TESTIMONIALS
"Practicing Tai Chi with Essud has changed my life! Essud is an inspiration and the best motivator that I’ve ever known. For most of my life, I never enjoyed going to the gym or exercising; and when I did exercise I could never stick to a routine. Then, fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with chronic back and neck pain. For two years I went to a chiropractor for my pain, but I never had any relief. After only three months of practicing Tai Chi with Essud, I am pain free most of the time and no longer take any pain medication. Thank you, Essud!

"I love Yoga/Tai-Chi with Essud because it has changed the way I feel about exercise, relaxation, meditation and the mind/body connection. I am not at all athletic and have always been
concerned that my lack of skills would be so painfully obvious that I could not enjoy class or
be able to learn Yoga. I love our class because it is not a competition. Essud teaches us
to use slow, fluid movements and the proper way to breathe and relax. It is wonderful. The energy in class and from Essud is just great. I have been taking classes for several months and started off
taking a weekly class. Now I am going twice weekly and looking forward to every session.
For me, that is an amazing change. I usually quit everything I sign up for that is even
remotely related to exercise. My goal is to take everything I am learning back into the outside
world so that my calmness and serenity is there in every life situation and my outlook on
challenges and joys is the best it can be. I have felt the energy in such a powerful, tangible
way that I am hooked for life!"

"I have been taking Yoga/Tai Chi classes with Essud for almost 6 months. My flexibility has greatly increased—when I started, I could not even touch my toes! Now I can touch my forehead to my knees. But more importantly, my inner strength has increased because during class we focus on feeling what is going on inside our bodies. I have begun to feel more grounded at my job during stressful times. I am also feeling much more open to new experiences and challenges because I feel that I have connected with myself (mind, body, and spirit) and trust myself more. During class, the combined practice of stretching my body and feeling my energy makes me feel more balanced and definitely more relaxed. Now that I have started my journey of self-awareness, I can see the possibilities of how much more open I can be and how much stronger my energy can be if I continue with this practice."
-Ashlee Smallwood - April, 2009
"I have practiced yoga and energetic healings since I was 10 years old and Essud is the best teacher I have come across in all my years. You feel relaxed, energized and ready to face the day after even one class!"

"Thanks Essud, after 4 classes, I can already tell better flexibility, better motion in my hips and shoulders, overall better toning. Pain and tightness in my lower back is better as well. Very entertaining and thorough sessions, a lot of fun to follow. I look forward to many more of your yoga sessions."
-Lamar Keene - July, 2008
"I'm a fan! After a private session with Essud, I was hooked. His classes - when I can get to them - are a perfect balance of fitness and fun. Essud emits a positive energy and teaches others how to capture it. Physically, I've never felt better."
