🌷Easy Flow Yoga (Nuuanu YMCA) Thank you so much for doing the YMCA Zoom classes! I didn't know how much my body really needed it! I tried your class for the first time last week Friday and immediately felt the benefits. Although I felt dizzy and nauseated, I learned that the body was getting rid of toxins so I was relieved and decided to continue. Tried other Yoga sessions via the YMCA and sometimes the ones on Youtube. After today's class my calves no longer hurt and the slight pull in my left hip is gone!! Even getting out of my small car is easier. Awesome.....Yoga has brought me a blessing. It is priceless to have a body that moves well again. I'm confident that my knees (especially the right side) will also respond to the practice. Looking forward to our next class together. Also it was great how you moved your mat and camera around so our view of your poses was easier to see even if I couldn't do them all. J.H. Hawaii
Couldn’t make Yoga this morning. But, I wanted to send you positive feedback about your teaching. Your class is the one that has really opened up my heart to Yoga. One factor is that you change the routine every session. That is huge for me. Makes the experience a lot more interesting. M.D. Hawaii
I wanted to thank you for the yoga classes which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I am a novice and only started practicing yoga since the pandemic began (you can probably tell...haha). You were the perfect instructor for me. When you are finally settled in NYC, I would appreciate an update on your new class schedule and if you plan to continue with the YMCA on Zoom. I will also check your website periodically for the latest news. B.M. Hawaii
Thank you, Joelle, you’ve made a huge difference in keeping us all active and strong during these difficult times. I wasn’t able to always attend all the classes but I thoroughly enjoyed participating when I could. D.C. Hawaii
🌟Yoga Stretch Also wanted to express my deep appreciation and gratitude for generously sharing your practice and it’s underlying philosophy. You are truly a godsend to help us thru these anxious and stressful times . J.P. Hawaii
💪Yoga Strong I absolutely love the one you did Saturday, got my heart pumping while stretching and feeling good. P. K. Hawaii
I loved today’s practice, especially the intensity! B.M. Hawaii
Mahalo for this morning’s super duper class. You outdid yourself and I appreciate this new format. For me, focusing was the key and a great alternative to Lee’s fitness classes and I do recommend that you continue offering them. I think we need these types of yoga classes especially now that we are mostly homebound and easily tend to make excuses by not engaging in higher intensity formats. J.Y. Hawaii
🧘♂️Gentle Yoga I really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge & good karma with us in your classes!! I feel sooooo good after each practice!! I’m truely blessed to have crossed paths with you!!🤣 J.C. Hawaii
Thank you that was great!My daughter liked it and it said finally got her back to crack. N.W. Hawaii
As always, your positive approaches incorporating mind, body and spirit are truly appreciated. Maybe, that’s one of the reasons I feel calmer, my husband manages me better 🥺( action-packed in the AM) and I sleep well, too. J.Y. Hawaii
🌱Yin Yoga I viewed your April 9th Yin & the 8 Limbs recording since I missed this morning’s class. I wanted to let you know that while you may not be certified in yin, you conducted it very masterfully. Your explanation of yin concepts and guidance thru the movements was easy to follow and soothing. So by the end of the class I felt sublime and was blissfully snoozing.... until the phone rang. Mahalo for an excellent session. J.P. Hawaii
🔆Hatha Yoga I appreciated the story. It made me cry. K.H. Hawaii
Thank you! You have helped keep my anxiety and stress down through all this uncertain times. S.H. NY
🌞60 Minute Yoga I shared the story you told to my class. It had me tearing up. N.W. Hawaii
Thank you for today’s class and for being such a patient and graceful teacher with me as a beginner to Yoga. I know I wasn’t able to make half of the classes, but I have enjoyed every class that I was able to attend and would like to continue with you. S.Y. Hawaii 🤸🏼Detox Flow Yoga It was so great to practice with you and Julie last night. It really helped me. M.S. NYC
I loved the class yesterday and would love to do the gentle yoga today at 4 pm. Thanks! E.V. NY 🎶Sound Bath with Crystal Bowls Joelle, that was wonderful today. I totally fell asleep! I had 2 heart chakra releases. Thank you for holding the space. Your voice just puts me out every time! F.M. Hawaii
Really enjoyed your Sound Bath class and your narration. It put me into a semi-sleep state. Didn't sleep but was barely awake. Also at the end, felt the vibration running in my chest and legs. 3 pm was also a good time. Felt better than after my regular afternoon nap. Putting on ear plugs really made sound reception very clear. A.Y. Hawaii
It was a great meditation I got the chills a few times and felt very connected. Please do put me on the list it was a very special sound bath & experience. K.B. NY
In the beginning, I watched the video as I was curious to see how you worked with the crystal bowls to create soothing sounds.Soon I found myself pulled into a peaceful and mindful state of being; my eyes started to close. I became so relaxed and went into deep sleep for awhile. Your meditation coupled with the crystal bowl sounds of varying frequencies was so soothing.Thank you so much for this moving experience. J.M. Hawaii
🕉️Yoga Nidra Please send me the recording when you have it ready. I really enjoyed that! S.U. NYC
🛌🏻PJ Yoga Nidra Thank you so much for hosting! That is exactly what we needed at this time. The first music you were playing was soooo relaxing. Let me know when you are going to do another one because I have a lot of friends that would be interested in joining. P.M. Hawaii
It was good. I definitely was in and out of sleep. J. fell asleep as soon as you got to the right side of the body! Then he woke up again. Think you said something about a fish and I heard a fish jumping in water-it was weird, and then I fell asleep. ha ha... My mind wandered a little bit but got back on track. M.N. WA
Thank you so much again. I was in a comfortable zone there. Thank you. I.F. NYC
Thank you Joelle. It was an amazing experience for me. L.C.M. NYC
Thank you, Joelle. That was so wonderful. S.K. Hawaii
K and I enjoyed PJ Yoga and would like to attend again. We liked the story of how Yoga Nidra started. K.H. Hawaii
The ocean waves gently rocking and lifting me to the stars was inspiring. Your meditation on filling our hearts with happy things was so powerful. Also, the song at the end was very moving and touching; it brought tears to my eyes. J.M. Hawaii
Omg, it was really good if you want to relax and go to bed. Think I was in the zone a few times and passed out. Y.S. California
Thank you. So relaxed. F.S. Hawaii
