What Dream Yogis Say, Want and Need


We at Dream work very hard to help you meet your goals for health, healing and wholeness. That’s why we’re very pleased to know that 98 percent of the nearly 100 students who responded to our recent survey said they agree or strongly agree that they are HAPPY with DreamYoga Classes.  (The other 2 percent answered “Not Applicable.”)

We are most grateful to those of you who took the time to give us your feedback and suggestions. Here are some of your comments:

  • I love Dream Yoga!!
  • Thanks for creating a wonderful community!
  • Thank you for changing my life and helping me to live a more full life!!!
  • I am extremely happy with the yoga that is waiting for me each time I attend a session. Everything is very much appreciated.
  • I think it is an excellent studio - I feel better every time I walk in the door, and I think the director and the teaching staff she has chosen are treasures.
  • We had a house guest this summer who I treated to some yoga classes, and I felt so proud of the studio because he enjoyed the classes so much.
  • The products are great! I really enjoy the coconut water!!
  • I couldn't ask for more - you have it all!

Students DID have some suggestions for us, which we’ve already begun to implement. For instance:

  • Making the time between Class Sessions shorter.
  • Ensuring there’s a Beginner Class after 5 p.m.
  • Playing the Singing Bowls more.  Luann will renew her commitment to playing!
  • More morning classes.
  • Continuing the emphasis in Luann’s classes on “Yoga Practices for Stress Reduction.”
  • More yoga Flow classes.
  • Learn handstands, shoulderstands and other arm balancing.  Luann’s Saturday 9:30 a.m. Dynamic Yoga class includes inversions.

We’ll continue to implement your recommendations for making Dream even better. So please keep your suggestions coming. An easy way to do this is through the SUGGESTION BOX on Dream’s website (top right-hand corner of each page).
