“I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for you and your teachings. You gave me great tools and a profound appreciation for yoga and body awareness. Every teacher I have had since, I compare to you. You are extremely talented and I am so grateful I started my practice with you. ”
“I met Dorie when she taught my yoga class. I was immediately impressed with Dorie’s warm, clear, accepting teaching style. She created a real sense of community even in a large class in a huge space and was always available and encouraging if I (or anyone) had questions or needed assistance. When I was struggling with chronic hip pain, I began working with Dorie individually. With Dorie I learned how my lifelong scoliosis directly affected my hip movement and we began working on my alignment. Always encouraging and brimming with new ideas, Dorie helped me gain new body awareness that shifted essential aspects of my walk and my posture.
Eventually I needed a hip replacement due to years of wear and tear, however the work with Dorie on my alignment resulted in a phenomenal recovery. I’ve been treated for scoliosis by various physical therapists for years. More than any other experience, Dorie’s work built my confidence, awareness and connection to my body and helped me internalize and shift my alignment ‘from the inside,’ creating a significant, lasting impact on my posture, alignment and mobility. I am so grateful to Dorie for her support - and - I feel empowered and able to keep the changes going on my own! ”
