Students’ Testimonials:

“Mitch is sensitive in helping individuals who may have an existing source of strain or injury avoid anything that might be painful. Mitch has a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and of the traditional non-Western chakras, yoga, qigong movements. But what is most important is his personal presence. He radiates caring; he uses easy humor and rhymes and sometimes shares anecdotes from his rich life dating back to his work in the Peace Corps. He occasionally shares glimpses of his current activities for peace at every level. Mitch has made the transition to lead groups from his home through Zoom. I leave his class feeling relaxed and energized. I have recommended his classes friends who have thanked me.” (Marc Pilisuk P, PhD)

“These classes were an essential part of my recovery from a stroke. They are physically, emotionally, and mentally stimulating. Part of this comes from his many years of yoga, qigong, and studies of neurological science. And he has a caring and calming nature. Finally, he is great at adding or modifying routines to help with particular body issues.” (Sandra W)

“This class is a revelation. It provides movement exercises that can be done sitting, standing, or both. I have been practicing many of them between classes, especially on days when I need to sit at my computer for hours. I am especially impressed with how mindful breathing can connect all of the movements.
Mitchell is an excellent teacher who draws upon his rich background in Yoga and the Chinese martial arts. His user-friendly instruction is combined with an inviting presentation and the occasional use of percussion instruments. The latter serve as exclamation points that anchor the demonstrations.” (Stanley Krippner, PhD)

"Gentle movement which deeply urges our bodies toward ongoing health and joy. Mitch draws from Yoga, Qigong, and Taiji... He also offers a lovely caring spirit. The movement is interspersed with sound healing (as in humming) and relaxation to music. We can fly far, while finding our deeper selves." (Ruth Richards, PhD)

"I started attending Mitch's class a couple of years ago and immediately felt the physical benefits. The surprise benefit, however, counts equally. It's the benefit of Mitch. He's a master teacher, and he shares every ounce of his knowledge with his class. His students' well-being is his highest concern and he creates a very real sense of community....which is felt even 3000 miles away via Zoom." (Noreen Lovoi)

 "This class is so wonderful on several levels. It is beneficial in that it is well-paced both in explanation and tempo, comfortable that each person is assured that is more than OK to go at one’s own pace, and stellar in the way Mitch illustrates the breathing is the best!" (Maxine Weseley)

"It is a form of exercise coordinating deep breathing with gentle movements of the body to lubricate the joints and lightly stretch the muscles and tissues. It can be very beneficial for people with chronic issues and/or those who have had knee/hip replacements. It is also good for someone new to this kind of exercise. Mitch is an excellent instructor, demonstrating the movements while describing them verbally in great detail. His spirit is lighthearted, encouraging and friendly. He also makes accommodations and modifications to the movements, as well as challenging those who are able to do more.  His goal is to offer beneficial movements without causing the students any pain. " (Judi Dineen)

"I was so happy (and relieved) when a friend suggested I check out Mitch's gentle classes. It's the first time in over 20 years when I didn't end up hurting myself in exercise classes at some point. Mitch is always telling us to only go as far as seems safe...I am both calmed and energized in his classes, finding it easier to flow, connect and center more. I would recommend Mitch's classes to anyone of any age; I feel I'm rediscovering how to move gracefully." (Eliza Shefler)
