Dear Erich,

I took your class for the first time yesterday at Exhale, and had an incredible experience. During our first meditation (with the eyes open) I was able to see the auras of the other students around me. This has never happened to me before. Your discussion, and teachings are resonating within me and instead of fading with the day have only grown stronger.

Thank you for the beautiful experience. Although I am not sure where it may lead, I believe that yesterday’s class opened a new door for me.

Erich Schiffmann’s classes are by far my favorite. There is something about being in the presence of an Awakened One that makes me love myself more. His dharma talks are inspiring, his sequencing intelligent, music selection groovy, and the space to do our own thing? EMPOWERING!!!! The most humble guru ever. His love is POWERFUL and PALPABLE and I feel blessed to take class with him every week!! Xxxoo♥

Hi Erich,

Blitz away…I am looking forward to your return to the Santa Barbara Yoga Center for the Yoga Intensive this winter….I will be there.

Technology is a blessing as I feel no distance between you, the teaching and me. How happy I am to be learning and growing into realizing that BIG Mind is much bigger than I thought.

Thank you for being you and leading a delight way into the wave…it is getting more wavy all the time.

Pranams,

Of all the books written on Yoga, Erich Schiffmann’s book Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness most clearly captures the process of Yoga asana practice as a discipline that combines infinite softness and self-awareness with dynamic strength and flow. It is a “must read” for anyone who wants to move beyond the athleticism of many contemporary Yoga practices and into the possibility of using that ancient discipline as a tool for self-liberation.

Back from Yogaville with even more realization of the importance of recognizing the light in others as part of seeing ourselves in everyone. This feels like acceptance, graciousness, and love in practice.

Thank you, Erich Schiffmann, for being the guru of my heart and leading me to believe what I already knew, that only love matters. I love you. ♥

Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness remains one of my most favorite dog-eared books and will always be a must recommended read for our Yoga Kids Teachers and Trainers.

I have always admired your gentleness, integrity and heart and all the years of great teaching in LA and at the YJ conferences. Big smile…joy and thank you.

My advice is find the time…and $…and you will be changed beyond belief … being with erich for a training or workshop … any extended time … is like bathing yourself in LOVE … so healing … and then the healing starts to happen all around you … miracles. ..:))

Hi Erich,

I was in your class at Yogaville and loved it! I was the one who came to you at dinner time and begged you to stay longer next time. I hope that you will consider the possibility. A 10 day teacher training would be exactly what would satisfy most of us. Thank you for an amazing experience and I hope to see you soon.
Gratefully,

My dear,

Thank you for introducing me to Erich and for suggesting that I take the workshop. I really had a lovely time, met some very nice people. I had a great time, will do the poses/stretches that I remembered to write down, and, yes, I really, really liked Erich. A lot. I see now what you’ve been trying to say about him all those years.

And, I’m gonna work really hard to convince the other Ogden Palace residents that we need a hot tub, so I can have mornings like Erich’s.
xoxo,
from everyone here at the Ogden Palace and especially from me
