New Year Yoga Blessings
New Year yoga blessing and a very special THANK YOU to all of the students who have supported our classes and trainings this year, and for the past twenty years.
Thank you for the cards and emails you continue to send me telling me how much our classes have changed your life – this is the fuel that keeps me going when running a small business is tough.
The best gift you can give us each year is to continue to spread the word about our Center and our Teachers. Your physical presence is what we appreciate the most. Your positive feedback in emails, and on Facebook, Google Reviews, and Yelp is what will help us stay healthy. Your financial support insures that we will continue to serve East San Diego and the world – for many more years.
Deep appreciation and thanks to the amazing teachers at A Gentle Way who love their students, are dedicated to serving our community, and making sure that yoga is enjoyable and doable for each person who walks through our doors.
And last but not least – our front desk team –
(A dream come true finally manifested this year!).
Thank you for your love for our Studio, and your dedication to helping each student feel welcome and served who walks through our doors.
I appreciate you!
Lanita Varshell

~ Here’s what some have to say about yoga at A Gentle Way ~
“ I feel safe at A Gentle Way. This is yoga I can do! This is yoga I enjoy doing.” Sonja 12/17
“ I began taking yoga at A Gentle Way at 64 when I retired, and I am still here today at 80 years young – happy, healthy, able to travel and play with my grandchildren. Yoga has helped me with arthritis, osteoporosis, and re-occuring cancer. I have watched Lanita struggle each year keeping this studio open for us – I know it would have been much easier to just close the doors and teach on your own. I am so glad A Gentle Way is still here!” Prudence 12/17
“ A Gentle Way is my Mother-Ship. You are the Center that taught me how to slow down, how to let go, and how to teach others this wonderful practice called yoga. My spirit comes back to you each time I need strength. When I broke my back this year, it was Diane that I was intuitively led to – to do private mentoring with me on Skype, and I want you to know what an extraordinary healer she is. My back is healed. I can practice and teach yoga again.”
Deborah, Omaha NB 10/17
“ What a loving spirit Kristin is! And what beautiful classes she teaches! I was worried initially when you started turning over most of your classes to other teachers this year, but they are so well-trained, and all such a wonderful addition to A Gentle Way!” Pat 9/17
“I just wanted to write about my experience in Cheryl‘s Gentle-Restorative Class on Friday. She guided us through some MIMSY style movements (windshield wipers, etc) to help loosen our bodies and prepare us for deeper longer-held restorative poses. She had lovely imagery throughout the class, helping us notice where our bodies move as we breathe, reminding us to send love, healing and appreciation to our bodies, reminding us to relax, etc. We did three or four restorative poses, and she guided us with some great imagery that created a magical experience for the entire class. We all felt completely relaxed and nurtured. I thoroughly enjoyed the class!” Kristin 10/17
“What I appreciate about Judy is her warmth, depth and authenticity. She seems to have embodied in herself what she guides us to do in an engaging, positive way.” Lynn 12/17
Thank you for adding Judy to your staff teachers this year. I love her evening offerings, and plan to be regular!” Josephine 11/17
“We LOVE – LOVE – LOVE Amy and her Tuesday 7:30pm class! It would be so great if she taught two times a week!” 12/17 Adele & Karen – (Mother and Daughter)
