“As a young girl I had scoliosis, but it was never diagnosed and went undetected until I was in my 30s. That's when serious back pain began in the form of spasms that would last as long as two weeks. Since I have been taking Hallie’s classes, I have stopped having those pains. The re-alignment of my body and the physical strength, the breathing techniques and yoga mental awareness I now have is the reason I am able to stay pain free. Not only do I feel in good physical shape, including lowering my blood pressure through the mind-body practices, but mentally, I know I am better able to deal with the ups and downs of life, such as my husband’s life-threatening medical diagnosis, thanks to Hallie’s pilates and yoga classes.”
