Testimonials
"I attended almost every class that Rebecca taught at the Monterey Yoga
Shala from February until July 2011. Her inspiring teaching style,
extensive knowledge of yoga postures, her positive and encouraging
attitude contributed to classes being fun, challenging, dynamic and
suitable for all levels of yoga students. I improved in strength and
flexibility, alignment and balance and learned to breathe properly
during practice. You only need to come to her class and from that point on Rebecca will spread her yoga magic over you."

"Rebecca awakened an appreciation of yoga flow in me that has been
dormant for many years. I found her precise instruction and wisdom to be
priceless in guiding me through challenging sequences of asana that
have intimidated me in the past. She helped me to modify poses to suit
my needs and encouraged me to follow my own intuition and pace. I
enjoyed her classes as well as her delightful presence and sense of
humor. Studying with Rebecca, if only for a few months, has had a
tremendous impact on my yoga practice."
Pamela, Monterey, CA
"I had the pleasure of taking Rebecca’s
Vinyasa Yoga classes and can say that they are fabulous. Rebecca has a unique
style of teaching that makes yoga available to beginners while keeping
practiced individuals challenged as well. She blends traditional yogi concepts
with simple, easy-to-follow instructions and perfectly sequenced routines. Her
classes are fun, invigorating, and kick some serious butt! Rebecca is a
remarkably intelligent and inspiring teacher, definitely one of the top instructors
in her field. Learning with her is a true blessing!
Willow, Monterey, CA
"We have been working with Rebecca on yoga and realignment exercises for
posture and have noticed real improvement in a relatively short period
of time. Practicing with Rebecca has been time efficient, effective and
convenient. She is knowledgeable, professional, positive and helpful,
and we highly recommend working with her either via classes or
individual lessons. Rebecca’s knowledge of muscle anatomy and physiology
and many yoga postures helped us become stronger and more flexible."

"My wife and I first met Rebecca while she was a fellow student in our advanced Ashtanga class in San Diego. After watching her practice, it was obvious that she was no stranger to yoga. Upon learning she was a yoga instructor, we managed to talk her into teaching a class that had recently lost its teacher. Selfish reasons - but, let me tell you, did it pay off! Rebecca is not only a first-class instructor, but a wonderful person as well, and it was our pleasure to practice and learn with her over the next two years."
Mike and Heather, San Diego, CA
"Rebecca has taught me so much about my body through yoga therapy sessions and group classes. Once I found her as a teacher she transformed how I practiced and inspired me to explore greater education in the science of yoga. She is a huge inspiration in my life, seriously. I feel incredibly blessed to have been able to learn from her. I highly recommend getting to know Rebecca; she is super cool, passionate, ridiculously knowledgeable, talented and beautifully kind. I am bummed she is not in my neighborhood anymore... PLEASE be good to yourself and have a session!"
"Call it great karma that I met Rebecca when I reached age 77, badly in need of bodily overhaul. She is a perfect combination of strength, gentleness, professional skills, challenge,patience, and superb coaching. All these talents helped me find renewal and vitality. I figure I'm OK for at least two more decades."
Dennis, San Diego, CA
"I hope you will
keep in touch on your travels. I finished my teacher training
at LaJolla Y.C. and am now doing my teaching. I am so excited to get
started. I will always be
grateful to you, you were the teacher who inspired me to teach!"
Lisa, Coronado, CA
"Rebecca is one of the most intelligent and athletic women I know. She interlaces her knowledge and her ability to care for those she teaches and practices with, which is truly a gift. Her ability to apply her knowledge and her heart, truly does change people."

"I am the City of Pensacola's staff attorney and police legal advisor. Last summer, I was 62, overweight and woefully out of shape. Friends talked me into trying Rebecca's new yoga class after hours at the police department. I and my coworkers were immediately hooked. Her amazing skill at yoga, her gentle teaching style and her magnetic sense of humor created our little class of yoga devotees. Now, I am 63, much less overweight, flexible and balanced beyond my imagination of a year ago, and we miss her terribly. When she left Pensacola to join her wonderful husband, Josh, she handed us off to a local yoga center and, for myself, it has become a way of life I do not expect to change. It has made me reflect that one of life's ironies is that we are usually unaware of having met someone who changes us indelibly until after they have gone."
Rusty, Pensacola, FL
"I practiced yoga for the first time with Rebecca in March 2007. I was 52 years old and very skeptical on what I would be able to do. I was having a hard time being dedicated to any type of exercise until Rebecca talked me into trying yoga. After the very first session with her I was hooked. I actually found something that I truly enjoyed. A work out that makes you feel great with more energy than when you started. Rebecca’s ability as an instructor and her dedication truly shows through to her students."
Dixie, Pensacola, FL
"Rebecca is a wonderful yoga teacher. She has a high degree of knowledge about yoga theory and anatomy that she uses in her classes, but best of all she makes the class fun and challenging. At times you feel pushed to your limit yet always feel safe doing it. One time I came to class with my back hurting from a minor injury and I walked out feeling 100% better. No back pain! I couldn't believe it."
