Mary:
Her doctor suggested tranquilizers for dealing with stress and anxiety. She wanted to try yoga instead. So far, the breathing have helped her to learn to block out the outside world. In addition to the stress reduction and relaxation she has experienced, her flexibility has improved. She is also more aware of her posture and spends more time stretching. She works with videos at home to improve her practice.

Sue:  
Sue enjoys yoga for its social aspects. "I can do something good for myself and enjoy it with all of my friends." Sue spent many years being the primary caregiver to her ailing husband, as well as her 17-year old Chihuahua. She is just now starting to take time for herself and has not yet started a home practice. She also enjoys walking and having dinner with friends.

JoAnne:
JoAnne came to class to improve her body and her health. She plays golf at least four days a week and walks every day. Even though she is a relatively new student, she already enjoys all of the benefits the other students have described.
