"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - Mark Van Doren

• "Jayne is well read and up-to-date on Iyengar Yoga practice.  It is obvious that she truly cares about her students and strives to provide a safe yet challenging learning environment.  She has a soothing, secure voice and approach, which appeals to the spiritual side.  I leave class smiling, always having learned something new." - K. Hathaway

• "I am most grateful to Jayne for all of her assistance in working with my chronic lower back problems.  Having endured back pain since 1987, strengthening my back and controlling the periodic pain were my primary yoga practice objectives.  Thanks to Jayne's personal concern and careful instruction, I have made great progress toward better lower back health.  This was put to the test during the March blizzard, when I had to shovel a few tons of snow off of my roof, knowing that if I didn't if would collapse.

After shoveling for a few hours I began to feel some serious pain in my back.  Jayne had worked with me on a modified Warrior II pose that I could do at my kitchen counter.  So, I went back into my house threw down my sticky mat and did about 20 minutes of yoga.  I noticed my back loosening and the pain subsiding.  For me, this was a miracle.  I went back up two more times to shovel and both times were preceded by my kitchen yoga practice.

This was an exciting and life-changing experience for me.  Now I throw down my mat and do my modified Warrior II whenever lower back pain strikes.  Thanks so much for your help and support!  Your the best!"

• "Jayne,

Thank you for opening my eyes and my heart to a new and wondrous journey!  Your own energy and spirit are inspiring and have been a catalyst and inspiration for my own growth and journey.  It fills my heart.  - KS

• "Jayne,

I treasure your teachings and friendship.  I wish you transformative time in India and will welcome you back."  - Peggy

• "Jayne,

When I started studying Iyengar yoga with Jayne 10 months ago, my chronic conditions were really out of control, daily TMJ headaches, constant muscle pain from fibromyalgia, and lots of stiffness from rheumatoid arthritis.  Even after just a few classes, I began to notice a dramatic improvement in my aches, pains, and strength. 

 

Now, with weekly classes and daily practice at home, I have noticeable muscular definition and the ability to do things I never thought I'd be able to do again.  Jayne has helped me to face and accept my physical limitations while challenging my boundaries in the areas where I can grow.  It is such a gift to have an instructor with her sensitivity and creativity; I always feel that she understands what my needs are and she always finds a way to address them.  Jayne's teaching also encourages us to see the connections between our yoga practice and the situations in our lives.  I know I wouldn't be going back to school this fall if I hadn't looked at my fears, ego, and stubbornness from my new perspectives [like upside down!], but I still appreciate how Jayne's realism and sense of humor keeps me from taking myself TOO seriously.  Iyengar yoga has changed my life and future by restoring my body and mind, and Jayne has guided me gently but firmly through the process of building a strong foundation."

• "After class last night, I completely forgot to congratulate you on passing your Junior Intermediate Level II!  Congratulations!  I am very happy for you. 

Thank you for all your love, kindness, and support over the past couple of years.  You have had such a positive impact on my life in so many ways.  My yoga practice has come so far.  I am grateful for the wonderful gift of Yoga and to you for your guidance in experiencing this gift."

• "Dear Jayne,
  Thank you so much for caring the way you do. You are
  a women on a mission and I am that mission. I really
  appreciate all your efforts. You make a difference in
  the quality of my life."e;  

             -Thank you, M.W.-

• "Dear Jayne,
  Thank you so much for the private yoga session, I really enjoyed it.  We did supported back bends in Donita's class today and I felt like they were much easier because of Tuesday with you.  In fact, it was the first time I can really say I had NO lower back pain.  It's good to have you in my life. 

              Thanks for being you!

              -Love, Robin-

• "Dear Jayne,

  THANKS so much for all of the stretches you have given me.  They are definitely helping.  The hip stretch that you shared with me is helping tremendously this week <as I take my all day class>.  I don't remember sitting for this long in a long, long time. 

It makes me appreciate what students have to endure if the class is not interactive. I also, greatly appreciate your sense of humor, candor and overall support that you give to your students.  I never got the opportunity to see you teach children, but know that you definitely were and continue to be a master teacher.  Your passion and sincerity are apparent to all of us yoga students and colleagues.  Thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge and  passion of yoga.

• Dear Jayne,

Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed last night's yoga class! Whatever you had for lunch, I want it. Ha Ha It was great to see you so enthusiastic about teaching our class. Not that you ever seem uninterested or unenthusiastic, it was just more apparent last night.

Have a great rest of the week!
