Testimonials

"Perri's teaching ability is such that students learn the intricacies of alignment, asana, and opening in a safe but courageous manner. It is with the deeper and more significant levels of yoga--the layers that lie below the surface of the physical body--that Perri facilitates the greatest change. When the student is ready, the teacher will come and I have much to learn from Perri about my life journey and my yoga practice."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my practice with Perri. Her passion and enthusiasm for Yoga is contagious. While it was often an effort to attend the class at the end of a busy day I always left feeling refreshed, renewed and thankful that I had attended. She is an excellent coach, teacher and mentor. Her CD’s are an excellent addition to my home practice."

"I so look forward to my yoga classes with Perri. Through incorporating a wonderful blend of life philosophy with yoga practice in each session, Perri encourages her students to achieve balance, inner peace and well being by incorporating yoga practice in their everyday lives. As she safely guides us through the postures and breathing activities...I feel the stresses of my world disappear."

"I would say I have found Perri to be insightful, helpful. She is very experienced and has a soothing voice when teaching you not only to breathe but to relax! I have and would highly recommend her to others who are or might be interested in the sessions Perri has to offer!!"

"I gladly give you a few positive remarks concerning Yoga with Perri. I have been practicing yoga now for eight years, mostly with Perri. There have been five other instructors that I can remember. Perri stands out for her ability to accurately describe the feeling that I should be seeking, within my body necessary to properly achieve the desired results. She also has a good repertoire of alternative motions and postures to work around injured muscles and joints. She has helped me improve my flexibility, balance, and movement as well as being more able to focus on the moment and relax while doing all the aforementioned activities."

"I started doing yoga with Perri last April, when I was 4 months pregnant and I continued doing yoga until 1 week before delivering a healthy baby boy. I have great respect for the amount of work and study Perri has put into her practice. I found Perri to be experienced, knowledgeable, and concerned about her students. As I progressed through my pregnancy, yoga helped me relax and bring focus to my life. I also truly believe it helped me during labour and delivery to deal with pain from contractions and relax so the delivery was not complicated by needing drugs or surgical intervention. Now that my son is 8 months old, I have started yoga again with Perri and I find it gives me a sense of peace and calm that helps me deal with stress, making me a better Mom (and more pleasant to be around in general)."

"I've been taking yoga with Perri since Sept. 05, and have just finished a great Alignment 1 workshop with Perri this weekend. I attend a regular class and also the restorative yoga class regularly. I've also known Perri since the early 1980's, so have experience with her in and out of the yoga environment (the Perri before and after yoga). Perri is passionate about her practice, and exudes passion and compassion in her teaching. Of the most important elements I've learned from her are to develop an intention about my practice (admittedly not always focused or realized by me), and to be self aware and compassionate to myself in my practice of yoga. I've learned that a yoga practice will be different for everyone, and will be different for myself every time I practice, because I am and likely will be in a different state of body or mind every day. She has taught the importance of patience in the process, and that it is a learning process that will and should continue. Perri instills in her students the importance of breath, and has taught different types of breathing techniques and their benefits. The Alignment workshop this weekend helped me focus not only on aligning my body in postures, but aligning breath with postures, and aligning everything with an intent in my fledgling practice. The restorative practice is, well, restorative, to say the least! Perri is a keen observer of her students, and assists each one in their practice according to their needs - both physical and emotional. She also does not hesitate to share her personal experiences to demonstrate her points. She ws been of enormous assistance to me on a personal level, in my discovery of buried emotions through the practice of yoga and the impact of those emotions on my entire life. It has but nicked the iceberg, but has nonetheless shown me a path, if/when I choose to embrace it wholeheartedly."
