“If anyone had told me that Chair Yoga could be so effective in calming us down, I would not believe them. Not only did I see the changes in others as they returned from the first session of Chair Yoga on October 26th but I experienced the benefits for myself. Through your Yoga program you are providing tremendous value to our employees. I am sure that most look forward to taking your class in the future. I know I do. Very much appreciated.”
