Testimonials

Hey Fred,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to write you.  I have been struggling with writing something that is useful; but, that is also consistent with my more intimate thoughts.  Candidly, you truly are a masterful yoga Guru.  As I practice and learn more, I understand and appreciate (to a small but greater extent) why you do things the way that you do.  I have tried quite a few practices and its rarely even close (although I did think that Dharma Mittra was incredible).   I also feel that you do a great job integrating the fundamental ideologies of yoga to our contemporary society  (which is not easy since, for example, most of us are probably not willing to detach from all material possessions and wander around the countryside).  In addition, I’m really am impressed that you encourage students to become self actualized rather that preaching.  Surely, this is really the only effective path to any sort of self improvement.  The practice has helped me become so much more happy and emotionally stable.  I am profoundly changed. I’m happy and I don’t think that I was before.  In many ways I think of my life before yoga, and after yoga.  I have gone through things without much trouble all that nearly caused me to have breakdown a number of years earlier.

So, really and truly...THANK YOU.  I know that it is not easy to teach day in and day out.  Your work is important.  Please keep doing what you’re doing!

“Dear Fred:
Thank you so much for everything you teached us. I appreciate all you transmitted us in these last weeks. The knowledge you learned from your masters and your own experience and personal perspective of life, yoga. Thank you for open us your heart. You will always be in mine, for example when I hear the music you copied us, so full of energy and so profund as far as I can understand the songs with my limited English and more limited Sanskrit but the language of the heart is somehow ever understand :)

This teacher training was a gift from heaven for me and you are like the angel that God choosed for opening us the door to yoga world, where love is raining and the bliss is growing like flowers of all kind of colours from the ground, a trip to the inside of ourselves, to remember what we really are and not being afraid of opening our hearts whatever happens. Simple words but they change so much the way eyes can see.

In a way these weeks were for me a kind of vacation of mother activities, wife and a full time connection with yoga, with everyone and everything, with God.Now I'm recharged for taking again my normal activities and probably beginning to teach yoga. I don't know how to start but I may have some ideas when the time comes …”

“I am so thankful for all the insight and teachings you blessed me and everyone with. Thank you for helping me birth new possibilities in my life. I'll be in touch, and will be sending pictures soon.”

Hi Fred
I really wanted to say is how grateful I feel for all the amazing wealth of knowledge and wisdom that you are bestowing on us.
i have only reached my own journey of questing for light through reaching the very depths of darkness many years ago. You are so crystal clear and mindful and inspirational and I feel completely blessed by this experience.
Thanks for all that you share

Fred,

I came away from your class yesterday, inspired to take a fresh approach to my beautiful strong back...:)

Ring me so we can schedule a learning session. Thank u for extending your kindness. It was palpable.

Hey Fred

I wanted to express my thanks for sharing your practice of yoga with me.  Your teaching is truly special and extraordinary.    My fitness level has been significantly elevated and I feel physically great; but the real gift is that the practice has made me profoundly calmer, less stressed and joyful.   Your sequences and approach to asana while maintaining meditative breath and mind, results in an amazing and transformational experience.  I tell my friends that they have probably not truly experienced yoga until they have practiced with you.  I feel fortunate and grateful to have the opportunity to practice with a master with your experience and knowledge. Thank you very much.   

“Hey Fred, How are you? I wanted to just say hello and let you know im teaching my first pre-natal yoga class today and am very excited. I have been teaching weekly classes at studio in kensington. I wanted to let you know that there isn't a day that goes by that i dont think of you and all the
knowledge you have passed on to me. I am forever grateful for all of your words of wisdom which i again i use daily in my own classes and all of the sequences and incredible techniques i apply each and every day. Thank you ( much overdue)! Hope all is well.”

Hi Fred!

peace and grace! Soo good for everyone around you since you transfer
that in an immense and joyful way!
Can't wait!!

"Thank you so much for being an amazing, authentic, and genuine teacher. You taught us the true meaning of Yoga. Blessings... "

"A note of thanks to you. I'm sure you don't remember me but I came to the Brickell studio in early 2008 with my daughter. It was my first time and yoga has really saved my life. I practice all kinds of styles of yoga nearly every day and am progressing quickly to a place of great happiness. Anyway, I thought you might want to know that the work you do really changes people, in this case, me. I will hopefully see you in a yoga class somewhere in Miami soon! "

"I am so excited for the training! I can't imagine being in the hands of someone more gifted than you!!!"
