Student Testimonial (guest blogger!)

ByAaron Fleming April 7, 2015April 7, 2015

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.

You Change Your Schedule

ByAaron Fleming May 18, 2015

Over the past month or so I have noticed a trend in potential students asking me to teach classes at a different time of day, on a different day or even in a different neighborhood. They are siting these three variables as a reason why they can’t come to one of the classes being currently…

Who cares about interruptions. Practice anyway!

ByAaron Fleming June 25, 2019June 25, 2019

Last week I was practicing at home and settling in for Savasana (usually the last pose where you lay down and just try to be still and quiet). My two year old, who had been mostly playing quietly in the room with me, comes over and begins stroking my eye lids and lips with her…

Expect some obstacles

ByAaron Fleming March 21, 2015

When an aspirant enters upon the spiritual life, he naturally does so with great enthusiasm. The first steps he takes are almost always accompanied by feelings of peach and delight. Everything seems so easy, so inspiring. It is therefore very important that he should realize, right form the start, that this mood will not continue,…

The yoga student journey

ByAaron Fleming September 24, 2019September 24, 2019

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….
