Testimonials


"When I came out of Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation), I felt like Buddha was sitting there next to me. It was a hazy image, but I felt it."

-Sunita K, Therapeutic Mat Yoga class practitioner

"As long as I can remember, I have had poor posture. As I aged, I began to bend forward when I stood or sat, with my pelvis tilted forward. I tried straightening up, but never succeeded in doing that routinely. Then I discovered yoga with Lilavati. After two years taking weekly yoga classes, I automatically sit and stand straight. Lyn managed to prompt this miracle simply by reminding students to have “a long spine” and “a straight back,” and by teaching us how to adjust our pelvis in a “neutral” position. (Before yoga with Lyn, I didn’t even know that I was tipping my pelvis forward.) Recently, I started physical therapy for balance. The physical therapist checked my posture because, she said, posture is important for balance. She concluded that she didn’t have to work on posture with me—my posture is good. For me, this is an amazing achievement. All because of Lyn’s fine way of teaching yoga."

-Phyllis T, Therapeutic Chair Yoga and Yoga for Arthritis Practitioner

"In January 2018, I smashed my lower right leg––a serious injury that resulted in fractures, dislocation, and soft tissue damage. As a writer and artist who often stands while painting, this was a slow and frustrating recovery. I began with Virtual Gentle Chair Yoga and within weeks was feeling strong and balanced enough to try Virtual Gentle Yoga and Meditation done both standing and on a mat. I am now able to garden and walk without fear of falling and with renewed endurance. The positive impact on my writing and painting goes beyond words. The classes are gentle––the results are life strengthening. I am forever grateful for Lyn Lilavati’s wise, supportive, and peaceful approach to teaching virtual yoga."

-Linda K, Therapeutic Chair Yoga Practitioner

"I've been a student in Lyn Lilavati Sirota's Gentle Mat Yoga classes for several years now, and can't imagine a week without this type of yoga practice that stretches my body and mind. During her class I can just focus on myself, learn breathing practices that help me cope with life and stress, practice staying (and living) in the moment, and of course stretch out my body. I feel renewed, less tense, more flexible, for the whole day!"
