"I had always been active, running and working out, but had bouts of debilitating back pain. My doctor had told me, 'The jelly's come out of the doughnut, ' referring to my discs, and recommended spinal surgery, which I declined. Though I had been skeptical, I was now more open to yoga, so I began doing stretches that Unyong recommended each morning and now feel fine, even lifting heavy things. I'm happy to have been able to avoid going under the knife." -Professor Paul Almeida, Senior Associate Dean, Georgetown University, McDonough School of Business

"You've helped me so much, the more people are exposed to you, the better the world will be. My husband says I'm a lot nicer."
-Julie Freeman-Moore, mother of four, spouse of Army Major with multiple deployments.

"I've been doing a lot of that breathing stuff at work, and I had my lowest blood pressure in 20 years, 120/70." -Robert Lee, DC lawyer

"Once I started my daily yoga practice major health benefits followed. Migraine attacks became less frequent and if a migraine attack started to occur ujjayi breathing would sometimes stop the attack."
-Justy Holt, ice-hockey player

Stress Burner Yoga Results:

"Hillary inspires me to make Yoga part of my everyday living – she’s a wonderful instructor! She encourages us to “own” the stretches, breathing techniques, poses, and meditations she introduces in class and weave them into our daily routine. Whether I’m at work, in a meeting, driving in traffic or on metro, waiting in line – any situation is de-stressed and improved with a little yoga. I have been happier and healthier since I started the Stress Burner Yoga practice!
-–Julie Bruns, Project Manager

"The way you teach yoga is so simple yet it has such a HUGE impact upon our lives! I love the way you refer to it as taking it off the mat. I now understand that it's not about showing up for 1 hour a week to be mindful of my body and mind, but it's all about a life skill to be more open and accepting of my life and the events in it."
