JOY Yoga from a personal view of the students

This is the space for my Yoga students to share their experiences with other people.  Send me an e-Mail and tell me about your experiences, your development or just about your impressions. I will publish it here on the space, respecting your privacy.

J., a student from Lanzarote:
"Since I started Yoga with Beate, I have less back problems and more energy! Beate is a wonderful teacher. Through her gentle and sensitive way she finds out quickly, which physical problems one has. Her exercises are good for the body and improve general well-being. Driving home, I feel very relaxed and am looking forward to the next class.”

Margit Tetz, also a Yoga teacher:
"Yoga with Joy is really joy!  I met Joy for the first time in 2009. I enjoyed her beginners and advanced lessons; not only because they are very variable (and I do not mean the languages English, Spanish and German) and harmonically structured, her profound knowledge flows in very subtly - not only with her carefully performed corrections, but also because the spirit of Yoga is always present. In 2010 I joined some of her beginners’ classes – being a Yoga teacher already. I was amazed! Joy is able to raise the consciousness about how important to perform an exercise is and not, which kind of exercise to practise. With body, mind and soul. Thus she always inspires me again and again."

K., a student of my Yoga class kept it short:
"After the classes one feels like having received a cleansing of the wings."

P. – a participant who lives on Lanzarote:
"It is recommendable to everybody interested in Yoga to enjoy a Yoga lesson with Joy Beate. She invites us to enter places, which are more than sensible and suitable for a healing and stimulating Yoga auto-treatment.

Already during the arrival one can get into this special mood through extraordinarily beautiful corners on this unusual island; where the space is to get into this kind of body work. A place, where one can realise harmonically a  conjunction of colour, form,  scent and sound, for example from Joy Beates` light blue or white hair bend to the dark shadows of the plants in front of the window or from the perception of the own scent to the pleasure of smelling fresh air.

Joy is capable to join the motion routine and to guide it with a calm and clear voice. Thus one can close the eyes and enter into the exercises.  One is guided securely, friendly and sensitively throughout the class into a state, which gives energy and confidence until the return to daily life. A deep relaxation, in one self and well kept in the group can therefore worked through with pleasure – and starts easily in the final relaxation phase if not already at the beginning of the class."

Sabine S. from Wöllstein:
“Dear Joy – thank you from the bottom of my heart. It seems like a miracle what benefits the classes – especially the private lesson and the massage had. I have energy. My exercises at home in my Yoga and Pilates classes work out better than ever. The pain because of a disc problem is much less.  Since I suffered from the disc prolepsis I had not felt that young anymore. It is not only the bodily sensation, which improved enormously; I also understood or better to say recognized a lot, which helps me in daily life. I am looking forward to see you again, to learn more and to get more massage work from you.”

A student of one of the intensive workshops:
"Three days sounds a lot, but it never got boring. In class I gained consciousness for my posture and for my daily life movements. During the following weeks I recognized some old wrong postures and thus could release a knee problem, which I suffered from for two years.“
