I took Janell's 8-week MBSR course, several months ago. Not only was it a fun experience, the…read morepractice I developed has been transformative for me and my family. I had always struggled with developing a regular meditation practice. Janell guided us through gradually building the habit, and she gave us some easy tools to fall back on when we struggle or when life gets to busy. I listened to one of Janell's recordings with my 9yo daughter, last night, when her mind was keeping her awake. We both had a restful sleep afterwards. I highly recommend this course to beginners and experienced practitioners looking to solidify their meditation practice.

He taught me the basics of how to meditate in his class, and I left our classes feeling in touch with a deep, blissful peace. His style of teaching, and his friendship, are of the patient, humorous, honest and quick-witted variety.

Adam has an extensive background in meditation and a strong commitment to teaching the practice…read more Recently taking his class as a complete beginner, I definitely found it to be worthwhile. Not only did he provide a very good (and often entertaining) introduction to the topic, but he also inspired the motivation to make meditation part of my routine. My hope is that I will stick with it and gain the benefits.

She spent more than three hours with my best friend and me, thoughtfully reading both of our charts and guiding us through a beautiful sound bath experience.

5/5 stars First and…read moreforemost, Meera has completely revolutionized the way I see and practice yoga in many more ways than one! I first started working with Meera almost 2 years ago (I have been practicing for about 10 years now) when she started offering weekly virtual classes during the beginning of the pandemic. This immediately helped me with my mental health using her unique flows, sometimes it almost felt like dancing, to calm my mind as the stress of my tech job began seeping into my personal life. Fast forward 6 months and I was so happy to join her studio sessions and workshops in person at Yoga Garden where she went deeper into both the physical (offering outstanding adjustments) and mental (through breath work, meditation, and even chanting!) aspects which continued to help improve my overall wellbeing and even got me through some of the most stressful points of my career to date. Fast forward again to today and I'm so excited to have joined her new private 1-1 in-person offering. She has built numerous highly personalized routines and she not only teaches me when we are together but has helped me to build a sustainable self-practice that I use daily. The practice includes a combination of asanas (typical movement poses and flows), pranayama (breath work which has improved both my lung capacity as well as calming the constant chatter in my mind), and chanting (something I had never previously considered and which has allowed me to build more focus into my daily life). Meera offers a style of yoga that I have yet to find anywhere else where she conducts a truly holistic practice rather than the traditional, fitness-forward, style which is exactly what I have needed to enjoy a well-rounded lifestyle. I would encourage anyone looking to experience yoga that goes all the way back to its holistic roots to give Meera's sessions a try. Her sessions and style have flipped standard studio yoga on its ear to the point where it has become a major part of my life and has given me a completely new outlook on how I approach my health and wellness and is something I will absolutely carry on for the rest of my life! 10/10 I would recommend Meera to all ages, demographics, and lifestyles!
