What Students Say
"You are a great teacher, able to explain just what we need to hear and encouraging ... So your patience is very much appreciated. You also have good skill at knowing how long to stay on certain exercises or moves and how to move the class along fast enough without overwhelming us.
I know I am much more motivated to learn than I thought I would be and I'll bet lots of other ladies would probably say the same. I actually have a glimmer of hope I might be able to put some of these moves together in a decent fashion at some point in the future!"
--J. Wehlage
"I am inspired by your focus"
--B. A. Voeller
"I feel so fortunate to know you and you have inspired me since the day I met you. Ahem, you ARE one of Bodhicitta's influences... Alyssum Pohl as a soloist as well as a strong addition to the aMAZing Rakadu Gypsy."
