Nature Stone Yoga Therapy And Massage, LLC

“Surprisingly, Yoga makes me feel like as if I am unfolding and growing like a flower. When the hour and a half of stretches, deep breaths and twists and turns are done, I have moved into a new organic state of being.

Our class is called “therapeutic yoga” which means it is just right for us geezers who are not ready to twist ourselves into a bow. Our teacher Makaan Burt , gently introduces us to both the exercises and the culture and language of yoga. It was the next best thing to gardening.”

After about two months, I have had great results with Makaan’s Joint Class at the Lafayette YMCA. I have had one knee and two hips replaced, and with his leadership my very achey/painful IT band on my left leg has eased off considerably and remarkably (80% less pain). His exercises have helped my aching shoulders which used to make it impossible for me to put on a jacket by reaching behind my back. His routine is logical, and I can remember it at home–starting at my head, working down to my feet, then back to the hips and shoulders on the roller. Makaan asks his students what is bothering them to gives us exercises to help us with our aches of the day’!

Makaan is not just any average Yoga therapist, but one steeped in years of practice and personal feeling for this healing science! He gives attention to small details, and thus knows the bodies and the limitations of each of his students. I am constantly impressed with how he can quickly accesses a body structure, then challenges in a gental yet encouraging way to push his clients to find more body awareness while learning yoga. As a Doctor it is important for me to work with someone whom I trust is both well trained in textual knowledge of Ayurveda and yoga as a healing science, not just teaching a modern “exercise” routine.

I highly recommend Makaan as a yoga therapist to my patients for his years of experience and his integrity of helping each person where they are in the moment. He has helped me to bring my body back into balance after the long stressful rigors of medical school and pregnancy !

It was delightful to receive the massage treatment from you. I went home and slept for 2 hours and then proceeded to do nothing all day. I was soooo relaxed and none of my headaches since! Would love to do more. Let’s reconnect and schedule another treatment.

Makaan’s massage is the best I’ve experienced! His assessment is thorough and accurate and his various techniques and talents are restorative and healing. I left feeling integrated, renewed, and vibrant. A friend saw me afterward at the grocery store and commented on how she has never seen me look so healthy and whole. He is a true healer.

Thanks for the long deep tissue work on my right shoulder. It has been bothering me on and off for the past couple of years and I experienced immediate relief after second session. That was couple of months ago and it’s still better than it was !
