"At 32 years of age, I sustained a serious spinal injury. A Mack truck broadsided my Subaru and left me with devastating pain and significant physical limitations. Having been a fitness instructor and exercise enthusiast, I longed for the exhilaration of a strenuous workout and the desire to feel healthy and strong again in my body.

I searched for many years for an exercise program that would help me to become fit and strong again and would be particularly strengthening to my back. I followed up on endless recommendations and I was told repeatedly to try yoga. I worked with three different yoga instructors. Much to my dismay, I had to leave class early feeling discouraged due to re-injury. I became convinced that yoga was not for me.

Nancy Friedman and I were introduced two years ago. It was with trepidation that I agreed to attempt yoga postures and specific stretches that Nancy felt would help me. Nancy Friedman changed my life. She understands injury and support for healing. She doesn’t judge. Surprisingly, my yoga practice under Nancy’s tutelage has made me feel strong again! I’m fitter than I’ve been in years and I once again have confidence in my body’s ability to sustain my once lost active lifestyle.

Like many healing modalities, yoga has the inherent power to make a profound and positive difference in ones’ life. However, any therapeutic modality is only as effective as the practitioner’s skill level. Nancy is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner and a gifted teacher.

She is patient, kind, encouraging and enthusiastic about her work. I highly recommend Nancy for anyone who is looking to heal mind or body, and for those who want to explore the myriad benefits of yoga practice."
