Lisa Kauffman, who studied all five years with Rebecca at Union Cong, says, “Every time I unroll my mat I know that I am in for an adventure that helps me better understand and embrace how yoga relates to every aspect of my life.”
Cecilia Zalkind adds, “I have been studying yoga with Rebecca since June 2002 and it has been a transformative experience. I feel younger, healthier and more comfortable with my body. It has also been a great way to deal with stress. Rebecca is a wonderful teacher. She is sensitive to the individual needs of her students and very supportive. She developed an approach to yoga for me as an individual that enabled me to make a commitment to a stronger body and better health. Studying yoga with Rebecca transformed my life!”
Marilyn Saxe says, “Due to chronic illness I am unable to do a rigorous yoga practice, but that hasn't stopped Rebecca from finding ways to teach me true Yoga principles and help strengthen my body. She has an amazing capacity to assess individual needs and adapt a class to incorporate them while at the same time stretching my capacity to grow without becoming overwhelmed. I started Yoga in body-disconnect and over time Rebecca has gently and carefully shown me how to feel -- even in pain or sickness. She has sensitively helped teach me to "BE" and to understand that BE-ing is a constant process. Rebecca is accepting and finds different ways to make things work. She does not prescribe to rigid "one-way-only" beliefs and so has taught me to be more accepting, most notably to myself. A Yoga session with Rebecca is full of balance, peace and challenge. She has a gift for working with her student that helps to stretch body, mind and spirit. Rebecca has not only introduced me to Yoga, but re-introduced me to myself.”
