I first wanted to tell you how much I love yoga and how I can't believe how after less than a month I can see and feel the difference. It was definitely a part of my life that was missing.

After my 2 week new membership I thought I would try the YMCA so that my entire family could  have fun while I took a variety of yoga-esque classes, boy was that a mistake. It was noisy and the class right before was a very high energy class in which people came out if class dripping in sweat it was so hard to even walk in the room the energy was not like at your studio from the moment I walk in i am trasformed into a peaceful and calm environment that stays with me long after I leave

Thanks for the Christmas card and thanks for having the studio and through it, helping people like me.  I am feeling better from the head and neck pains that brought me here!  I am feeling alot better physically and mentally and yoga has had a lot to do with it!

"I first began coming to Sherry for private yoga lessons because I was seeking a way to improve my overall physical condition and reduce the stresses of every day life.  As a working mother of two toddlers, I am seldom afforded the luxury of personal time to spend on myself.  Sherry has helped me to see that by taking care of myself, I am able to be a better caretaker.   Through Sherry's patient facilitation of my yoga practice, she has helped me to strengthen my body and my spirit.  She is ever mindful of my own personal goals and needs and works with my strengths to improve my weaknesses.  We have focused on building my overall strength, the health and flexibility of my shoulders and hips and a conscious awareness of my body.  Through practicing with her in private, one-on-one lessons, I have becoming physically stronger, more flexible, better in tune with my body and better able to deal with daily stress in a more even, flowing manner than ever before.  Perhaps one of the most important things that I have gained through my practice with Sherry is the realization that I am a strong, beautiful, capable woman just the way that I am.  Through empowerment, we find strength that we never knew we had!  Namaste and may peace be with you!"

"Thai massage with Sherry is successful in releasing trigger points all
over my body that I have had for several years from trauma.  Nerve
pain is so different than muscular pain. Thai is very helpful in
helping me manage my pain.  I have definitely improved since seeing
her.  Thank You Sherry!"

"I had a great time in Lea's Mom and Baby yoga class. She structured the class so that I got a workout (and all the other wonderful benefits of yoga) while spending time with my baby daughter. Some of our activities included the babies, and Lea thoughtfully provided a soft blanket and toys so the babies could occupy themselves when we were doing something that did not include them directly. I also loved the lesson on baby massage--I still use the techniques I learned on our baby after her bath. Lea was very flexible and tailored the class to the skill level and fitness level of her students, and if one of us needed to step away for a second to tend to our baby, that was no problem, which made for a very relaxing environment. I'm eagerly waiting to see if another such class will be offered so I can come back!"

"I have been involved in athletics for what seems like my entire life.  Mid-way through my college football career, I felt like I could become a better kicker.  I was seeking someone who could make me a little more flexible in my hip area.  My initial thought was to find a yoga instructor and work with them for a few months to try and loosen up a little.  I believed with some extra work, I could take my game to the next level.  I researched and called several yoga studios and teachers.  Amongst them all, Sherry Smith stood out the most.  I met with Sherry two times a week the entire summer.  I saw amazing improvements in my kicking ability and athletic ability.  She not only took my game to the next level physically she helped me mentally and spiritually.  I honestly believe I wouldn't have been an All American in college without the help of Sherry.  I was incredibly confident in my ability and my body felt great because of all the hard work she put me through.  Sherry has changed my life for the better and I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me."

"My experience to Thai Massage has been wonderful.  Sherry spends time talking to you first to fully understand what your body and spirit needs.  She then totally relaxes you while awakening you mentally, physically, and spiritually during the hour and a half massage.  All this with your clothes on!  It's so incredible that I schedule one monthly.  Sherry has a special gift and I enthusiastically recommend that you try one!  You'll then understand the importance of Thai Massage and the blessing of receiving it from Sherry Smith."

"In my Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy sessions, It is such a wonderful feeling to be supported and heard while practicing awareness and listening to the body.  Very safe environment and presence!"

You know I love coming to Serenity Stream, and I appreciate all the great teachers, especially Sarah, Ellen, Tiffany, and Marion.  Last month I started an early Vinyasa class with Heather, and she is just amazing.  Today I left class standing taller and feeling more in balance than ever!

Thanks to her for all her work with me these past few weeks, and thanks again to everyone at Serenity Stream for the bliss and peace they provide in this very crazy world.
