I wanted to send feedback on the wonderful experience I had with Carer Siegel during my four one on one yoga sessions.

A year prior to seeing Carter I had major abdominal surgery which ultimately weakened my core muscles and lead to chronic back pain. I had injections and physical therapy which helped significantly, but I felt I needed something more. I decided to work with Carter on yoga postures to strengthen my core. Much of what happened with each session was relinquishing fear; quieting the stiffness and gaining confidence in my movements which ultimately made me feel stronger.

I am able to manage my discomforts by thought process and connection to what my body is asking for. It is amazing to realize that by engaging certain muscles and breathing deeply I can relieve my painful back.

The awareness and focus in my breathing and movements keeps me more safely grounded when I am doing things. I worked in my yard all day Saturday and felt stronger than I had in a long time. It was a powerful experience.
