Ojas Yoga Center

How can I thank you enough for teaching me to appreciate and treasure something I already had? As this retreat is coming to a close, please know that something I'm not quite sure about is smiling with much relief. Your soft and gentle mannerisms both verbal and non-verbal seem to have a magical effect on people. It's like you sprinkle cool water on all these beautiful flowers and they get to grow and blossom.

I think what I learned from you is the certainty that taking time for silent inward reflection is crucial and not something to feel guilty about. Its much harder for me to hear and hold onto my own voice without it. I felt really spacious when I got home - calm and grounded.

I really enjoyed the program you presented, incorporating the spiritual and the physical, in a very approachable, non-dogmatic way. My own spirituality has been moving towards a nature-based approach and your ceremonies fit with that perfectly. I came away from the weekend rested, rejuvenated and with a renewed sense of what is important to me.

I can't convey how much that quiet weekend benefited my mental and physical health. I constantly struggle to find balance and stability in my life and taking some time to explore inwardly has provided a lasting change for me. I feel much more connected with myself and have been able to sustain a daily yoga and meditation practice. I really appreciate the wisdom you were able to pass on during our yoga meetings and am grateful for the beautiful, quiet haven you provided us. Despite the obstacles I've been facing lately, I've never felt more centered and connected to my inner-truth. Thanks so much for providing the tools to sustain an inner-calm and self-awareness.

My heart is filled with gratitude for your wonderful instructions and gifts of peace you bestowed on me this last weekend. I am forever indebted to you for offering this special time that I needed more than I imagined. I didn't think I would enjoy the silence much but it was so peaceful. I remembered what it was like as a child to just go outside and play and enjoy my own company. What a beautiful place of retreat. I would come again if the opportunity comes again. Watching the sun rise and set with the deer flitting around the hills and the turkeys parading across the yard was so wonderful. And the birds songs were like music. Thank you for your gentle teachings and kind gifts of peace. You have brought me to the first steps of getting back to myself.

Nicole has created a lovely space. And I appreciate her spiritual approach to yoga. There are a variety of classes and good selection of teachers. Nicole does any amazing restorative class that helps me combat muscle soreness from all the flying across country I do. Rhoda offers a beginning gentle class that is nice if you are starting out. Nicoles classes are always great. Lizzy is a new instructor that offered a great moderate flow so I am sure you will find a good fit here.
