- "Here is a class that gives and gives; yoga with Mindy Eisenberg is nothing short of dynamic! The personal attention to form, breath and posture for every class participant makes you feel wonderful - even after the class has ended!"—Nancy R.
- "These classes benefit me greatly. I have been dealing with MS for nearly 25 years, though most notably for the last 9. Yoga helps me lessen spasms and improve my balance significantly. The stretches are recovering my range of motion, particularly to my arms. I walk out of class more steadily, more energized and more serene. Besides it's just fun."—Lynn
- "I would like to not have MS. I wish that when I stand to walk, a miracle would happen and I could walk and run just like I used to. However, when I cross the threshold into the yoga studio, there is no judgment. We are all the same, and this yoga class provides that respite and solace just for 2 hours, I am able to leave MS at the door for a short while..."—Liz
- "The physical benefits of yoga are endless, not only does your body stretch and twist in energizing ways your mind can also."—Pat
- "I look forward to going to yoga every Wednesday. It's good for my body, my mind, spirit & my attitude towards this disease. When something in my body chooses to have a mind of its own, I hear Mindy's words in my head--breath and direct your energy to where you need it to go and be nice to your body."—Dawn M.
- "I find I am able to do things that I didn't think I could do. I will never forget the 1st time, when we were standing, and you asked us to raise the toes on our right foot. I was unable to, however, the next time, I was able to lift my toes! I was so excited! Seems like a small thing, but it was no small task for me!"—JGM
- "I very jealously guard the time slot for the class, and am not even tempted by offers to go do other things. This has become far too important and powerful in my life. Yoga has improved how my body feels and moves and my overall sense of well-being. This class has become that thing called Hope."—Pam
- "I think the class is very effective in teaching how to relax, focus and do movements that will help our bodies. The instructors know that the MS body is different than the average body and takes that into account with every move we make. Instructors offer moves that will help ease the uneasiness or pain that we can do at home easily by ourselves."—Yvette
- "You travel around the world taking seminars to make sure you are giving us the most up to date and best yoga practice possible. You make sure our class is small enough so you watch each of us so we won't hurt ourselves during yoga practice. And you know if we are having problems with certain parts of our body and make sure to show us how a particular yoga exercise would help with that problem."—Jody
- "This class has helped improve my balance and flexibility as well as improved my walking gait It has helped me to overcome social withdrawal, and I have opened up somewhat to others in the class more than before The socialization and interaction have made me look forward to the class. If I have to miss a week, I just feel off the rest of the week. I have come to love talking with the instructors as well as the other members of the class."—Beckie
