Yoga & Pilates

As an evacuee of the Katrina hurricane, I came to Cleveland totally spent
and dazed; happy to be alive, but not feeling very lively.  The traumas
associated with last minute evacuation and loss of all worldly possessions
(including a cat) had left me feeling totally enervated, with severe loss
 of muscle vigor and annoying cortisol-enhanced bloating.

My yoga practice at Studio 11 has helped me become reacquainted with
my body and enabled me to obtain release of tissue-bound tension as well
as reconnection with positive memories of well-being.  In particular the
Yoga/Pilates Mix is a terrific class that combines the "unkinking" and Chi-
Channel activating that occurs in the "auto-massage" of the yoga postures
with the rediscovery of lost core strength (both physical and psychic) that
comes with Pilates work.

The staff at Studio 11 has been extremely supportive and welcoming.  I
would recommend study here for anyone interested in developing greater
personal health regardless of how subtle or obvious their life stressors
may be!

YES, YOU CAN TEACH NEW TRICKS TO "YOUNG" DOGS!

When I started yoga Fall 2004, I could barely bend down to reach my
ankles. I was stiff and tight all over.  My range of motion was limited
in my hips and shoulders.  Little by little and progressing at my own
body rate, I was able to open up and become more flexible.  My yoga
instructor, Kate Murch, gave us good instructions and corrected our
postures as needed.  I have found that breathing and stretching go hand
in hand in the pursuit of good yoga form.  My sleep pattern is deeper and
my mind wakes up as the sunrises (prior to the alarm bell).  Presently, I
feel much better and still pursuing the art of yoga.  In conclusion, I believe
you can teach new tricks to young and old dogs.

Thai Yoga Massage
 

"Most splendid thing since walking upright." - MM

“I felt like I was levitating …Total Relaxation.”  - TM

"I have never felt so completely relaxed and pain free after a massage.  I was impressed with how
rigorous and thorough the process was, and how attention is paid to every muscle in the body."  - MB

"I'm as limber as the scarecrow on the Wizard of Oz!"  -JM

"Tiiu has a powerful, calming energy in her hands.  She fixed my two problem areas (shoulder and hips)
with ease.  When the massage was over, I felt like I had transcended to another plane.  The energy that
she unleashed was totally amazing.  It is almost as if she could sense the troubled areas.  I have had many
conventional massages in my life, but I must say that the Thai Yoga massage was the best I have ever had
-- I will definitely have more.  -JO"
