"I felt such a renewed sense of community from class tonight, especially beneficial during this quarantine. Physically - this is a screenshot I took after I did your sacral chakra YouTube class and WOW. Just wow. My heart rate went down to 44 bpm in savasana! Your voice is superb and comes through so clearly. I also loved the long silent pauses once we settled into a pose - gave my brain time to slow. My favorite part was definitely the beginning. You have such a way of easing us into practice and planting a seed to carry throughout. Thank you so much for putting your heart into your work!"
"Thank you again so much for all of the fun energy around body awareness and breathing! I absolutely love how interactive your classes are and that you encourage the kids to connect, speak up, and even take the lead!...We create so much magic together and I just love it!"
""I always feel so refreshed after your yin class! The mindfulness and breathing exercises are my favorite, and loved the theme of the gut/brain connection. The exercises help me take a mental break and relax, slow down and turn inward. Despite the class being virtual your voice still comes across very soothing (wonderful for a yin class) & has a good cadence. I like learning which poses/postures are associated with solar plexus chakra & how they relate to/can help with physical conditions. And I liked the poem to go along with the mantra & the variations of Child's pose."
"I've been trying to step up my fitness routine lately. Evan's restorative yoga classes give me a chance to check in with my body and help settle down at the end of the day. Each time, without fail, there are at least a couple moments where the flow will open something up and Evan anticipates exactly how my body wants to move with it. It makes me want to unmute myself so she can hear what started as a surprise and has become laughter at how effective Evan is. The feelings pair well with the intention setting included in each session, to make for an expansive, reflective exercise that feels like a dialogue. I could (and do) practice yoga on my own, but joining Evan each week is really special."
"Today was absolutely phenomenal! You are gifted and so beautiful with children. I love that you keep mixing it up for each class and how highly creative you are. We love you so much and will see you again tomorrow!"
"What I "saw" in you almost immediately, in a YW yoga class, was your Spirit, a shining light in you that I felt a resonance towards. You seem to let that "light" guide your life. I think all good things stem from that part of you.
Your guidance in Asana practice alone shows a sensitivity and a teaching ability that communicates well to the student (me).
And now, with our latest commitment towards my Wellness journey, I believe in you, your knowledge and, most of all your compassion and kindness."
"That class was pure magic as always. You do such a seamless job of making us feel like we're really there with ya despite it being virtual! I teetered in delta brain wave state for most of the class :) So calm! Sometimes my mind is such a tangle, but your classes really help me center!"
"One word to describe Evan and her class: connected. Evan's connection to spirit and source is felt throughout every sequence and asana. Not only is she a wealth of nowledge about the human body and alignment withint the physical self, but she also provides a spiritual element that aligns to the soul. Her flow was challenging and creative which is something I look forward to in my practice. All infused with tons of love and heart opening practices. If you ever get a chance to take one of Evan's classes, I highly recommend it!"
"Evan is an extremely knowledgeable and beautiful teacher of the art of yoga. She leads with her heart and easily and effortlessly adapts the practice to her students. She keeps every adult and child engaged, and she touches on very important life information. She makes topics on breathing and healthy expression of emotions feel like a bedtime story. My daughter has learned so much and is paying attention to her whole body in ways she didn’t prior to meeting Evan. She encourages and uplifts!"
"Evan's approach to my continued “wellness” was personalized just for me. She always exhibited a positive attitude, no matter my negative defensiveness at the time. This persistence always opened a new door of understanding for me that I now incorporate into my everyday life. Her compassion has helped me understand my motives, to be more self compassionate during periodic changes, and resolve to return to the good and healthy self that I’ve always been “on the inside.” I’ve been able to bring myself wholly into the present with the proper and timely guidance that Evan gave me in relation to exercise, food and life!!"
"I benefited by tonight's practice by really recognizing my heart and space around it. You helped establish the right environment with your kind pacing and clear instruction of the anatomy, which is always so helpful to me, a novice in yoga asana and pranayama. I love your voice and commitment to keeping things calm in this yin class. You've been such a positive force in my life. I'm ever so grateful. You live what you preach and I respect that."
"Excellent class! I loved jumping from crow back into vinyasa. And all the jumps to the front of mat. My top moment was the balancing in down dog. I had never done that before and love testing my balance. I love that poem you read. And I think your voice and direction is lovely. "
"Thank you so so much for having me today! My body really needed to breathe and open up! And YOU are such a beautiful and magical human!!"
"The Tarot reading was so much fun! Not only that, but Evan's expertise paired with my own intuition made the whole experience very eye opening. I was able to apply the reading in a way that really resonated with the current events in my life. If you are working through a problem in your head, I highly recommend you turn to Evan for a Tarot or oracle reading!"
