The class is peaceful and rhythmic, and I love it. (I don't stick with anything I don't love.) And over the past three months my strength, flexibility, and stamina have improved. I have also lost nine pounds and counting. But more important for me, as a working mother and wife with three small children, this practice has helped me regain my center, my connection with self, with peace and with spirit . Namaste Imani YOGA. Jamila,36 College Park, GA To me, each session of Imani YOGA is a moving meditation. The mind-body connection and focus on breathwork definitely gives me the emotional stability I need daily. After a class with Imani, I feel more patient and calmer. Special thanks to Imani for her spiritual guidance and physical workouts. I am looking forward to continuous growth to my body-mind-spirit through my yoga practice. Love and light. Nzingha, 45, Atlanta, GA My neighbor encouraged me to try Imani YOGA with her. My goal was for me to learn how to relax after many years of working in a stressful environment. During the past two months, I not only learned how to relax more but, I have lost over 5 lbs. Imani is a great teacher. She is very attentive to each person needs. Imani YOGA has been a blessing to my life. O. Michele, 59, Fairburn, GA Words cannot adequately express my thanks to Imani YOGA for the provision of a measure of comfort in the midst of the worldwind of changes I am experiencing at this time. My soul was crying out for a respite due to transitioning on numerous levels simultaneously; through a difficult divorce, prolonged unemployment, financial hardship, pursuing a graduate degree after deciding to change gears from Corporate America to become a Healthcare Practitioner, and raising a teenage son alone without a family support network in this region of the country. I came to Imani YOGA tense and feeling as if the weight of the world rested solely upon my shoulders. Upon walking in, I was greeted at the door with genuine love from both Imani and Sasha, her little welcoming white dog. I entered into a safe, peaceful, tranquil environment that beckoned me to linger, learn and languish in the presence of the divine force that dwells within me. At Imani YOGA I am learning how to be still and dismiss the parade of thoughts that seem to constantly traverse through my restless mind, to focus my thoughts and to be present in the moment through deep breathing, stretching, resting and meditation. Yoga is a wonderful complement to my faith because it places an emphasis on the connection of the mind, body and soul to the divine. I am incredibly grateful. I pray continued blessings upon Imani YOGA. Namaste. Sandra, 40, Newnan, GA Imani YOGA has enriched my life by nourishing my mind and body. I suffer with back pain due to a car accident five years ago. Since I began taking yoga, it has decreased my back pain tremendously. Imani is such a awesome teacher. No matter the size of the class, she remains sensitive to each individuals needs. Lisa, 46 Fairburn, GA I love how I feel after taking a yoga class at Imani YOGA. My body and mind feel rejuvinated and new. Imani is one of the best yoga instructors I've ever had and her choice of music and inspirational readings are always in harmony for the moment. You must treat yourself to Imani YOGA. Barbara, 60+,SWAtlanta I started my yoga classes with Imani about 2 months ago. My body feels so much better. I'm learning to relax and focus more. I really look forward to my classes with Imani YOGA. Beverly, 65, Fairburn, GA My name is Tisha, and my experience at Imani YOGA can be summed up as: A warm unpretentious environment, where I felt welcomed and attended to. The music was fantastic and inspiring and I just loved the hands on way that Imani adjusted my poses and helped me to get the maximum out of my session without injuring myself. She made specific accommodations for my back and knee injuries and I walked out feeling renewed and rejuvinated, yet with with no pain or soreness. I highly recommend it for people with injuries who have had bad experiences with exercising. Tisha, 40+, Los Angeles, CA An Imani Yoga class is an action prayer of gratitude for your mind, body and spirit. You feel the peace and love the moment you enter the studio, listen to the perfectly timed music, and move with a grace you never thought possible. Every moment in the class, I felt nourished, strengthened, and stretched beyond my expectations. I treasure this gift to myself and look forward to returning for a session every time I visit Atlanta, GA. Dr. Sharon I.
