“The nurse practitioner phoned with news that my bone
density HAS improved. Also, my neck is steadily improving! Thanks much for
your tutoring, care, and instruction. You sure know what you are doing!”
After trying acupuncture and
chiropractic, and still continuing to have agonizing pain from sciatica for
several months, I finally contacted Christian. Iyengar yoga completely
eliminated my pain and has allowed me to perform activities that have not
been possible for years.
Charismatic, energetic, focused, caring - Christian is
a wonderful yoga teacher.
I have been practicing
Iyengar
yoga 13 years and studied with many senior teachers; Christian ranks up with
the best. He is strong, conscientious, dedicated, compassionate, intelligent
and well-trained. I very
much enjoyed the yoga class this morning. Your extra help was phenomenal. Thank you for the attention.
Christian Leeby's knowledge, dedication
and personal attention to his students, continues to keep me dedicated in my
own practice, and coming back to him for instruction. Since I began with
Christian, not only have I truly enjoyed practicing yoga in his classes, but
I have also become stronger, and more aware of my alignment. Most
importantly, the chronic lower back pain that I had suffered from for years,
due to ballet and having children, has completely disappeared. I give
Christian, and Iyengar yoga, 100% credit for this recovery! I always leave
Christian's classes feeling better, both mentally and physically, then I did
when I arrived! It's crazy, but in less
than 2 months the grip had returned to my hand, the "nagging-never-ending makes you cranky" pain in my arm was gone. Saying "I can't do that."
is no longer a part of my life. Now I continuously challenge my body and
mind with Iyengar Yoga. If you want to breathe peace instead of pain,
Christian's studio is a safe place to heal. For 20
years I suffered with the ill effects of a ruptured disk in my low back. I
tried a lot of techniques to make it better including different kinds of
Yoga, Physical Therapy, tons of swimming etc. After 17 months of faithful
Iyengar Yoga practice with Christian, my back is so much better. And yes it
is because of Iyengar Yoga, and a lot of hard work on my part, but mostly it
is because Christian is really an amazing teacher. He is committed, patient,
attentive, genuine, and just fun to have as an instructor. It is Christian
that inspires all of us Iyengar Yoga students to trust the practice and keep
on keeping on. I initially started with
yoga in order to relieve the stress gardening caused to my back as I had
seen a newspaper article about this. To my great relief, practicing Iyengar
yoga twice a week as enabled me to garden with all the bending required for
weeding, etc. with no subsequent back pain. My
performance in ultra trail running has been enhanced by practicing yoga with
Christian. I have benefited from improvements in my recovery time between
competitive events and remained injury-free. Christian's awareness of the
body and mind have helped me decrease stress, perceive relaxation and sleep
better which is so important while training. Christian is a gifted and
powerful yoga instructor with a passion for rock climbing and back country
skiing which enables him to relate to his students who enjoy outdoor
adventures. I feel fortunate to be able to take what Christian is teaching
to the trails and experience the possibilities.
The most scathing, searingly,
critical condemnation I can make about Christian Leeby is that he's a
superbly qualified teacher who will coax your mind, body, and spirit into
places they've never been before and will never want to leave again. That's
it for the negative. Otherwise, he's a great teacher.
I was nervous about coming to yoga because my knee was so
sore. It hurt a lot to walk and I felt very protective of it.
After your class, it was the first time I walked with no pain. That inspired
me so I practiced three times during the week! |
