• I can honestly say that my life will forever be changed for the better because of my experience with you. The training and personal effort were life changing, but most of all, I it was your guidance. You have enhanced my practice, enriched my spirituality. I am eternally grateful to you. Marianne, thank you for teaching me, for sharing your wisdom, and giving me someone to look up to as I proceed down my own path. ~ Alicea A

• I really wanted to write you and let you know just how much I appreciated the training with you and how glad I am that I chose the happy yoga training and not any other one. I learned so much! My classes are different now, I have every student use props all throughout the class, every class. And I adjust, and adjust, and adjust. Even giving little massages in the end, something I was always a little afraid to do before, and now every other class people ask me how long I've been practicing reiki. Even my type A surfing students realize that props aren't there to help us because we are not good enough, but to "perfect" the pose and make us even better yogis. Classes are going so great! Every morning I have around 10 students, since we "yoga'd" up the hotel we are getting more and more people here that come for the yoga only. I know now how to teach a class to half retiree resort people and half young surfer people without freaking out, so that's good. For all of this, thank you. ~ Rachel B

•  I wish I could have told you sooner how grateful I am you were my teacher. It took me a while to be open to the many "nuggets" you dropped at training, but, almost a year later, boy have those "aha" moments come around! :) Your teachings always come up spontaneously in my yoga journey, and still reveal new things. Thank you for all your wisdom. xx ~ Rhiannon H

• Just wanted to tell you how important you still are every day in my life. You're part of my thoughts, my conversations, my best memories...You inspire me each day and I thank you for that! ~ Emilie M.
