle things. But after speaking to Pon and trying Reiki it DID change my perspective. I am not trying to flatter her but her positive energy is contagious and it really helped!
Pon’s yoga classes have truly been a transformative experience for me. I have had the privilege of attending her classes for the past three years, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional yoga instructor.
What sets Pon apart is not only her expertise in yoga but also her genuine passion for what she does. She started offering these classes as a service to the community during the challenging times of COVID, and her dedication shines through in every session. Pon's goal extends beyond simply teaching yoga poses; she aims to develop the whole person, nurturing both the body and the mind.
One of the aspects I admire most about Pon is her commitment to teaching not just the physical aspects of yoga but also the philosophy behind it. In each class, she effortlessly incorporates yoga theory, breathing techniques, and even self-reflection questions. This holistic approach not only enhances our practice on the mat but also enriches our daily lives off the mat.
Pon's passion for building a community of like-minded individuals is evident in her classes. She fosters an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone feels supported and valued. Regardless of your skill level, Pon's classes are tailored to suit both beginners and experts. Her ability to connect with each individual and customize poses based on our unique skill levels is remarkable. I have personally experienced significant growth in my yoga practice under her guidance, and I am constantly challenged to reach new heights.
More than just learning yoga, Pon's classes have been a profound journey of self-discovery for me. Through her teachings, I have gained valuable insights not only about yoga but also about life itself. Pon has a remarkable gift for imparting wisdom and inspiring her students to become the best versions of themselves.
