TESTIMONIALS

"With the onset of the summer months approaching and being a woman, I know the sudden desire to get healthy and to look better as bikini season approaches . I see more people outside climbing out of their winter hibernation.


To the public, I found a hidden jewel in yoga. Being skeptical at first and embarrassed of my body, I finally had a friend convince me to try one class. That was all it took to transform me into a "yogi believer". I was greeted with open arms and an uplifted spirit.


It has now been over one year since I joined the The Self Awakening Yoga Studio in Salem New Hampshire and I have seen amazing results in my body and my mood as well. I never thought that yoga would impact my life in such a way that I wanted to "pay it forward" and spread the word to the local community.


It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness journey, from beginner to health nut. Just try one class and I guarantee you will feel it!"

"To tell you how much yoga has given me would take pages but it has put me on a new course in life.  I have grown and changed more in the last 5 months than the previous 25 years of my life and I owe it to you and your studio."

"I've been attending classes here at the studio since it first opened in Jan. 2008? (Barb, or was it 2007?--time flies)
After a stressful, hectic day at my demanding job, I look forward to a relaxing, yet energizing yoga class. I leave with much more energy and brightness than when I arrive."

I've found the teachers here to be among best I've had and I've been taking yoga for several years. They are dedicated, respectful, friendly and caring people. The facility is first rate--- clean, welcoming and large enough to accomodate a big class, with plenty of room to spread out.

They offer a variety of different classes; something for every level. Never do you feel left out or out of your league---no competition, no judgement!

Yoga is experiencing a great resurgence recently and for good reason. All of us have busy, hectic, schedules, but we should not forget to take some time to re-energize and de-compress. This is just the ticket'.

"Self Awakening Yoga studio has been such a wonderful place to continue my yoga journey. After discovering yoga at the gym about 5 years ago, I started to recognize the physical and mental benefits that a regular practice can offer. Yoga has helped me overcome back and neck pain as well as a lifetime of tight muscles from playing sports. After practicing at studios in the Boston area for about a year, I moved to southern new Hampshire in search of a new yoga home. Self Awakening Yoga was exactly what I was looking for! The teachers are all very knowledgeable and offer a wide range of classes their own unique styles. The studio is also very warm and inviting. I look forward to coming to class after a long day at work and always leave feeling better than when I came in!"

"After many years of personal yoga practice and teaching hatha yoga in California, I moved to the east coast and began my search for a yoga studio. To find the right fit turned out to be quite challenging, so I developed a consistent home practice instead. In 2007 I had a freak accident that resulted in an emergency four hour back surgery and a second surgery 2 weeks later. The ordeal left me with severe chronic pain and lasting nerve damage to my left leg. As I began the healing process I decided that I needed to reconnect with a yoga community as part of that process.

Upon making my first phone call to Self Awakening Yoga Studio I immediately felt welcome. I was invited in and right away got a sense of the good energy in the space. I showed up to a few different classes that week and within that first week purchased, without reservation an unlimited year's membership. I have since renewed for a second year.

The sense of community and genuine caring at the studio has allowed my healing process to continue without ego. My experience at Self Awakening has been one of peace and progression. This has allowed me to let go of physical and emotional limitations and find the joy in my asana practice again. Practice in the studio has helped to bring the yoga into my daily life and that grace resonantes, brightening and bringing ease and joy to myself, my daily tasks and my family".

"I first discovered yoga at a gym that I belonged to. I would take the occasional class and began to really enjoy the things that I learned; the breathing, the stretching and the flow of the sun salutation. I soon realized that the instructors teaching us were coming from studios that they were a part of and taught at regularly, and I found myself wanting to "practice" yoga rather than talking a class once and a while when it was offered. A friend and I found Self Awakening studio and decided to try it out- what a good decision. My experience coming here has been much more then I ever even expected it be. The studio is beautiful and clean. Each instructor is knowledgeable and intuitive towards each person's needs and although you are in a class you will always get the experience that you need. I know that after each class I will feel better than before I arrived which is part of what inspires me to keep coming back. The others reasons are endless; it helps me maintain a healthy body weight, I'm stronger and more flexible than I have ever been and most importantly I know that it is the part of my day that I devote to myself to pause, relax and just be".

I have been practicing yoga since 2000 and teaching since 2003.  I looked for a long time in this area for a studio that was a true communal environment where the yoga offered was at once invigorating and relaxing.  I found that here!
