Red Elephant Yoga Testimonals

One of the highlights of my week is my yoga class with Charlotte. Yoga has helped me to increase strength and flexibility in my body but more importantly, it has helped to give me a calm peacefulness that has improved my life so very much. Charlotte is a truly gifted and talented yoga teacher and I am thankful everyday that she's brought yoga and all it's many benefits into my life!

My back has returned to normal, and it feels so good not to have pain!  What a relief.  I really need to build my core muscles back up after the baby. Another incentive to do some yoga every day. Thanks again, Charlotte.

When I turned 50 years of age,I became concerned about my health. I had done some yoga with video tapes but I was interested in trying a class. It has been a year since I started the class with Charlotte. It has helped me to relax and develope strength and flexibilty. We are fortunate to have Charlotte in Fuquay to teach yoga.

Red Elephant Yoga is growing and I could not be happier. After four years of study with Charlotte in the evening class, I welcomed the opportunity to join a mid-day class with Angie Kimbel. What a lovely way to refresh and renew oneself. Out of the daily hubbub and into a place where I can relax and release my muscles from everyday tensions. I leave the class calmer and ready to tackle the rest of the day. Angie has thoughtful concern for each student's well being and knack for finding where you need to focus to make the pose a little deeper, a little easier.
Angie is a wonderful addition to the Red Elephant Yoga staff and I look forward to many more opportunities to study with her.

Charlotte, I can never put into words how much you have influenced my life. You are such a kind and wonderful person and I can't find the words to express it properly. I started Yoga classes with you while I was planning my wedding. It was a crazy time for me, but you were always there to relax and refocus me. I felt safe with you and knew I could truly let go and give into the process. I could feel that you honestly cared for me and my well being. You are an amazing teacher and have a truly beautiful soul. Whether you know it or not, you share a part of yourself and spirit during each session. I was only a student for about 3 - 4 months, but I feel like I have known you all my life and a part of you is still with me every time I use a pose or need to meditate. You will always be my yoga instructor - the person I look to and think of. You taught me the basics and they are still with me today. Namaste

I had been going to your classes for about 3 months and even though I was a beginner, I learned so much about breathing, relaxing and focusing on the present. These things came in very handy shortly after the new year. I had minor outpatient surgery in January 2002, and while I was home recovering, I had a pulmonary embolism. I had started to panic when I remembered what you had taught us about focusing on the breath. It immediately calmed me down and I believe helped save my life. Because I was so calm I was able to tell the paramedics exactly what was going on and they in turn knew what to do for me. I tell everyone I know how yoga helped save my life and it is a true testament of your teaching techniques. Thank you again for giving me those tools! NAMASTE

I have had the great joy of knowing Angie for several years. I am delighted that she has chosen to take the journey to become a yoga teacher. She has a kind and gentle spirit with a real gift for leading and teaching her students about the joys of yoga. She is already a wonderful teacher and I know she will only get better as she continues her studies and training. Namaste, Angie!

I started taking yoga classes with Charlotte shortly before I became pregnant. I continued attending my regular yoga class through out my pregnancy and Charlotte worked with me when the poses weren't suitable for my condition. The techniques, specifically focusing on breath, came in handy during delivery. Charlotte is a wonderful teacher, very caring and supportive.

Charlotte is an extraordinary yoga teacher! Every class she teaches is unique, targeting different parts of the body and the differing needs of her students. Her calm and caring presence adds an additional dimension to her teaching style. I've taken yoga classes with Charlotte for almost 4 years, and I always leave feeling better in body and spirit.

Charlotte, It is my pleasure to give a testimonial about such a wonderful and caring teacher. Your style of yoga is important and beneficial to me and I hope to continue to be with you for a very long time. I thank you for the past 4 years and am looking forward to many more.
