Student Testimonial (guest blogger!)

ByAaron Fleming

In the winter I started Iyengar Yoga with Aaron Fleming at College Hill Yoga. Much to my surprise months later I am still attending 2x a week. The group classes are easy, informative and encouraging. Class participants cross all ages and have been great to meet. I have been given a lot of information, direction and support.

Aaron is very personable and manages to give each one of us individual attention in the group.

Now it is Spring! I can garden, rake leaves, take long walks, hike, ride bikes…I feel my muscles and body differently, nothing hurts.

I have begun a small daily practice in home.

This was unexpected.

  • The yoga student journey

    ByAaron Fleming

    The yoga student journey from potential new student to practitioner is not a straight line. When students come to class for the first time I definitely don’t assume they will want to dedicate their life to a yoga practice. I assume new students are trying it out casually and I don’t put pressure on them….
