Being a mother to two young children, one of whom is medically fragile; I have found I have received a number of benefits since I started attending Serenity Yoga, both physical and mental.  The poses have helped to reduce pain in my back and neck.  I am more flexible and have more energy to keep up with my kids.  And it has helped me to reduce and control my stress levels.  Annette provides a very friendly and positive atmosphere in which to do my yoga practice.  I can progress at my own pace yet feel challenged to always improve.  I can feel the difference if I miss class as my body and soul crave my yoga practices.  I have often been asked by other mothers also dealing with stressful medical situations with their children how I cope with the stress, and I always recommend this yoga class as it has helped me in so many ways.

Yoga with Annette leaves me with both energy and serenity. Under her teaching, you don’t just “do” yoga: she is also working to help you understand yoga.

Health reasons have led me to yoga. Lisa is my inspiration. She has brought calmness to my mind & strength to my body. Lisa is a patient, knowledgeable teacher. I am fortunate to have the privilege of Lisa's instruction"

I came to Annette's yoga studio this past September so I guess you'd say I am one of her newer students.  Although I'm not new to yoga, I feel as though my practice has been reborn.  Annette's positive attitude and enthusiasm carry me and my dedicated classmates through our poses with ease and confidence..  Her classes lift me physically and mentally and help me cultivate positivity, strength and awareness.  Thank you Annette!

Annette's classes are amazing!  They are always different and geared to those in attendance.  She explains how to move into the poses exceptionally well.  I have been to a lot of different Yoga teachers over the years and Annette is by far the best. I always feel great when I've finished one of Annette's classes.

In a busy life, my yoga practice is one thing I do for myself that helps to keep things in balance.  I benefit both physically and mentally.

Without any prior experience or knowledge of yoga, I attended the beginners class with Annette. I thuroughly enjoyed each class and was sad to see them come to an end. I did not expect to gain so much from a weekly class like this. I found the classes very relaxing, and enjoyed some well deserved "me time". I have learned a lot from Annette, and I am really looking forward to signing up for another class in New Year!

When I leave yoga I have a renewed sense of balance in my life and a source of not only physical strength but spiritual strength!  I love it!

I have just began participating in Annette's Yoga classes this fall and enjoy the inner peace and physical benefits more than I ever thought I would. I have enjoyed a great variety of sports and fitness classes over the years, but Yoga with Annette is the one I look forward to, and benefit from, the most.  Annette evokes a calm atmosphere while challenging us with exercises to strengthen and stretch and poses that enhance balance and good posture.

This has been my first experience with yoga and it has  been great.  
My strength and flexibility have improved.  I have made great 
improvement in lower back pain that I have experienced in the past.  
The classes are not over my experience level and there is no pressure 
to do more than I can do.  I have generally felt better and more 
relaxed since I have started to attend Lisa's classes.  I didn't 
realize I carried so much stress and tension in my body, and how easy 
it is to get rid of it and start feeling better.

I love yoga. I feel more in tune with my body, I am stronger and more flexible just by attending yoga class once a week.

I first started doing yoga about 6 years ago and was lucky enough to have Annette as my teacher.  As someone who related excersise to an intense cardio workout it was a difficult transition for me to make but necessary as I was dealing with a herniated disc and two bulging discs in my lower back.  Annette took the time to modify poses for me and always reinforced that yoga was a personal experience.  I was always comfortable in class doing the poses at my own level where it would benefit me most and never made to feel like I wasn’t stretching far enough or working hard enough.  The atmosphere that Annette created within her class lead to an inner calm that I had never experienced. Within a short time I began noticing a huge improvement in my pain as well as an increase in my flexibility making my daily life as well as my work as a hairstylist far easier.   I recommend Annette and Serenity Yoga to all my clients, friends and family as I am positive that if those people are to try a class they will have the best experience and guidance available.   Yoga has played a huge role in maintaining my health both physically and emotionally and truly believe it can be helpful for anyone.  Serenity Yoga is the best place to discover the possibilities that the practise of Yoga can offer you.

I have been taking Yoga from Annette for over a year now.  Annette's classes are fun and very enjoyable.  She has an exceptional way of explaining different Yoga techniques that make it easy for each and every one of us, no matter how experienced or inexperienced you are.  Annette's pleasant personality brings a unique yoga experience to all.  At the end of each class I feel great.  So give it a try, you'll love it!

Lorie B.

I have been practicing yoga for the past 8 years and I can no longer imagine life without yoga.  Yoga has helped me improve my strength and flexibility and helped me to lead a much more relaxing life.  The studio at Serenity Yoga has a very comfortable atmosphere, and with small class sizes, Annette is able to gently encourage each student to achieve their own personal goals.

Julie M.

I wake up Monday mornings thanking God, I have Annette's Yoga Class to look forward to on Monday nights.  After years of dealing with muscular pain and a congenital back condition, Annette's expertise in Yoga has taught me how to exercise gently and precisely, so to strengthen and not  strain these conditions .  My over all health has changed.  I have more energy and less pain.  I sleep better and move more freely.  I am more relaxed with daily stress and can't believe in one year how flexible I am.  Thanks Annette, your class is fantastic.

Michelle S.

I have suffered from a form of arthritis for 25 years that causes pain, stiffness and decreased mobility.  Since taking yoga classes I have noticed a great improvement.  I have very little pain and more  flexibility and range of motion of my joints.  Yoga has also given me an overall sense of calmness and wellbeing. 

Sue C.

I love that I can have a good work out and relax all the while bringing my body to new limits.  Every week I look forward to what new things I can do.  Annette not only offers relaxation, but strength and flexiblility.  As soon as you walk into the room, you can feel the peacefulness Annette's spirit brings.

Melanie D.

I love the way Lisa teaches her classes.  The environment, both 
physical and emotional is supportive of your own Yoga experience.  
You're encouraged to grow at your own rate.  I always leave relaxed 
and wanting more.

Annette is always positive and connects with each of the students in her class.  She refers to our class as "yoga practice" and recognizes that everyone comes to class for different reasons. Annette encourages each of us to set an intention at each class for our own yoga practice.

She accepts the ability of each of her students recognizing that each of our bodies are different.

She tells us that everyone will look different in a pose and that is okay. She tells us to gently encourage our body to move further into a pose once the gate is opened.

 Every class is different but all classes include the 7 major posture groups of a complete yoga practice.

Annette with her calm and soothing voice has an amazing way of helping you relax at the end of class which lets your whole body and mind find balance to take with you as you leave the studio.

Janet S.

Very pleased with classes and the way they are taught and also the studio is very clean and inviting. Annette is very professional and helpful . Glad you are here.

When my cell phone needs charging, I plug it in.  When I need recharging,
I go to Annette's yoga.  Physiologically correct, spiritually uplifting,
physically challenging, this is my AC/DC.

Gail G.

Thank you Annette for the wonderful yoga sessions at Serenity Yoga which have made a positive impact on my life.  My body, now more limber and strong, makes me feel strong and resilient.  I come to your sessions a little harried and stressed out but always leave feeling balanced in mind and body.  You lift my spirits up!

Joanne V.

Over the years I have been to a number of yoga studios and by far Annette’s classes provide me with a greater sense of mind and body, while also challenging my strengths and weaknesses.  I look forward to my weekly sessions.
