Testimonials
John Gillespie’s Empowered Yoga is a wonderful program! Not only have I increased my strength and flexibility, but through John’s encouraging teaching style I have improved my own self concept, through my new found body awareness. I have improved my equestrian skills and through John’s gentle insistence of reaching new goals, I have achieved personal goals that I never dreamed possible.

I was at a very low point in my life. My mom, my dad and my dog all died within a 15 month period. To top it all off I was also going through a bad break-up with a guy I thought I was going to marry. I was looking for something to help lift me back up. A friend dragged me into Empowered Yoga. After my first class I knew this was going to be the place to help me grow and find inner peace. That was 2 years ago and now I have gained more than I could possibly write! I have an inner peace and a firm sense of who I am. I am a better mom and friend. Practicing yoga at Empowered Yoga has helped me develop virtues like courage, patience and faith. I no longer react to my anger. I just seem to take life a lot easier. Physically my blood pressure is back to where it was in my twenties! My muscles are tone and stronger! I have an inner sense of strength and confidence. When I get done practicing at EMPOWERED YOGA I feel like I can do anything!
PS- My whole life I have been petrified of spiders. Now I am no longer scared of spiders. Just the other day I actually picked one up in my house and put him outside. I felt so strong in being able to release my fear. Living without fear feels AWESOME! THANK YOU!

I am a TOTALLY different person since beginning my yoga practice at Empowered Yoga. I am physically stronger, mentally clearer, spiritually grounded and emotionally more stable. I find myself being a more patient mother and teacher. I am more sensitive to the needs of those around me and I feel as if I am able to give more of myself without being left feeling drained. Empowered Yoga has transformed my life!
Fran Mc Nichol says:
Before yoga, I was all stressed out from my hectic lifestyle. My blood pressure was going up and my general health was going down.
Practicing yoga at Empowered Yoga not only helped me relieve the stress and health concerns but also allowed me to focus better on what was
really important in my life. As my practice has evolved, I've lost weight and feel much better about myself.
Originally what kept me going back to Empowered Yoga was how good I felt after class; those who practice yoga know what I am talking about! If I had to say just one thing, it would be that yoga has made me a happier person. I am at peace with myself and those around me. I needed clarity in my life and I thought yoga could help. My yoga practice has not only created clarity in my life yet also increased my strength, flexibility, and aerobic capacity. Shoveling snow was a breeze last winter and I can now take a good close look when doing my toenails. I consider myself lucky for finding Empowered Yoga. The space is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The teachers are knowledgeable and make everyone feel special. There are attentive and give you pats on the back when you need encouragement! They are inspiring, respectful, and funny. The music is GREAT! The community of people are so supportive and new students are constantly joining in! Practicing yoga at Empowered Yoga has had a tremendous
impact on my life! Thank You!
