“ YogAlign has been a useful tool in keeping my body and spirit balanced. I highly recommend Michaelle Edward's YogAlign 
style of yoga with it’s emphasis on neuromuscular balancing, natural spine alignment and core breathing.”

"My shoulders used to be chronically rotated forward and I suffered pain and frequent injuries. With YogAlign, I learned to shift my paddling techniques when surfing and my shoulders are now aligned in all my activities. I know how to keep my body aligned whether surfing, practicing bodywork, or hiking the trails on Kauai. I am now teaching YogAlign and my clients are all experiencing the same effects."

“Since Victorians walked around with books on their heads, good ‘carriage’ or good posture has fallen out of favor. But that doesn’t mean it has fallen out of importance: it is the place from which we move. ‘Acture’ ( a better word for it - posture in action) needs to be reinterpreted anew for an electronic generation. YogAlign bases it's                          system on sound principles, with practical and 
useful exercises and awarnesses. Michaelle Edward's YogAlign is not only a very useful method for all people, Yoga teachers, but as well as a good adjunct tool for bodyworkers and physical therapists.”

"I had a private YogAlign session with Katerina the other day and it was amaaaazing! Her energy is both inspiring and healing. Not only did I learn a ton of new information, but I actually felt a huge difference in my body- after just 1 session! After working with her I felt calm, relaxed, peaceful and light. I can't wait until my next session. If you have the opportunity- go see her!!"

"After working with Katerina just a few times, I feel amazing! Her intimate knowledge of the mechanics of the human body helped me to feel safe as I learned new poses and modified those I already know. Katerina is completely supportive and encourages her clients with amazing, positive energy. YogAlign protects the integrity of the spine and pelvis, which is important to me because mine was broken in a car accident years ago. This is the best physical therapy I could have invested in and to work with someone as caring and gifted as Katerina made my experience that much more special. Thank you Katerina for changing my life!"

"Working with Katerina changed my life! I've always slouched and had frequent back pain. After just three two-hour sessions there was a noticeable difference in my posture. People actually asked if I'd grown taller! She taught me how to stand properly and how to properly stretch and exercise to strengthen my body without harming it. I'd highly recommend Katerina and YogAlign for anyone wanting to make a positive change in their health and posture. I can't wait to go back again!"

“Katerina has a remarkable consciousness and awareness of the body and movement. A physical intuition and connectedness, that makes her a natural teacher and trainer. She intrinsically understands a body's need for balance. Her guidance is invaluable. Katerina adapts to anyone's needs, regardless of their range of motion or fitness level, thus hrough clear goals, Katerina (gently) guides each client to find the equilibrium within.”

"Taking YogAlign with Katerina completely shifted the way I like to stretch and move my body. These techniques have helped me to shape and mold my body into one that is more lean and graceful. I even love to apply these simple and effective adjustments to some of my monotonous daily routines like washing the dishes or watching tv, transforming even the most boring and mundane of tasks into healing nourishment for my body. I'm so grateful to Katerina for giving me a solid foundation for all of my other body movement and training interests like yoga and dance. It's made me so much stronger.  I'd recommend her to anyone at any level of fitness, because her techniques are so streamlined and variable."

"Katerina offers fantastic sessions, really knows what she is talking about and shows genuine interest in your well-being. Much more intuitive and natural than the myriads of other methods out there, YogAlign focuses on exercises that realign the spine and fix your posture while engaging in proper breathing techniques. I was amazed to see how quickly my body and mind felt a difference. You'll leave each session on Cloud 9, feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on anything life throws at you. I can only recommend Katerina and her wonderful, dedicated sessions!"

"As a former yoga instructor and dancer, I was impressed by Katerina's authentic enthusiasm and attention to details that matter.   I feel benefits immediately in applying what I learned just yesterday at my first session.  The work is subtle and powerful, so I recognize the value in signing up for a series, and I look forward to more sessions."
Barry Klein
"Taking YogAlign sessions with Katerina was incredible.  I had minimal previous experience with any kind of yoga, aside from one horrible session with Bickrams hot yoga when I did not know what I was getting myself into, so I was nervous to try it again.  But a friend told me about YogAlign, and how it was a body-friendly form of yoga that would help with my painful back problems. The class had all kinds of students, from the highly experienced down to me, the absolute beginner.  I was sure I would stand out as the one who didn't know how to do anything.  But Katerina worked with me to get me comfortable with it right away, and she took a lot of time to learn what I needed and where to focus. 
To my pleasant surprise, I learned that YogAlign actually felt good to practice!  I was scared there would be difficult and painful poses or exercises I could not achieve.  There were things I could not do as well as some other students, but they were not painful.  Katerina helped me adjust the exercises so they best fit my needs and abilities. Breathing right, stretching, good posture, and constant, simple awareness of myself and my movements as I go through life; these are the main things I took from the classes.  I feel stronger, I have less daily pain (which, living with degenerative scoliosis, is a huge difference from the past), and if I do have bad pain days, I can alleviate a lot of it just by doing what I learned at YogAlign.  Thank you Katerina!"
