Testimonials
I wanted to say "happy birthday", congratulations, and most of all - thank you! I had to go out of town this weekend so I was sad to have to miss the big celebration, but from the note on the website it seemed like a big, spectacular party. I'm so excited by that as it is well deserved.
I also wanted to say thank you for all you doing and providing such an amazing experience by sharing the practice of yoga. Gotta Yoga to me is the physical studio, the practice, the discipline, the mindset, the welcome/openness, the learning, the people - the instructors and participants - and the opportunity. I've come to rely on all aspects of Gotta Yoga. ...
Thank you Gisela for your help with my positioning and the peaceful environment of Gotta Yoga. I have tried many Yoga Studios around Charlotte and feel I have found a home. I wish I could come more but working as a nurse full time and pursuing my masters in nursing keeps my schedule crazy. Yoga helps me keep a calm awareness as well as stretch my tight muscles from running and work. "I feel joy with the simple act of coming into your space, it is a pleasure to walk into a loving environment where the energies you have tapped as instructors translates to a palpable well being and contribution to a sense of peace in this world. I thank you, and appreciate you all." “Your staff, by the way, is amazing. Anya is tough as all get out. She makes you sweat and work really, really hard – I drip with sweat with Anya. Emily is insane – she loves frogs on the wall – insane! Diane has such a loving and nurturing spirit, but then she goes through class and works you really hard. I imagine she is perfect with prenatal women. Kim – you make my spirit soar! The gratefulness you instruct us with is just so grounding. G – you make me do things with my body I didn’t think I would be able to do. You are all so encouraging and positive – no negativeness at all. I just really appreciate you all.” "I admire Gisela and Kim's spirit and faith for establishing and running the studio in such a loving and real way. You have attracted teachers that are different from each other. But, they all have great knowledge of yoga and strike a great balance between the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga practice". "...over the months I have enjoyed the especially wonderful instructors, in class and out - so much positive energy, authenticity and yoga wisdom. I've appreciated the studio's openness to variety in the personal styles of each instructor. In any given class there can be sivasana forehead/temple massage, meditative chanting/singing, a shared personal message, a new series of postures, a sense of the "present moment" openness that bring a further relaxed and genuine experience. Thank you to all..." "Thanks for having me in your studio last week. It was such a warm and welcoming place and the instructor was so gentle and inviting. It was a wonderful experience thanks to the teaching and guidance of the instructor. I definitely plan to incorporate yoga practice into my life full of 'gottas'. Best to you in your endeavors." " I am one of those people who was convinced that yoga was not for me. I was certain that my lack of flexibility and busy mind would not be a good match for yoga. While I had tried many other forms of exercise over the years, I had a hard time embracing traditional fitness regimes. In addition, I could never find a schedule that would work with my needs. When a friend passed along the news that Gotta Yoga was opening and that it was right around the corner from my house and from my office, I decided I needed to at least give yoga a try. The 6:00am classes were exactly what I needed. I have found the classes and the instructors to be incredible. Every class is a little different from the next and I always leave feeling challenged, centered, and ready to start my day. Yoga has turned out to be completely different from my expectations and has already become an important part of my daily routine. " "...Thanks Again for such a beautiful practice this morning. I love how each practice is different from the last. I am not a morning person. At least, I did not used to be. Much to my surprise, 6 a.m. Gotta Yoga is beginning to transform my mornings. I have risen early several mornings this month, as 6 a.m. class has been graciously offered for free. There is no better way to start my day than with the incredible Gotta Yoga instructors in the gently lit and cozily heated studio. I have found that by the time I get to work, my mind is calm and ready for the day, and my body is less likely to hold onto stress and tension throughout the day. Thank you, thank you, for the opportunity to discover a new way to practice..."
