"I walked into Corine’s Yoga lesson for the first time this past August
knowing absolutely nothing about Yoga. I only knew that I badly needed
something to help me escape and renew myself from a much too hectic
life! My usual escape method was sports, but I needed something more
deeply renewing. My demanding work with much travel, combined with a
busy social life, was going at an unsustainable pace.
My first lesson with Corine was an unforgettable experience. She gave a
simple introduction to some Yoga philosophy while starting the lesson
with breathing exercises. Her example and guidance allowed me, knowing
almost nothing about Yoga, to immediately participate and feel
comfortable. We went through many postures. It was hard work but it
flowed, bringing my body to movements and positions not experienced
since childhood. I really FELT the lesson, and afterwards there was such
a huge release of stress that I found myself laughing. Every lesson I
have had with Corine since then has been similarly wonderful. I have
never felt awkward or stupid. Corine helps Yoga feel natural and
positive for all participants no matter their physical condition,
whether they are a beginner or more experienced. She has a strong
passion for Yoga that is contagious, her energy brings the whole class
to life."
