The representative for EPY - Everyday People Yoga - called me back promptly after I left a message…read moreabout wanting to know more about their Yoga studio. I related my past and present experiences with Pilates for two and a half years. But, my dietitian has encouraged me to try Yoga for Bentley stretching and improving balance. I'm 69 - doing three to five days a week aqua-aerobics for three years, walking two x a week for six months with a friend. She suggested Gentle Flow start at noon in their studio on 12th and try for THREE WEEKS the starter package with unlimited sessions for $45. I'm going this Friday 1/2 to meet an instructor early before the noon class to tell her my exercise and medical history for areas to be careful!

Still, I always felt welcome and received as I popped in and out, especially by the teacher who completely understood my circumstance. Having our own space now allows a more robust schedule, including Thursdays and Sundays, and this means I can train weekly. When I was new, I loved the silent tea service which is offered in the evening on Tuesday. Such a simple ritual, but so full of depth! The free lunch after sitting meditation on Sundays offers a similar opportunity to practice mindfulness while eating and moving. The best part of the practice is the personal guidance that any participant can receive from the teacher. Her words and guidance have allowed me to navigate some terrible storms in my life, and they keep pushing me to open more and more.

I went to Yoga West regularly for a while, and I would have to say they had the best yoga classes…read moreI've experienced. I left there each time feeling mentally, spiritually and physically balanced and lit up! I could never quite keep up with the teachers but they never required any level of ability & I just did what I could. They have a very calming & reverent feel to the class, very much inspiring me toward self-improvement in all areas of life. The only reason I didn't give Yoga West 5 stars is that they started getting kinda pushy with me, trying to pressure me into joining their religion. It was actually really surprising to me that such inspiring people would be trying to push a religion. I respect their practice very much, but pressuring people to practice it with them seems so far from their style, I just didn't get it. Welcoming anyone who shows interest in one's religion is beautiful but a pushy and assuming attitude just doesn't seem befitting of one who carries themselves as a teacher of truly self-enriching practices. It started feeling uncomfortable & so I stopped going. Unfortunate, since as I mentioned the actual yoga classes were amazing and I would have loved to continue striving to be able to keep up with these people! But at any rate, I'll always remember these classes and teachers and carry that inspiration with me.

Andrea, owner of Sacred Tempos became my massage miracle! She was prompt in returning my call and so accommodating. I went to her location on Zeolite, which was a beautiful drive on the outskirts of Corvallis. Andrea was amazing! She took her time getting to know me and explained the types of massage and benefits of each. I decided to try a Shiatsu massage, despite my hesitation to try something different. I'm so glad I did! It by far exceeded my expectations, and honestly was the best treatment I have ever had. Andrea combines aromatherapy, acupressure, energy work and massage all into one. She is so gifted that her treatment flowed intuitively and effortlessly. I will only get the shiatsu massages from now on because I got so much more out of the combined techniques. Andrea is a gem I will treasure from now on and I feel so blessed to have found her!

I have known for years about certain issues but was never able to relate to them as he helped touch within me. Moreover, I feel so empowered now that I have the prescription he prescribed to help release the unhealthy emotions forever. I found Eric kind, compassionate, gentle, very knowledgeable and insightful. Within a short period of time I felt completely safe in discussing any personal issues and feelings. Some people go through years of therapy just to discover a key to unlock a closed door. He helped me find a significant key in one session. I am eternally grateful and feel blessed to have found him. I was a little skeptical about the effectiveness of a remote session but I quickly found out that it was very effective. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is experiencing any dis-ease in their lives - no matter where they live. One note: I chose Eric because of his expertise in treating oncology related diseases, but I can see how he can benefit everyone, no matter what their condition or ailment. Diane Estrada
