STORIES FROM THE MAT

A quiet revolution in healing, told by those who’ve lived it.

Healing doesn’t always roar.

Sometimes, it whispers through breath, balance,
and the courage to show up.

These voices carry the quiet power of that journey — honest, vulnerable reflections from those who’ve stepped onto the mat to meet themselves fully.

  • You’re a godsend!
    You're the only one I feel safe enough to practice with. Yoga is very vulnerable for me but I really feel relaxed after. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.


    - Andi

  • I am currently in therapy and have been diagnosed with a mental health diagnosis.
    I am learning to deal with it.  Yoga is new to me and it's helping me cope with this new way of living.  I am so appreciative of this opportunity.

    - Jessica

  • Connecting with others who have similar mental health challenges is wonderful during these classes.  I also always look forward to spending a little time relaxing and only taking care of myself during this time. 

    - Sarah

  • Yoga always helps me with stress management and emotional regulation. Practicing allows a break from the psychological stress/worry/anxiety that happens when my spouse is experiencing a mental health challenge.

    Thank you, for teaching these classes.


    - Gia

  • My mother recently passed away suddenly, and I've been trying many things to help me through depression.  I finally found your class and I'm hooked.  I always feel calmer and have the best night of sleep after.  Thank you.

    - Jill

  • Thank you so much for being such a calming peace during my darkest moments. The work you do has profound impact on community and all of Hopeway’s patients.

    With dearest gratitude,

    - Sam W.
