Unexpected Path I am…read morenot one to post testimonials online. This was my first time visiting Taos on vacation and my only plans were to get some skiing/snowboarding in. I have been having issues for the few years with neck and back pain, along with tension headaches. I attributed my issues to a combination of spending to much time at my computer, poor posture and high stress levels. I have tried everything from doctors, chiropractors, acupuncture, massage, inversion table and I even started taking yoga classes a couple of years ago at a local studio. All of these would help a little but, just not like I needed. I found Taos Yoga Therapy with Monique Parker online. What interested me was a class she offers called "Yoga Therapy for Back, Neck and Shoulders". This sounded exactly like what I needed. After attending several group classes as well as a couple of private lessons from Monique I feel compelled to share my experience. I was nervous for the first class. I wasn't sure what Svastha Yoga was and how it would differ to the yoga classes I had attended. Monique is an amazing teacher and from the minute I stepped into the studio I felt welcomed and comfortable. I would recommend showing up early because the classes filled up fast. I have never included chanting as part of a yoga class and wasn't sure if I would like it. I found it surprisingly peaceful and now I can't imagine practicing yoga without it. The poses we did in the class are simpler but more effective then what I have practiced in the past. My prior experience with Yoga had never completely made sense to me. Some of the poses and the movements felt good but, I couldn't get my thoughts focused. I obsessed over whether I was doing the poses correctly or thought about what was going on that day. Monique's teaching of Svastha yoga helped me get to a place where I could finally quiet my mind. Everyone has different needs. I would highly recommend private sessions for anyone from a beginner like myself to someone who has practiced yoga for years. I believe Monique can help improve your practice. In my private sessions, we began with working on my breathing. I did not realize I had been doing it incorrectly. After one session I immediately felt the difference. The corrections to my breathing gave me sensation similar to a caffeine rush, but better. Monique also put together a simple asana and mantra practice for me to do everyday. The poses she gave me to were tailored for my specific needs and the amount of time I was willing to commit to practicing daily. This has been life changing!!! I start everyday with my practice. It' clears my mind and I feel ready for anything. In just the first 3 weeks, my neck and back pain went away. Nothing else I have ever done has worked for more then a couple days. More then anything the practice has helped me to control my stress. My blood pressure has gone down to the point I may no longer need medication. My mind is clearer and I feel more productive. I don't want to make this sound like it's some kind of magic pill. It's not. You must have an open mind and be willing to make changes. You must also put time and effort into your practice. If you are ready to make these changes, I can't imagine a better place to start then visiting Taos Yoga Therapy. What you gain might truly be priceless.
