Julie W. says, "As a new mom I don’t get much free time for myself. Lindsey took this into account and it was as if she knew just what I needed. Her message to me was about self care; it was so inspirational and just what I needed to hear. I also told Lindsey I was having some neck pains so she was sure to provide stretches during our session and ones I could do at home to help alleviate the pain. Highly recommend her!" Read more

Malini P. says, "Vikki’s kindness and empathy shines through during her yoga sessions. She focuses on what you need for your body and mind and gently takes you through a yoga practice - with breathing exercises, meditation, and a variety of poses. The last session I attended was focused on the back and neck and she connected with everyone in the room - even though we were all remote.

Reviews for Columbus meditation classes

Recent success stories from people in the Columbus area.
Christine R.
Being a novice yogi myself (as in having attended 3 yoga classes in my lifetime), Lindsey had a way of easing my nerves and guiding me through the techniques, poses, and breathing patterns. We had our fair share of laughs as I tumbled to the floor trying new poses. But from the laughter came her patience and perseverance with new techniques and modifications to make each pose easier until I am able to progress with my balance and strength in the more challenging poses.

Jodie is extremely knowledgeable and takes a lot of pride in what she does. She helped me through a very difficult family situation that was hard to navigate without her help and support. She is compassionate and listens. I am so grateful to have chosen her to help me through a very tough time. Forever grateful!!
