"This yoga--this ashtanga--brings me to my knees. It is so powerful, moving through me, my heart, my happiness, awakening and enlivening all parts of me until I feel like a single, unified, buzzing energy system. I am so happy during practice, and it affects me, webbing out into other aspects of my life, so i am quieter and more present; softer and more content; stronger and yet more compassionate, and more aware... wow!... who knew?"
-- Jamie Morris
"I realized today that the Ashtanga class is the most difficult activity that I do all week....and I love it! I do everything possible not to miss it. There's something about the energy of you and the class that enables one to keep plugging away, and it is exhilarating… It truly is a wonderful practice on many levels."
--Cathy Darnell
"I’ve been involved with martial arts and yoga before and just
returned to Orlando after having lived in Asia, mostly Japan, for five years. It pleases me to have found a good teacher and a challenging style. Your eye for noticing individual needs and abilities of students impressed me. Also I appreciated the weekly thought at the end of class. In our society, material and superficial concerns tend to dominate so it's especially important to remember spiritual concerns."
--James Ciotti
"Ashtanga Yoga is great for gaining flexibility and strength as long as you are patient. It was six months before I noticed a difference in being more flexible and being able to get deeper into poses and I’m 54."
--Mary Bivin
"I can't explain enough how I enjoyed my first ashtanga yoga class! Your method of teaching is so fluid and clear and reassuring. I was always a little intimidated to join a class that may be much further along in the study of yoga than myself, but you made it so comfortable to a new comer! I felt no intimidation at all. I look forward to the next class... "
-- Alisa Webb
"Your yoga is very helpful and gives me a sense of wellbeing. That feeling lasts days beyond the session. My flexibility has increased and my back and entire body feels younger. Thank you!"
--Tommy Corkhill
"Ashtanga yoga is like going to church for the spiritual, going to a therapist for the psychological, and finally to the gym for the physical. I can't think of a more well rounded and productive way to spend an hour and a half."
--Manny Simoes
"The words "yoga" and "Orlando" together in whichever search engine returned several web-sites. I happened on this site and saw two pictures of Lewis. One had him on his back with his feet behind his head. The other was just a regular guy with a welcoming face and warm smile. The second picture was enough to convince me. In the months that have passed since my first class, I can assure you he can put his legs behind his head. But more importantly, I can attest that you will always feel welcome and there is always a smile."
--Craig Oberg
"I really feel a difference in everything I do... I am looser in my walk and I feel like my asthma has benefited. I always look forward to your classes."
--Amy DeYoung
"I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga with Lewis for 9 months now, and recently explored some other styles of yoga... and it was only then, that I realized how much I love the FLOW of Ashtanga. When I think about the series, I immediately envision being on a wave in the ocean ... that the wave is the breath that carries you through.
The class is a wonderful hour and a half journey.... that leaves me with the feeling of having taken a vacation from daily demands! No matter how tired I am when I arrive, without fail, I always leave class with a sense of renewal and being centered. I can't imagine not practicing yoga... it has become a necessity in my life!"
--Donna Hoffberg
"I have studied with several yoga teachers and Lewis's class is one of the most informative and safe classes I have taken. Lewis has the ability to teach all levels from Beginner (Level I) to Advanced (Level III) with each student getting a great workout. Lewis has always been available to answer questions, share information, and give modifications.
There is one problem with the classes -- there are not enough of them!! Please add daytime Level II and Level III classes."
