Thank you Yoga Center of Cape Cod
I started yoga because of a medical diagnosis that meant I needed help with my immune system. I was hoping yoga would help keep my numbers stable. As long as I have no symptoms there is no need for treatment.
However, after 2 months of yoga, 3 times a week, I was pleasantly surprised to find my numbers actually dropped! I never dreamed that I might be able to reverse the upward climb.
Thanks to yoga, I no longer Fear the next series of testing. I am looking forward to my personal challenge of maintaining the healthy self for as long as possible. oommmmmmm…..
I was watching the news this morning thinking about a mini ‘escape’ after the election to relax. First I thought about going to a movie. That sounded nice at first, except that I just spent 10 hours sitting on a plane, bus, car coming back from Michigan and my legs are stiff. Then, I thought for the SAME amount of money, I could get off my rear and take a yoga class at your studio and actually do something to make my body mind feel better. $17=Movie and popcorn for one – lonely, fat-accumulating, leg-stiffening vs. exercise and renewed sense of self.

REGARDING THE STUDIO IN GENERAL:
~You have a beautiful studio, I take a lot of classes all over and yours is still my favorite. I feel that your teachers are well trained. and I’m in good hands in your studio. I can’t wait for summer
~Don’t stop. Keep going. I love your classes and everything about the studio. REALLY like hearing the instructors give positive feedback about other classes and techniques in the studio.
~Lovely well run studio that is a joy to be a part of! Like the special events and workshops too.
~I appreciate the variety at the center now that Lynette has owned it. There is something for everyone. It also has the feel of being our own little community, a nice sense of belonging.
~I don’t think about going to other studios at this point because I think that the schedule, the classes and the instructors are all wonderful. Also, I love that I can pay a monthly fee for practice. I would not be able to take so many classes otherwise due to the expense. Thanks Lynnette for doing such a beautiful job with the CC Yoga Center – you have managed it wonderfully and very professionally as well.
~Praise for the decor, the cleanliness, the dark, the heat – all conducive to relaxation.
~thank you for your dedication to the studio. Your willingness to listen to your students and incorporate their feedback is impressive
~I love it!

FAVORITE CLASS:
~I’m new to yoga with an extremely limited range of experience, but I like Hot Yoga. I was unsure at first, but the class is so sensorial unique that your focus rarely leaves the room of your own body
~My favorite is the restorative yoga. I feel so healthy and relaxed after. I sleep the best after too.
~I like them all. I like power, hatha, vinyasa…I like moderate to challenging classes because I like a good “physical” workout as well as spiritual connection
~Bikram-26 postures; know what I am getting into when I come to a Bikram class; can measure my progress.
~I prefer the hot yoga classes. Detoxifying and cleansing.
~I enjoyed the Restorative Yoga class best so far.
~hot anything. Cleansing. Free. Great.
~all, esp. sacred music I like the quiet, the soothing music after a busy day to be able to focus inward and shake off the day.
~gentle, I am not very flexible so I like a slower pace
~I enjoy the Jivamukti (Bristol) class, the moderate flow (Carrie), the level 2 class, the silent and the new Yin Yoga classes (Ann)
~I LOVED all of them. The Bikram was super challenging for me, a new yoga lover. And the gentle yoga was just right for me.
~Hot Yoga – probably because I am most familiar with it. I like the heat (I can’t believe I’m actually saying that, as it was once inconceivable to me that I could stay in a heated room for 90 mins much less exercise in it.)
~sacred music. I can work at whatever level feels best for me, the silence is a great end to the day full of auditory overload!
~sacred music; I like to work on my technique by myself
~I like the heat. My age prevents me from the kinds of exercises that used to encourage sweating – like running

FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR:
~All instructors have been great. It is difficult to choose one I feel very fortunate in having a group of instructors who are so dedicated and compassionate.
~Of the classes that I have taken, all the instructors that I have had are great. Lynnette, love her energy ,calmness and the flow of her class. Bristol’s class is a challenge, I’m happy when it’s over, we work hard, but I love it, gets me out of my box. The woman that had a baby and does Bikram {Megan}, gives a wonderful class, lots of great encouragement during the class to go further. I only discovered her at the end of last summer, I hope to do her class more often.
~Maureen. She is just so friendly and open and very knowledgeable
~Lynette, she is so easy to be around and her love of yoga is contagious. Carrie is also an excellent teacher, with great focus. Ann’s enthusiasm is fun. Bristol is a yogini from the inside out.
~Carrie, calm soothing voice but also simple and direct I’m able to understand even if I don’t hear the words
~I like taking them all it depends on my mood
~I have only taken classes with a few instructors so far so this me not be a completely fair review. I love Ann since she works us very hard and has really helped me with my form. I love Carrie since she is a wonderful instructor, very challenging and very calm and spiritual. Bristol is another amazing instructor – very talented, spiritual, and inspirational. She also has a very challenging class.
~I like the diversity of the instructors. everyone has their own style!
~all of you. each have your nice ways about you. I learn from all of you.
PRIVATE LESSONS:
Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis that had impinged on my cervical spine, I was eager to move from my physical therapy exercises into something a little more all-encompassing. My neurosurgeon suggested trying a low-velocity program like Yoga, but I was hesitant to leap into a class without first discovering which exercises would be safe for me. I met with Lynnette Walker for a private session and she helped me piece together the perfect Yoga program. The improvement in my symptoms and overall well-being has amazed me and my doctors – I’m stronger, healthier and happier than I’ve ever been, and best yet, I have managed to stave off neurosurgery. Thank you, Lynnette, and all the teachers at Yoga Center of Cape Cod, who continue to look out for me. — Sally Gunning
