Testimonials
“After injuries sustained from a fall, I was becoming increasingly
frustrated with the lack of progress I had with traditional western
medicine. I agreed to try yoga with a friend and my recovery has
been incredible! I have recovered full range of motion and am now
pain free thanks to Barbara Kennedy and yoga.” - Kim Duffy, Clinical
Psychologist
“Clients referred to Barbara Kennedy’s yoga classes have reported
benefits in reducing and managing anxiety and depression.
Barbara is an excellent teacher who has great skill in making yoga
practice accessible to all.” - Finlay Grier, Clinical Psychologist
“A friend suggested yoga might help my back pain and stiffness.
She recommended Barbara Kennedy and YOGAworx. Every one of
Barbara’s YOGAworx sessions is a new yoga experience. She
focuses on a different area of the body, different aspects of yoga,
relaxation techniques and breathing techniques. I’ve quit my
chiropractor and feel better than ever before." - Sylvia L.
“Barbara provides such a nurturing space in her YOGAworx
classes. Her students stay with her because she possesses such
a beautiful, peaceful energy in her teaching. She is an amazing
yoga instructor with a vast amount of knowledge to share. We are
all very blessed.” - Jeananne L.
“I know it’s a cliché, but YOGAworx changed my life. By the end of
my first 6-week session with Barbara, I had quit smoking. And that
is only the first of innumerable positive contributions this class has
made in my life. YOGAworx is great for the body, even better for your
soul.” - Jon K.
“Barbara’s classes are enlightened, spiritual, and fun. She instructs
in an easy, direct way that reveals the practical benefits of yoga
along with its more esoteric dimensions. She teaches the practice
of yoga as a way to prepare the mind for meditation. Her students
learn to listen to their bodies. She taught me not to judge my body's
limitations, and with acceptance began improvement. That's been
pivotal." - David Y.
FROM MSD WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP:
"Thank you so much for the yoga classes that are provided by
MSDWT for employees. I have been attending this class for at least
6 years and look forward to it every week. I know by taking this
class that I am much stronger and more flexible than I was prior to
the class. It is a great stress reliever - a must for a middle school
orchestra teacher." - Corinne I.
"I have been practicing Yoga once a week with Barbara Kennedy for
nearly three years. Since beginning this routine, I have not been ill
once, not even with a cold! As a teacher, I have been exposed to all
kinds of illnesses, but I have stayed healthy. Also, I have always
been plagued with chronic back problems and had been seeing
chiropractors on a regular basis for about fifteen years. Since
practicing Yoga, I have not needed a chiropractor, and my back and
neck problems are mostly history! I have not changed anything else
in my life, so all of this has to be because of Yoga. I knew it would
be beneficial emotionally and spiritually, but I really did not expect
the boost to my immune system or the benefits to my back! Yoga is
one of the best things in which I have ever become involved. I
recommend it to everyone!" - Jeanie M.
"I just wanted to say thank you for another great opportunity to take
yoga after school on Thursdays this past year. It was wonderful to
have access to the relaxing and strengthening exercises. We
teachers greatly need and benefit from this. Barbara Kennedy is the
teacher's teacher - she has the best step-by-step pedagogy that
makes some difficult moves easy to understand and rewarding to
accomplish. Thanks so much for offering this valuable class to
teachers. We appreciate it." - Elisabeth O.
"I have gained a calm inner sense of being which is also visble to
people from the outside. My students always comment on how
calm I am and that it helps them feel the same." - Traci R.
“Excellent teacher. Barbara knows her subject. She is always
positive, supportive and helpful."
“She is highly regarded and makes a substantial positive
contribution here in our township schools.”
FROM DOW AGRO SCIENCES:
"I love Friday yoga classes. I can go in with a headache and come
out with it gone. It can totally unwind those knots in your shoulders
and hips! Barbara is one super instructor, always keeping it new
and different. Wish I could do it every day over lunch because I'm so
aligned (mind, body, soul) by the end of it that it's difficult to get me
off my center the rest of the day." - Linda F.
"Yoga has helped me with low back pain. I used to be very stiff and
straight in my lower back, and by practicing yoga, my lower back
has become stronger and more flexible. I have been taking part in
her classes here since she began in 1990 and continue to look
forward to each weekly session. In addition to the physical benefits,
it is relaxing a great stress-reliever." - Sarah E.
"Friday yoga has brought new skills and improvements to many
aspects of my life, one of those is much better balance. I find that it
helps with snow skiing and other sports I enjoy in addition to
helping with every day tasks. I use the deep breathing techniques at
night whenever I have trouble getting to sleep. As a runner, the yoga
stretches have helped me loosen tight muscles." - Terri E.
