"I just want to thank you for guiding me towards your Hatha yoga 1 class. It has been wonderful and I love the class. My body is responding well too. Last Thursday afternoon I was able to walk up stairs using alternating legs – something I haven’t been able to do for a few weeks, since my hip started acting up again. Wow!!!"
"What a wonderful class we had yesterday for seniors. Those restorative poses worked wonders on my body. I don't have an ache or pain in my body and feel like I could float (I swear no drugs involved!!). Thanks for being such a great instructor."
"I was so looking forward to today's yoga session. It was way beyond my expectations, as usual. I feel so lucky to have met you and be in this group. I am truly amazed at how you always know what movements I need. When I finish the class, I am truly transcended into peace and harmony and all is well with the universe. It makes me humble to feel and know that it is not only me, everyone else in the class feels the same way. Everyone is rejuvenated and happy and ready to face the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"The asanas as usual were nothing short of amazing, I would perhaps have added the set of asanas which really, really focused on the abs. We did a set week or two ago in which we grounded ourselves on our sacrum and alternated knee bends, Boy did I feel that in my abs the next day!
Your teaching of yoga is inspiritational for me, I feel more empowered towards truth, clarity, kindness and love every day. I have studied the martial arts and I feel as though the martial arts have prepared me for challenges from the outside, whereas the yoga focuses on preparing for battles within. Perhaps all battles are fought within.
As part of my spirit journey I am working on my masters in Education. In my studies, I have come across a passage by Kahlil Gilbran which reminds me of your teaching style, the style I aspire to and of Yoga."
"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind." – Kahlil Gibran
"Thanks for all you do to make each class all it can be for each of us. Class today was amazing, the blocks really helped as my hands get really stressed out easily. I enjoyed a feeling of intense calm all day today after class."
"Thanks for a great class yesterday! I so look forward to your class each week."
"I want to thank you for the Kundalini class last night. I was a bit sore last night and a bit sore this morning, but I feel so energized from that set. Very amazing results. I appreciate your teaching style and I felt very comfortable, even though I am just a beginner."
"Thank you for all you have done for us. Your class has made my pregnancy much more comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing. THANK YOU!"
"Thank you for the wonderful session Tuesday night; I really felt uplifted after the session. And what I enjoyed most was the heart meditation we did at the end. I want to practice that some more. There seems to be a "heart theme" running through my life, which includes some other meditations that I have been taught recently, and I am getting the point. It's time for me to work on opening my heart. I think it is no coincidence that you taught us that meditation; and I want to continue practicing it, as soon as I get the mantra! hank you so much. Your teaching style has really helped me enjoy doing the practice and I feel that I am already reaping the benefits."
"Wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the kundalini classes on Friday and Sunday. I am always amazed at how much more clear my mind is after taking a kundalini class."
"It is such a joy to see little kids having fun like that in yoga class. I really believe that you are an awesome inspiration and you should keep up with all your hard work. Both children and adults respond to you, I don't know if you realize it, but your positive energy is contagious. You automatically put people at ease. So thank you for letting me share your experience, it was great."
"I just want to say thank you for teaching the Yoga classes to our Reston Interfaith staff. We had some very positive feedback from everyone. They really enjoyed it. So thank you so much!!!"
"Thank you for always making me feel better after doing a yoga session with you! You bring such great light to me and so many others."
"You're an angel - light and graceful, yet powerful and strong. I love your classes. Kundalini yoga has changed my life."
"Dawn is a wonderful Yoga instructor who is teaching at a studio in Vienna (East Meets West on Church Street). She also does private sessions, and teaches classes at Fitness First in Reston and Tysons. I wasn't a big fan of Yoga until I started classes with Dawn. You can get cardio, toning and stretching in one session with Kundalini Yoga. She also teaches techniques that can really help with back pain."
"I ADORE LifeForce yoga. I used a little of it the other day... on Tuesday, when the snow began turning into sleet and freezing rain, I decided it was time to head home from my office. I HATE driving in snow or ice, and because four different people had called me to tell me it was slippery out and I should go home, I was a nervous wreck by the time I got in my car.
I knew I had to calm myself down, and suddenly recalled your breathing-through-the-left-nostril instruction, and how we could use that technique if we ever wanted to calm ourselves down. So while my car warmed up, I did a few minutes of deep, relaxing yoga breathing, and then focused on breathing through my left nostril. Well, guess what... it worked!
THANK YOU Dawn, for helping me get home safely! I was singing your praises to myself all the way home.
