Testimonials

I love when Myra uses gentle massage on my temples. It's the perfect ending to a wonderfully restorative yoga experience.

Michael F., student
Myra's Chair Yoga helps me retain elasticity in my body so that I can accomplish the daily tasks of life. Myra helps us move our joints and muscles without making us do exercises that are too acrobatic for folks who are aged or have disabilities. Myra is an excellent teacher, very patient and sweet.

Vietnamese Zen Buddhist nun, Sister Hue Tri, 93-years-old
It feels like yesterday when Myra walked into my office and said, "I want to help seniors". I remember thinking, "Wow! What an intentional and rare human." Ever since that spring a few years ago, Myra has been serving the elderly living in H.U.D.-assisted housing by offering her services of Yoga and mindful movement every single week. Myra not only comes with her service offering, but she also carries this Aura with her that makes people gravitate toward her intentional and kind energy. She has added a lot of light and positivity to the community. I can see the positive difference Myra's work has brought into the lives of many elderly and has significantly enhanced their quality of life. Myra's work is synonymous with her intention and her heart reflects in the work she does, in the manner in which she interacts with every human regardless of their story. It makes people feel seen, heard, validated, appreciated, and loved.

Reshu Acharya, Social Service Coordinator at Thea Bowman Senior Housing
I appreciate Myra's attitude and the variety of movement she brings into the yoga class. She gives attention to each of us and is gentle and fair to everyone. Myra's cheerful energy adds good, positive energy to all of us in the class every week.

Mitsuyo Moore, artist and resident at Thea Bowman Senior Residence
Myra always brings smiles, enthusiasm, and variety to our class for elders and is accommodating to our individual needs. She incorporates easy Yoga stretches, Chi Gong massage and exercise, and free movement. Her compassion for others makes her a wonderful teacher.

Doris Smith, writer and resident at Thea Bowman Senior Residence
Thank you SO MUCH for such a wonderful session today!! I can't thank you enough for the kind, careful and thorough way you ran the yoga session. There was a moment when I actually had tears in my eyes because I feel like Mom actually was able to take the time to relax for herself and take care of her body and I think it felt so new to her. Thank you thank you thank you.

Diane regarding a session for her and her mother
Thank you for the gift of Yoga with you. When I start I feel like a slug and when we're finished I feel like a butterfly.
