Workshop: Intro to Yoga

Hi, Kathleen, Thanks for the inspiring yoga workshop. It was really wonderful to hear your story and to be in the presence of a really great group of women.
- Peace, A.K.

Hi, Kathleen, I want to thank you for the workshop in Saranac Lake. I was in Saranac visiting family members and found the advertisement in the local paper and really did not know what to expect. I have been going to Yoga periodically with my daughter for my arthritis and found it to be so helpful, however I usually feel intimidated not knowing all the different positions. Your class was perfect! It taught me to relax more because I find it difficult to breathe and do the moves while watching the instructor at the same time and most times the teacher goes too fast. You don't and I loved it. I was so proud of myself that I went. Again Thanks for the opportunity and your sharing of your experiences, which everyone could relate to. Have a great day!
- I.F. (the one who said you should be on Oprah)

…the workshop—I've never really been to anything like that. I know that I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the experience with you and the other ladies. I love listening to you speak. It made me feel sad to know what you have experienced in your life, but yet inspired knowing that you got through the hard times and continue to do so. I left feeling inspired, I left with the feeling of again, truly believing all things happen for a reason and feeling VERY grateful for meeting you, both as a person and for introducing me to Yoga.
- T.B.

Yoga gave me peace of mind and physical and emotional wellness. There is a spirit out there I can accept. After your class, I never felt such a glow in my entire life. I felt like a light bulb, a sun and thought people must be able to see it. You took me by the hand and dragged me through my life. I knew I made the right decisions and you validated all that for me… You have encouraged me to do more …and I agree that people do not have to accept their aches and pains, physical or mental. You have come a long way despite some traumas and I intend to do the same thing.
- Thanks!  E.L.

Retreat: The Call of Midlife

Kathleen, Thank you for a warm post-program note—as a participant, it makes me feel valuable. I am really happy to be welcomed into your following, and though my mental self wonders at how these things come about, my higher self is not surprised one bit that you have come into my life right now. I find your classes inspiring, nurturing, filled with understandable wisdom, and a gentle push to carry with me—a strong invitation to treat myself with respect and love.
- L.H.

I think it is us that have to thank you for this wonderful workshop. Even though I am aware of my age, what it means and what might be ahead of me, it became even more real. I felt a real camaraderie with all the women, and, hope, when you find another place where we can come together to continue on our journey, that there will be a little time to interact with each other, that would be great for we could learn so much from each other.
- All the best, R.E.

What a beautiful experience! The acknowledgment and reverence for the generations was powerful and I know we all left feeling honored to have witnessed the strength, vulnerability and sacredness of the circle of such amazing women. Sitting in the midst of trust and understanding was incredibly empowering. Thank you!
- Most grateful, K.K.

Retreat: The Power of Surrender

(I will take into my daily life) …the knowledge that my emotions, especially my fear, don’t rule me. Thank you for putting together an environment where we can look deep within without being judged or criticized. I look forward to more of your work! Namaste
A.F.

I came in fragile and left feeling like the most amazing, beautiful light! Could you do this monthly? You so inspire us.
M.B.

I enjoyed the sangha, being in the community of beautiful women… and your words are also very inspiring. I will take with me all the love and compassion that was shared in this sacred space.
A.K.

I enjoyed most the opportunity to connect with and share energy with my highest self; other women connected to their core. Always powerful and just what I need. Thank you for your gifts and blessings, Kathleen!
L.H.

…I’m OK, I can do it, I will not be judged. Thank you for being here for us!
C.

I have been in search of a gathering of women for years. This was wonderful, inspiring, thought provoking, peaceful… all at once.
M.J.

You are a beautiful instructor who sets a pace that everyone can follow.
R.T.

"The Power of Surrender" is my second retreat with you. Plain and simple, the whole experience of the retreat is inspiring to me. I came away knowing that "I" can control my emotions, my fears, my anxieties and not vice versa.They will only be a guest in my house! You have such a gift of connecting with women. We are there as a group, but yet you connect with each and every one of us on a personal level, and we all feel it!  I will continue to attend your classes and future retreats. Our paths have crossed for a reason. I am so aware… You have a gift!! Keep doing what you are so obviously meant to do!!

Retreat: The Power of Surrender II

I have made some major changes since the surrender workshop. I know that I only have control over what I think, I do and I say. I have no control over anything or anyone else. A lesson I knew,but at this moment in my life I needed reinforced. This retreat helped me to stand up for myself in a relationship that was not very healthy. Thank you for helping me find my inner strength again. with universal love at my side I know I can do anything.
S.

I most enjoyed…the joining together with other women seekers—the energy, the honesty, the raw power of the spirit within each of us. I will continue to seek out my "guests" and dialogue with them—seeing each one as a veil.
D.H.

What will I take into my daily life? To love myself & honor my feelings/I'm okay just the way I am!
D.K.

Into my daily life…that in acceptance there is peace. I was inspired knowing that all of us can learn and be there for ourselves and each other
T.B.

At this retreat… I was inspired by my teacher. She is very young and very much ahead of most women her age. Her strength & will inspired me.
F.F.

I most enjoyed…the whole thing, the circle of beautiful women and your leadership on the journey. I was inspired by… all the stories—hearing what others are going through, the sharing. Life is a wonderful journey, challenges and the joys.
A.

The experience of the workshop was a turning point for me. Now I still work at changing. I slip sometimes and then think back to that day and all those very special women and a special energy comes to me. Thank You for
the special person you are. I would like to see you put out a DVD of your yoga. Your pace and voice just makes me feel good. Thank You

Retreat: The Freedom in Surrender

What an honor and experience to sit in a circle of such power, such amazing women! It was so moving to be gifted with the soul-baring sharing of each one of them. I am humbly grateful for the opportunity to grow in such company. Thank you!
KMK

I felt this retreat so empowering. Surrender to me means freedom to be who you are; freedom to reach out to others; freedom to remove barriers of insecurity, and letting go of the fear of rejection; freedom to make a difference in someone's life. It's a message you walk away with wanting to share with others. Thank you for empowerment.
