Yoga in Urbana

“Many years ago an Iyengar yoga teacher told me that I could use my practice when life became difficult. I had no idea what she meant. Most recently I had two loses in my life of people who were close to me within hours of each other. While I have supportive family, friends and community, I could not wait to be on my yoga mat and take classes with Becky Meline and Lois Steinberg. I have never met either of these two teachers in person. I live out of state so my classes are online only. It did not matter to me. Lois and Becky are a gift to Iyengar yoga. Their teachings are honest, thoughtful, kind, wise and they teach with integrity. As I practiced I could focus on my body and breath to heal my mind and soul. One doesn’t have to experience sadness to appreciate their teachings. Most of the time I feel joyful and at peace during and after class. Through the Iyengar method Becky and Lois have helped me to be compassionate with myself. I bring that compassion to the world around me. Consistent practice is magic. I encourage everyone to try a class. Sheri Katz-plotkin Ph.D.“

“I’ve been seeing Mary for ashiatsu massage for over 5 years. As a student I have really bad neck and back pain. Mary is incredibly skilled at pinpointing the blockages/knots and working through them. After just a few sessions I saw a huge difference and since leaving Urbana I have yet to find a massage therapist as talented and kind as her. She books up quickly so I would recommend having reoccurring sessions on the cal :)“
