Prenatal Yoga

Your Prenatal Yoga class was a blessing for me and my baby! The breathing techniques far surpass anything offered in the hospital's birthing classes. Your teachings of focus and endurance are what fine-tuned the breath to work through the hours of labor. And the exercises helped me push the baby out in record time. I also feel that the breathing and exercises had a lot to do with the fact that my baby is so easily soothed. She's 11 months old and all I have to do to calm her is hold her close, breathe deeply, and quietly chant.

Yoga

Though inclined to skepticism about matters of the supernatural and mysticism, my wife and I are unconditional believers in the physical benefits of Yoga and in the effectiveness of my teacher, Ingrid Miles. A daily 30 minutes of practice has made it possible for me to move around with reasonable agility again in a small sailboat and even to descend into deep knee bends and come back up without a hoist or even a hand hold and I've been getting into movies at cut rates for almost as long as I can remember.

Mommy+Me Yoga

Mommy + Me Yoga was a natural progression from Prenatal Yoga for me. It was so nice to have my daughter attend a yoga class outside of the womb and see that she enjoys seeing other people, the yoga movements that incorporate her as well as the chanting. As she continues to grow it amazes me how she intuitively does yoga poses. Downward dog is still one of her favorite positions. I look forward to taking other yoga classes with her in the future!

Corporate Yoga

Ingrid Miles brings commitment, compassion, integrity and a wealth of knowledge to the yoga practice she offers. Her story that she shares of her own physical redemption is a compelling one and shines the light of possibility on the path of yoga for all of us who work to overcome physical challenges. Her enthusiasm and goodwill infuse each session. I recommend Ingrid without reservation.

Yoga for Special Needs

I am a special education teacher and I work with students who have moderate disabilities. Ingrid Miles teaches a 30-minute Yoga class weekly to my students. Yoga and Ingrid’s instruction has mad a wonderful difference in my students. Ingrid always creates a safe and comfortable space for my students to explore the possibilities that exist in their bodies. Many of my students have sensory issues and are rarely quiet and their bodies still. Ingrid helps them work out their excess energy and stress, so they can truly relax and be still. Other students have issues with self-esteem and Ingrid has helped them visualize and present themselves in a more positive and self-assured light. When asked what they like best about yoga, one student responded, “Because it makes me happy.” I can’t thank Ingrid enough for all that she has done for my students and me.”
