"I slept like a BABY last night! As a lifetime insomniac, the one thing I’ve noticed about yoga is how well I sleep that night after a practice." -Sandra
"I want you to know that the way you teach yoga has brought me so much further than I could ever hoped to be. I know that if our paths had never crossed, I would be locked in a continuous cycle of pain and misunderstandings ~ meaning that the love and thought that you put into our yoga sessions has enabled me to come into (or close to coming into) poses that I would have never done correctly or in such a way as to benefit my body and soul. You have taught me how to breathe and to move gently and with care into poses. Thank you for the love and consideration you put into our yoga lessons. I am never afraid of injuring myself in your class. I am constantly challenged and always a little sad when class is over. You ROCK!" -Natalie
"While I do attend classes with Sonya, my private lessons enable us to concentrate on my particular body type and what is most beneficial to my structure, my nature and my aptitude at the moment. Sonya has taken me to the “scary places” and taught me to send love and light to the unbalanced areas of my body. I watch and feel as my body moves through weakness and panic to strength, agility, grace and freedom. I thank Forrest Yoga and Sonya Nelson for coming into my life and assisting me in rebirthing my mind, body and spirit. I am radiating sacred beauty, purposeful poise, and holistic health and wellness." -Lynn
"The benefits that I’ve noticed are small differences in daily activities. For example, I can wring out my washcloth without the discomfort of arthritis. That is no problem now and I’ve had a great increase in my hand strength and mobility. I feel less ‘creaky’ when I awaken in the morning and I sleep better. Until I began this Forrest yoga, I had not been able to sleep on my stomach for over 40 years due to the stiffness in my neck and now I can. In fact, the greatest relief I’ve felt has been in my neck, shoulders and upper back. I’ve enjoyed many physical benefits from this style of yoga." -Bertie
"I am deeply grateful to have Sonya’s support in my life as a trained Science of Mind Practitioner. I knew that Sonya would be the perfect spiritual "coach" for me because I could see the way she used the principles of truth and positivity in her own life. She embodies the core principle of unity in everything she says and does and utilizes that faith to the benefit of her clients. She helps me clarify where I want to be, know the truth for myself and the highest good and purpose for my life every step of the way." -Jill
"I’ve found Forrest Yoga to be more of a workout than a meditation and, surprisingly, I love it. Sonya’s teaching style is upbeat with a deep spiritual undercurrent and works perfectly for me. I feel both pushed and loved in the process of “stretching.” I think my body actually looks forward to the attention it gets from me on Saturday mornings. Sonya’s instruction is clear, precise and consistent. Understanding what to do as she guides the class through poses is never the challenging part ~ it’s doing it that is. Seriously, I’m having a ball working and playing hard and the results have become noticeable to me already…on and off the mat. Thanks Sonya!" -Cathy
"Working with Sonya for continued spiritual counseling enriches my life in a tangible way I can really use. Our sessions offer opportunity to see beyond the apparent answers to a larger truth. Sonya delivers compassionate, yet direct and truthful insight, that allows me to reconsider how I am looking at a situation. I DO get to choose how to look at life. I love it! I recommend Sonya as a spiritual coach!" -Gary
"My improvement from this yoga is quite apparent to me. I used to go to the chiropractor often and I have not been for quite some time. I definitely attribute this to the yoga. Attending classes on a consistent basis makes my body very happy. I am more flexible, feel the changes in my joints, have better posture, more awareness of my breath, more energized and on and on. Think how I would be if I were doing this several times a week! Sonya’s presence and expert teaching is very rewarding. Her example, the instruction, and assistance in a firm yet encouraging way are most beneficial. This is a spiritual activity for me coupled with lightness, laughter and loving support. I am thankful for Sonya and yoga in my life!" -Aleena
"Sonya has an amazing teaching style that makes it easy for me to concentrate on all aspects of my being--physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. There have been many times that I felt that I could fly after taking her one of her sessions and the feeling is simply euphoric! Thank you, Sonya, for all that you do!" -Betsy
