Yoga Photos & Gratitude

Not enough words to say thank you for all you’ve done for me and others.
And SOOOO much work! Now a days, we Google everything to find the information….

But that is NOT the way you collected all the information you passed on to us.
THANK YOU and much love,  Anita

What a magnificent contribution your have made and are making to Yoga! Thank you for taking my yoga students to a whole new level. I can see theirgrowth in attending your workshops and it is truly a great blessed gift you are sharing. Thank you, Zena

Your method of teaching  allows students to learn to trust the answers within, when they take time to pause and listen to that inner knowing that longs to be heard ….Alma

I have been working with the spine/breath work

you have been showing us and really have felt the result.   I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the way you generously share your knowledge and awareness with us and the way your yoga helps open us up to release old baggage so we can open up to deeper states.   Lori

Congratulations on the new website.  It will be a valuable information centre for those interested in the yoga world. I so appreciate  the work involved in this and look forward to your book. Sylvia

Once again THANK YOU so much for yesterday’s marvelous workshop;  you are an amazing teacher and although it won’t be the same as having you in person, I am looking forward to seeing you on-line.  Maya

Thank you do much for the meditation and one asana class full of love, light Wisdom and no bullshit !  I heard from one of the participants inyour pranayama class they love the cosmic vomit!  Michele

I was at your recent workshop in Winnipeg, which I enjoyed very much.  I have been thinking of some of the ideas you presented…..breathing into the LBS ribs.  I think I am so armoured from years of ‘open the heart’ instructions that this is a huge revelation for me.  I find I can’t breathe into the back ribs without completely disarmouring the front. Also not collapsing the feet and the hands –

maintaining the ‘arch’ and lining up the hands, wrists, shoulders, hips…….Joan

Thank you so much Sandra and I am so proud of you.  You continue to amaze me with your grace and kindness. I could not ask for a more perfect teacher than you at the start of my Yoga journey. You have been an integral foundation and I quote you or things I have learned from daily. Julia

I want to thank you for a great workshop

 It is amazing just how much work goes on in your classes!….  I feel very light and bright.  Focusing on my bones and aligning them I realize that it frees up my muscles and the tension so that I can get into the emotions held there and release them.   I could feel so much energy releasing from deep within me…. Amazing how the body will express itself…..You keep getting stronger and more refined.
Thank you again Sandra for your love, generosity and wisdom.  You have given me the strength to act in this world, the compassion to be in this world and the love to keep going.  Tangi

I just wanted to tell you how amazing it was to do yoga with you again.  You are amazing!  I have missed working with you so much…. but as you said, my body remembers… Anyways,  I am so very grateful that I was able to attend the weekend in Calgary and I have already signed up for March in Sylvan lake..Deanna
.. I want to tell you that I feel so  grateful and humbled to have been present at your last workshop at Nadine’s studio. Sandra, that was the best workshop I ever went to. You are a magician…magician of the sole, magician of sound; your toning shakes my whole being, bringing forward parts of myself forgotten or repressed and your tonalities awaken so powerfully the warrior in myself, the one I believed had given up his battle. Esperanca

Thank you again for the toning workshop.  I am so happy and feel fortunate that I heard about it and signed up.  I have been looking for ways to broaden my yoga practice and this first exposure to toning was interesting and I found it releasing and enforcing.  More tools for the toolbox, as you said.    Patrice

Thank you once again for facilitating another wonderfully enriching retreat.  It is always so rewarding to work with you. Jane

Just wanted to say thanks for all you share with us; for guiding us to “do”,  to remember old favourite techniques, to refine our methods and improve our own practise and teaching  and for inspiring us with new twists or different emphasis and renew best ways  of seeing and being.   thank you, thank you. Carol

Love your point about working on a subtle level, Sandra. It’s a really nice reminder…. and a concept that sometimes gets lost or else glossed over in certain healing practices.  

I’m touched by your commitment to working on that level. It gives me hope and makes me feel less isolated in my own pursuit of working subtler within a society that, by and large, tends to gravitate to a more superficial outlook. Thanks for being such a heart felt role model! It means a lot.
Kirsten

There really are few words for me to express my gratitude to you for all the experiences we shared last weekend. You inspired me to the ends of the earth; the way you teach, the truth you share, and all the love. When I left the space I was buzzing with energy and excitement. It was incredible to be so intimate with prana and spirit over the weekend. The toning was amazing as well. You are such an inspiration to me and I am so honoured. I look forward to attending workshops with you in the future.From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!  Carrol

I was thinking about what I could do to give back what you have given me. What came to mind was to continue teaching. And sharing what you have shared, in my own style of course. Already my style has been greatly influenced. But I am only beginning as a teacher and the whole road is a bit daunting I’ll admit. It is a job that involves working so intimately with people and I really want to become better at that (by being better myself). I know I have a lot to learn. And I pray that I stay on a path that keeps me deeply connected to spirit and truth. Nicole

