Parent/Preteen Yoga Testimonials

"I had a great experience during my class, not only was it relaxing but it was fun too! The stretches and poses we did were really creative and amusing! The breathing especially relaxed me. I try to use the breathing techniques as much as possible throughout the day. Box breathing is probably my favorite, I liked that I holded my breath as much as I breathed in and out; I find it very relaxing. This was an amazing experience I recommend this to anyone who is willing to try something new because you might find yourself loving it as much as me. "
-K.V., age 11
"I loved this experience and I'd rate the class 10/10. It helped me escape from my worries. The breathing techniques really helped reduce stress in my body. The atmosphere was calming and relaxing. If you worry or stress, or if you just like yoga, I would highly recommend this place. Also, invite your friends too! "
-J.H., age 11
"Tricia and the studio bring feelings of calm and relaxation, with a welcome break from the busy routine of life. It was a great way to reset for the week. I am grateful for the time spent at the studio and was happy I got to share the time and peaceful space with my daughter."
-MK.T., mother
"I had a great time (at Mom and Preteen Yoga). Mrs. Buys' class was very calming. The breathing techniques from class are useful in everyday moments. They are helpful to unwind and feel less stress."
-M.T., age 11
"I had the opportunity to attend a parent/pre-teen yoga class led by Tricia and it was such a positive experience for my daughter and I to share. Not only did this experience open the opportunity for us to move and care for our bodies, but there was also time included to allow us to reflect both in our minds and through writing. This was a calming, focusing and fulfilling experience- I left this experience feeling clear-minded and balanced and would whole-heartedly welcome the opportunity to be part of a session like this again!

Parent/Preteen Yoga Testimonials
~ Tricia Buys ~
"Attending the parent/pre-teen class was such a meaningful experience for both me and my daughter. The session created space for calm, connection, and reflection in the midst of our very busy week. The breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques we learned have carried into our home life - helping us all pause, reset, and communicate more calmly. I’m so grateful for the positive impact this class has had on our family. "
-M.N., mother
"I liked how the class made everything feel peaceful and fun at the same time. The breathing tricks help me feel calm and I use them a lot now without even thinking about it. "
-A.N., age 9
"I really liked learning how to breathe in different ways to calm down when I feel nervous or overwhelmed. It helps me before tests or games, and sometimes even at bedtime when I can’t fall asleep. The class made me feel more relaxed and confident in controlling my own feelings."

Meditation Testimonials
~ Karen Mangine ~
"Karen has such a calming and nurturing presence. When she leads our staff meditations, the stress of the day just melts away. I usually enter the space with my mind racing through the million things I need to do, but Karen has a remarkable way of helping us slow down and truly relax. She meets everyone exactly where they are, welcoming us to sit, lie down, or even drift off if that’s what we need. She creates a space where everyone feels comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease. I always leave feeling lighter, centered, and at peace. Karen truly has a gift!"
-B.H.
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Karen for years. I am currently an elementary school teacher, and with that can come stress. After hearing that Karen was offering a meditation class I jumped at the chance to sign up. From the moment I walked into the quiet, peaceful room I began to feel my stress melt away. Karen is masterful at guiding you through the meditation journey. Her calm voice and guided imagery are wonderful. After leaving the class I felt calm and definitely recharged. I would highly recommend Karen's meditation classes. You will thank yourself for the experience. "

Reiki Testimonials
~ Tricia Buys ~
"✨️Receiving Reiki from Tricia was a beautiful, heart opening experience. There's such a grounded gentleness in her presence - a quiet sincerity that makes you feel safe, seen and deeply cared for. You can sense her genuine connection with the energy and how much reverence she brings to her practice. I left feeling lighter, calmer and touched by the peaceful space she created. ✨️ "
-J.T.
"This was my first time trying Reiki, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect — but Tricia’s warm and welcoming personality instantly put me at ease. The whole experience was so relaxing, and I left feeling calm, grounded, and re-energized. If you’ve ever been curious about Reiki, I’d highly recommend giving it a try!"
-D.M.
"Tricia and I discussed her doing Reiki remotely. We set a time to start the treatment and for how long. What a wonderful experience. We communicated after we were done and we knew she had moved my energy in the direction that I had set as my intention. Reiki to me is such a deeply personal and vulnerable experience and I know that Tricia has the knowledge and integrity that I can trust."
-K.I.
