Costa Rica 2008 Retreat
TESTIMONIALS

Dear Johnny,
 
       Practicing yoga at Empowered Yoga is a  grounding, "feel-good" experience for me.   My goal is to be the best I can be each time I come to my mat.   Through the years you and your well-trained, experienced instructors have helped me refine my practice for which I am ever so grateful.  In the poses, they guide me to breathe more deeply and give technical guidance to be strong in my core a s they remind me to "treasure the moment."
 
      The Wilmington Studio is the most beautiful yoga studio I have seen; we always visit yoga studios when we are away from Wilmington.   The studio and locker rooms are always clean.  The atmosphere is calm and welcoming because of  your excellent instructors and staff.   Johnny, each time I practice at either the Wilmington studio or the one in Newark, I thank you for your vision in creating this peaceful space in which to practice yoga.
 
Namaste,

"Pura Vida allows the sometimes diluted spirit to rejuvenate and the mind to realize the body's true potential. The pristine atmosphere and quietness of the resort allows one to realize that after you are able to "let go" - you are able to gain all! "

"If you ever want to give yourself the gift of taking care of yourself, go to Pura Vida Retreat. learning some higher level of the yoga pose is the biggest gift. I'm sure I will have a lifetime of building upon these skills. The center in Costa Rica is visually one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The wellness center has treatments that nurture as well as soothe. If you have the opportunity for a watsu, do it, it's amazing.

Thank you to all of my fellow practitioners. Thank you staff at Pura Vida. Thank you Johnny for providing this great space."
