Aside from the testimonials given by Los Angeles celebrities that you see constantly flashed to the right (testimonies on our yoga practice from Jennifer Lopez, Andy Garcia and Drew Barrymore to name a few), read on about people like you and me whose lives were enriched by the Los Angeles Yoga experience - names witheld unless they request to put up their names:
"I do intense training for IronMan Triathalons and if it wasn't for the training incorporated with Progressive Power Yoga I wouldn't be able to successfully, mentally complete that event." |
| |
"What I like about your type of yoga, as opposed to other yoga is I feel that I'm not wasting my time...if I have an hour I want not only the stretching and the relaxation but I want a little bit of a cardiovascular benefit." |
| |
"I've retained the muscle tone and by continuing to practice as I gain the weight throughout my pregnancy it's almost like working out with weights" |
| |
"I enjoyed these classes because I'm mover, I like to move but I love to stretch and so putting it all together into a Flow class worked perfectly for me." |
| |
"Your program is so enlightening and so free that I was able to go at my own pace and still feel like I was really challenging myself, without hurting myself, just completely able to enjoy it." |
| |
"I gained about 45 pounds during my pregnancy and with the Power Yoga tape series I was able to go from a size 10 to a size 6 in just a few weeks and was able to get back into my old pants very quickly." |
| |
"I've played Football, Basketball, Soccer. I Snowboard, I surf, I skated when I was a little kid and there is nothing that'll kick your butt harder than Yoga." |
| |
"It takes the muscle and it just pulls it out and it makes it really long, and lean." |
| |
"It's deinitely a great exercise, I'd like to get into it now as I go further in my pregnancey and do it on a regular basis" |
| |
"I've allowed it to be part of my life every single day so it has been very enlightening and I find my self to be very much more happy and open" |
| |
"I was a major gym goer, and it was so mindless...I came to class and I loved it, you get so much more, for me, than a gym experience and it just focuses in and what you do on your mat focuses into your life and keeps you so much calmer." |
| |
"It's a very strong, physical, flowing practice but once you get into it you start to quiet your mind and it really helps to calm you, center you and connect you." |
| |
"I discovered Progressive Power Yoga and it's been a journey since then, six marathons later...without yoga I woulnd't be the athlete that I am." |
| |
"Yoga, especially power style Yoga has helped me gain access to 5 World Championships in 4 physiologically different sports. It builds a beautiful V-shape, because of all the inversions that you do, your back gets wider, waist gets skinnier and your legs tremendously strong, because every Yoga pose is routed through the legs. Can't be beat."

I have Abs now and arm muscle and my whole body, the shape has completely changed. I've gone down, like, 2 dress sizes. |
| |
"I'm 61 years old. I've had 2 hip replacements. The doctors are absolutely amazed how much strength I have, endurance, and how I'm able to hold those replacements in place without dislocating. And I think its because I've been practicing Mark's Progressive Power Yoga for several years. It really helped me after my therapy to start back with him and to really build the muscle strength that I needed." |
| |
"I'm 69 years old and I have arthritis and I have scoliosis. And since doing Mark's power yoga, I am in better shape than I have been in 20 years. Just do a little bit. Just do whatever you can in the beginning. It's like walking around the block and the next time you do two blocks. You absolutely can do this. You just do a little more each time and one day you'll finish the whole thing and you will be so proud of yourself!"
