Student Testimonials:
Gwen Dernis:
Gwen has suffered from severe neck and upper back pain since she was approximately 18 years of age. During her years as a music major she often practiced 3-4 hours a day. The pain was exasperated during this period and she said it often felt like a knife was being stabbed in her left shoulder area.
After gwen had her second child, she could no longer effectively function without constant pain and she began to practice yoga to try and find relief. Gwen has had a major shift in her alignment and some relief of pain from practicing with allaine. Although gwen had an established yoga practice prior to allaine’s guidance, she realized after practicing with allaine that she was reinforcing bad alignment in her practice.
Allaine helped Gwen to recognize which asanas needed modification in order to effectively help with her specific pain and curvature. Allaine also helped Gwen to understand how some of her asana practice reflected stressors in her life and helped her to see how working through positive affirmations could help her on and off the mat. Gwen greatly benefited from her work with Allaine and is excited to pass on her knowledge as a recent registered yoga teacher of gentle therapeutics yoga.
Deborah Melzer:
Prior to working with Allaine, Deborah felt pinching in her right shoulder, protrusion in her left rib cage, and was feeling mild lower back discomfort. Deborah benefited from Allaine’s guidance in her Yoga practice. She also felt that Allaine’s positive affirmations and therapeutic approach to healing was critical to her improvement. Allaine is a gifted instructor with a caring heart and healing hands.
