Student Shout-Out: Ron Meagher (American Black Belt Academy, Owner) - Power Yoga Student (Noon & Saturdays)

I'm sharing some really great comments from a charismatic person who attends my classes in the Crossroads. Here is his feedback from his attendance at Power Yoga classes on a regular basis (with Ron's permission, of course):

...New Year's Day class was such a blessing for me, I feel as if I moved ahead several steps in one day. And last saturday was similar. Thanks to Power Yoga I am back in control of my inner energy and Monday I was able to stop back pain by balancing my energy during some meditations without stretching or moving. I want to compliment you, Amy, on dedicating your life to the noble cause of making the world a better place by enriching people's lives through the Yoga that you teach. Amy, you pursue a noteworthy and remarkable endeavor. One that is especially needed in an externally focused consumer based society where comfort is preferred over character by the vast majority. People in our society desperately need to understand that true happiness comes from within and radiates outward rather than getting happiness from something outside themselves. I have traveled a little and experienced some different cultures outside of America and one of our greatest flaws is our incongruent relationship to our prosperity. I have met people in other countries who have very little in matierial possessions yet are very happy. And sometimes they are very healthy in comparison. As a nation we have "supersized" not only our meals but our entire lives - our work weeks, goals, mortgages so much that we can't seem to see past our expanded pseudo waistlines to find the ground to get our feet back where they belong. Our society needs balance and moderation more now than ever before. It is quite heart warming to see someone else working to make a difference. And you are making a difference. Hats off to you Amy! Keep on keeping on. I am quite thankful for your Power Yoga Class. I will see you Saturday. Best Regards, Ron - 5th Dan Sabum Instructor, Hap Ki Do Kobujitsu & Tae Kwon Do