Thank you again Sandra for a wonderfully  transformative and healing weekend.  You have helped me more than you will ever know,  (over all these years) allowing me to get in touch with who I really am.  The Yoga is so grounding ,  but yet we are taken to such a magical place of healing and light… and it can always goes deeper.   The experience is hard to put it into words but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it. You are a gift from God and are so “relevant” (as you put it)  Don’t you ever forget that!!!   Heather

Hi Sandra I am still blissed out and energized like the energizer bunny after our wonderful day with you.  What a perfect day to be inside practicing yoga amongst good friends and our fellow Yogini’s and teachers.  Thank you for sharing your wisdom and truth.
I love you favorite teacher, Love Julie

You are so loved by all your students. What a magnificent contribution your have made and are making to Yoga! Thank you for taking my yoga students to a whole new level. I can see their growth in attending your workshops and it is  a great blessed gift you are sharing.  Blessings, Zena

I appreciate that you share your life stories with us as it has helped me to see how to integrate The Path of living Yoga into day to day life.  Your bringing the “reality” of living Yoga into our awareness is the most treasured gift, and I am so blessed that this path has led me to You.  Anne

 

I would like to thank you from the depths of my heart for your love and wisdom, and for the beautiful retreat.  I am very grateful for the ground you hold and the space you create.  More than I could ever be able to articulate.Your personal attention and love touched me very deeply.  I hope you realize how very important you are; how much you mean to  me and to so many others; how much a difference you make.  I really appreciate you.   Kirsten

The weekend was very good for me.  I feel less burdened by the grief, negativity, pain and anger I have been carrying.  I was able to release a lot of it.  Jacqui

You have changed my life and continue to inspire an eager drive to always move forward, as if winding the way up a spiral staircase.  Your voice and gentle promptings are with me always. You have helped me to befriend my body and the “so-called negative” aspects of myself. It is truly liberating and nourishing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!   Karen

Thank you so much for the wonderful evening last Tuesday! What a beautiful teacher you are!  Since then, the last three nights, I have had the most deep and restorative sleeps in what feels like years.!!! Something fundamental shifted in all of that sounding. 
You are such a treasure in my life, a blessing and force of good… Tara

I am so thankful to have stayed in touch with you over the years Sandra. It truly was a gift of divine intervention that got me to your studio and into your classes back in the mid 90’s.Thank-you for sharing your wisdom and your soul with me,this is a very special and sacred thing to me and you look amazing, it seems like you just never age,
you seem the same to me as in 1995.  Cindy

You are such a light in my life. I know I’m not alone in that I feel so incredibly loved, supported and inspired by you. Your integrity and heart are enormous, and I feel respected, and held. Held by your love and encouragement, and your wise perspective. It’s so heartening to hear you talk about death, your family, what “works for you” and all the stories that make you both human and humble. And just so you know, I loved all the “yoga” too… I’m continually amazed at how creatively you work with all the bodies (koshas). Thank you, Bless you, Erin

You are amazing to me. You inspire me. I feel I can breathe again…  Thank you for sharing of your self.  Your wisdom. Your stories. Your insights.  Your knowledge. Your humor. Your smile. Your love.  Deanna

What stands our for me is how complete the retreat is. You get at things from so many different ways. And it always for me feels solid and embodied. It is brilliant how you get into spots with depth and gentleness at the same time. I feel deeply supported, loved and held by you. You come and touch me at times that makes me want to weep – I feel so seen. The kindness and care you come forward to me and others is the healing. It inspires me as I am sure others to never giveup on “the love”.  Take care my dear love, bless you and many hugs, Ann

I really want to thank you for the most wonderful Meditation class last week.  Not only did it touch my soul but, practically, the toning has really helped my hearing.  Every morning I take the scenic route to work and I do the toning all the way. My ears open up and I am able to hear so much better even though, as a PreK teacher, it is sometimes better not to hear too much! Again, thank you for making my life so much better. Wendy

Thank YOU for a truly amazing workshop – You came

into my life at the time I needed you most and shared so many of your wonderful stories, especially stories of your mother’s passing. Today I have received a call that my mother has been admitted to hospital and is unlikely to make it.  I’m making travel arrangements to get home as soon as

possible but I feel so very strong because of your influence. I am not worried if I make it in time or not – it is my mother’s time to go and be set free from her suffering over the last 10 years, so thank you for passing on to me YOUR strength. I very much hope that I am privileged enough to attend another workshop with you sometime in the future. Lots of love, Mandy

Thank you very much for the “unique” Yoga session this weekend. I value your wisdom, your inner strength and your authenticity. You are a very special woman with many priceless gift. Namaste, Bernice

I love that you love me and I know you do and that I love you and that I know you do. Love, love, love, Donna

I love and admire the way you share your journey with me. Also how you truly speak your truth. Your love of yoga shines so brightly that everyone around you grows. Thank YOU for sharing and for always being present. Lani

I am so grateful for the dedication you have to Yoga and for sharing your journey. It has been life changing for those of us who have been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of  your life. With heartfelt love, Marney

As always you manage to be present for each and everyone of us, sharing your wisdom and encouraging us  to find our own. Namaste, Caprice

My experiences in your classes have totally changed my life forever. Thank you for your love and compassion. Much love and blessings to you, Sandra Linda
