Akila Yoga - You've gotta try this place!

I'm a tough customer - but when I come across something that I absolutely love or hate, I will give my opinion. And, right now, I'm telling you - I LOVE Akila Yoga.

Three years of pain gone in 3 weeks – literally! As a teacher carrying heavy loads of books and equipment and as a runner, pain was just part of the game, I thought. I had tried everything to get rid of the back pain – physical therapy, chiropractics, and even an injection of cortisone into my spinal nerve – nothing worked until I started personalized training with Mijael at Akila Yoga y Danza.

Mijael helped me understand how important the mind-body connection is in healing physical problems. Through sequences of exercises, postures, and daily meditation that Mijael prepared for me, my back pain disappeared and my inner happiness started to return! (We're always happier when we aren't carrying a ton of pain around, right?) What a wonderful thing to wake up pain-free!

Yoga has been my daily energy boost, my stress reducer, and my mental and physical therapy that has helped me get through some of the tougher times while living abroad.

Oh, an even cooler thing to note about Mijael, my miracle-making yoga instructor, he's bilingual (Spanish/English) and understands what it means to live through the changes that come with moving from one country/culture to another.

You gotta give this guy a try!
