At first, I was a little skeptical that a program focused on breathing – which seems so simple! – could have a deep impact on my thinking and emotions.  Within a couple weeks of starting the program, I noticed that I was able to connect more deeply to my body and my sense of self, which gave me a greater sense of peace and well-being. 

Doing so also gave me a fuller connection to my emotions and particularly my emotional needs – what I most appreciated from others and what I was most lacking.   I then communicated some of these insights to loved ones from whom I had felt disconnected for a long time.  I did not even believe it would be possible to restore a deep connection with them.  But, to my surprise, they showed respect for my emotional needs, acknowledged how they had not been meeting them, and began visibly showing their appreciation for me.  I, in turn, became more understanding and compassionate towards the difficulties they faced.  

While I know that it is an ongoing journey, it has been a gratifying experience and I appreciate the tools this program gave me to reconnect, restore, and resolve, both with myself and others.  Above all, I recommend this program because it is a unique blend of practices and tools, based on Bindu’s training and life experiences, but it is also tried and true and accessible to all – I believe that no matter what reasons bring you to the program, you will benefit if you engage with it.

During my years of taking classes with Bindu I learned how to watch and deepen my breath.  I was a guidance counselor at Columbine High School at the time of the shooting in 1999.  After the shooting, I applied what I had learned from Bindu about how to use the breath and taught it to the traumatized students who came to me. It was highly effective in helping us move through the after effects of this tragic event.

Bindu has a special gift when it comes to yoga, inner presence, and breath. She is able to hold presence, guide, and bring heightened awareness to each of my yoga and inner presence sessions with her. She has over 30 years of experience that really pulls everything together. I am grateful for her nurturing guidance. I had the great honor to be one of the first people to go through her new program “Reclaim Your Power”. This program is one of best programs around. If you are looking to reclaim your power this is it! It has made a big difference in my life. I pay much more attention to my breathe, especially when I am stressed. When I apply the breathe, relax, feel, watch, and allow techniques when uncomfortable feelings come up, they just seem to melt away. It takes effort to learn but it’s well worth the journey. I look forward to more programs and instruction from Bindu.
