Words of Gratitude

I thought I knew what yoga was but on my first day of yoga with Malissa I realized I had so much to learn. After my first class, I remember making a conscious decision:
I could either not go back or continue to go and work at my own pace. I am so glad I decided to continue with yoga because I am so much more flexible and stronger than I was when I started. The biggest revelation to me about yoga was when I realized that yoga is a journey. It is not something that you just can or can’t do. -Chery K.

I have practiced with Warriors in Motion Yoga for the past four years and through her encouragement and expertise have become stronger and more centered than I have ever been in my 54 years... My favorite aspect of Malissa though is her spirit of adventure. From hosting yoga after a beautiful hike, or a peaceful backyard summer solstice practice, to watching her guide a tentative student into their very first handstand! In short, she always thinks of her students first and how she can get them to find inner courage to go places they never imagined. -Nancy S.

With her knowledge of how to move from one asana to the next, the human anatomy, & yoga philosophy, Malissa knows how to bring out the best in all of her students. Every time you take one of Malissa's classes, workshops, or trainings, your mind, body, and spirit will be better connected. -Russell T.

Malissa is a lovely, vivacious, caring individual who lives the principles of the yogic tradition every day. As a teacher, she is relaxed, capable, clear and easy to follow. She provides a high degree of personal attention, whether in the form of adjustments, adaptations or simply encouragement. I have taken a variety of classes with Warriors in Motion Yoga over a span of several years in several settings, and have never had an experience that was anything less than outstanding. -Gretchen F.

I have had the privilege of practicing, training, working, and mentoring with Warriors in Motion Yoga over the past several years. From a student perspective, Malissa's depth of knowledge and commitment to her students makes her an exceptional teacher. As a mentor, she has been an invaluable guide on my path to becoming a yoga teacher. She is compassionate, motivating, and dedicated to helping me achieve my goals. -Laurel C.

Malissa has always been able to match the sequence to her students catering to those advanced yogis yet modifying for the less experienced student. She definitively teaches a power packed class for all levels to enjoy! ... Malissa is always well prepared for class and has personally mastered a depth of understanding of the material she is working with...Malissa is fun, loving, caring, humorous, light hearted, sincere, honest, timely, and responsible and I could go on and on! She will be in invaluable asset to any yoga studio or practice. -Hallie R.

Malissa has been superb, by offering alternative positions, to release some of my pain, which seemingly has helped with the daily irritations in my legs! Each week is different, where we target a different location on our body; adding cardio, strength building, tension release, etc. -Jessika and The Integrity Locums Team

Malissa is a positive and encouraging instructor who manages to always give an excellent workout each class, yet keeps it different and fun. The fact that she offers modifications throughout the class is much appreciated for a novice yogi such as myself! -Debbie S.

Malissa is a great teacher! After many years of an off-and-on personal practice, I began taking classes with Warriors in Motion Yoga. As a result of Malissa's encouragement, instruction, and insight, I now have a strong and regular practice. Namaste! -Tom D.

Malissa is so good at helping me! She helps me do all sorts of poses. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! -Sammi S.
