I didn’t know what to expect when I started yoga classes. I am happy to say that my experiences with Lalita at Little Mango Tree have been transformative. Lalita is sensitive to individual needs and has provided me with the guidance I need to cope with back and neck pain. My strength and flexibility have greatly improved. Meditation and breathing practices have calmed my mind and soothed my spirit. I have more stamina and aerobic capacity too. When I need to modify practices, Lalita is always ready with suggestions.
The atmosphere during instruction is warm and welcoming. We are all ages, shapes and levels of fitness. Somehow Lalita makes everyone feel successful and motivated. Informal conversations over tea after weekday classes help students bond, but it is Lalita’s open personality and her gentle humour that are at the core of these connections.
At Little Mango Tree, we explore the aspects of yoga that extend beyond the physical practices. We have been introduced to many new ideas and experiences. Each student is encouraged to be open-minded and to take with them what is relevant to their lives.
Lalita is a gifted teacher. I consider myself lucky to have studied with her and will continue to do so as long as I am able and she is willing.
