A little over a year ago, I uprooted myself from a caustic living environment as a self-preservation strategy. Obviously, I needed a change, but I was only vaguely aware of the extent of work I should expect of myself now that I was free of the source of my recurrent psychological trauma. Since I was also suffering from a painful and fairly new upper back injury, I resolved to try and address the...
Yoga Awareness is the real deal!!! Living in NYC and as a former Ashtanga practitioner, I have tried them all and was used to the “more, more, more” approach with both yoga and myself. I can wholeheartedly say that Ted and his teachings are the most authentic that I have come across. It was a true gift, that helped me to slow down, listen to myself and surrender to my breath. I was warmly...
What I've always liked about Tedd is simple; He walks his talk. He really honors, trusts and lives his practice. He believes in his students and will be with you EVERY step of the way. I am living proof!

Meeting you was inspirational for me. The minute you started your class, I knew why we decided to take a trip to Hawaii, why I chose Maui, and why I tracked down your Yoga class in Makawao. I'm a firm believer in the plans of coincidence. We were, quite simply, led there to meet you. One day, I will make it back to study in person with you. In the meantime, I will order the books you suggested...
I've been attending yoga classes 1-3 times a week for just over a year. This was the BEST summer my body has had in a long time. I was able to do gardening, sewing, house work, reading, and cooking, as well as entertain guests for 3 weeks. From day to day, my body would bounce back from activities and be ready to enjoy more activities. I thank my body everyday and I thank Yoga Awareness...
I started yoga classes with Tedd two months ago because I was constantly dealing with a sore lower back because of the lifting that I have to do at my job. After just 6 or 7 yoga classes and some heat treatments on my back, the soreness and tightness is completely gone. I can now go through my day and week without even thinking about my back. What's best though, is that my back is no longer an...
Mahalo nui loa Tedd. Thank you so much for the awareness that you bring to every moment in yoga class. I really appreciate the meditation during every asana, after each asana, the pranayama and meditation at the end of class. I love how gracefully you assist us in inquiring inside ourselves, increasing our awareness of our own bodies and souls and also of our interconnectedness. I also deeply...
Practicing yoga with Ted and Pam has helped me keep my body, especially my back, in good condition for all the time I recently spent on an airplane. I made a one-week trip to see my new grandson in Michigan, then went to Oregon the following weekend to attend my college mentor's funeral. I was on the plane for 3 weekends, and of course did my stretches and breathing as much as I could. Then the...
Dear Ted, thank you very much for your relaxing and yet very intense class. I cannot figure out how you manage to watch 4 people at the same time... because I felt almost like the same intenseness as the private class. Hearing some one else's breathing sound also helped me to move in a stable manner. I have never realized how many times I breathe every day!

Ted, today during my practice I finally found the piece that's been missing. The breath starts the movement and the breath is the movement. Thank you! Jean Muldoon
