Testimonials

Real People. Real Yoga. Real Fitness.

 

  • A few years ago a group of teachers came together with the hopes of getting an after school exercise program going to help us relieve stress and build morale.  We all agreed our health and wellness needed some attention so we decided to embark on the journey of Yoga.  Only a few had ever taken a yoga class but the rest of us were willing and open-minded to trying something new.  After all, we had all heard of the benefits of practicing yoga.  Thus, we had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Donna Marguglio who was willing to come to us and share her energy, passion and knowledge of Yoga.Over the next ten sessions Donna took us on an incredible and fascinating journey as we learned about the mind and body connection. Donna embodies a calming presence that allows her students to feel confident while practicing slow deliberate movements.  Donna has the nature to nurture, the wisdom to guide, and the patience to individualize her teaching so that everyone is allowed to move at their own pace while respecting their body.  Donna renewed my faith through yoga.  She beautifully demonstrates that when people come to recognize how their lifestyle can improve their health span…living better , not simply longer – they will, at the very least, be more inclined to stay active.

  • Donna is gifted with the expertise of yoga practice, but her gift of tenderness is remarkable.  She has an exceptionally welcoming spirit – a spirit that is revealed in her gentle touch.  The students in her yoga classes experience “times of refreshment” in every session.
  • Donna also challenges each student to increase their own evaluation of their self worth.  She once asked us if we believed we had the right to be “here.”  It was a stunning question for me – a profound question no one had ever asked.  I knew the answer for me was “NO!”  That session, her loving kindness and her teaching skills enabled me to begin changing that answer to “YES!”  Donna’s heart is sincere and Donna’s desire is real – she truly has found her “calling” and I am one of many who are thankful.—-V. Marchbanks
  • I must admit that my back and neck are not as “congested”, as was a normal condition for me. I must attribute it to the yoga. Thrilling !! Thank you for introducing into my life !—-B. Filippone – Artist Mount Pleasant
  • Having never really experiencing yoga before I went into Donna M.’s yoga class with a certain amount of fear and a whole lot of “I can’t do this” attitude.  It amazes me how much easier my other exercises are since I have been practicing yoga with Donna.  She has a caring, nurturing personality and truly cares about each and every one of her students, addressing each individuals needs and limitations.  She exudes warmth and love in every class and is truly a great instructor and friend.—-A. Smith - Flight Attendant
  • Donna is passionate about her yoga practice and it shows when she teaches.  Her special gift is to make you feel as comfortable in your practice as she is in hers.  I love her classes! Thanks for the encouragement.—--Pastor S. Cooper
  •  I’m doing much better since I kicked the caffeine and have started planned exercise sessions. You are so inspiring to listen to and I’ve been motivated to continue my “10 minute” workouts to try to increase my metabolism.  You are a wonderful friend and I am so glad you could spend some time to help me.  I am so grateful.  I think a person needs a coach (buddy) to report to since it keeps them straight and on the right path.  Things are just now starting to click.  Thank you again for your help and support – your family is so lucky to have you.  You are truly a child of God…Blessings!—-J.
