“You Rock!

I went to my doctor for an injured shoulder that made it painful to even tuck my shirt in or put on my bra. I got referred for physio,  2x per week. Well, 3 months and several hundred dollars later I was showing no real improvement. Then I tried Massage Therapy, and Acupuncture and and after several months and a lot more money I experienced minor improvement, which came mostly from the Acupuncture.

I needed something that worked so I did a quick internet search and discovered Eileen’s yoga studio. I had never been to yoga before and didn’t know what to expect but after only 8 sessions I was showing dramatic improvement, a couple of poses to practice at home and now I can tuck in my shirt, do up my bra and reach the upper shelves in my kitchen without pain or strain!

I still have a little way to go for 100% mobility and I will keep taking classes even after that! Eileen’s yoga has improved my quality of life in a dramatic way.”
