OM Yoga Studio & School of Thia Massage

"Anthony you're incredible! I had my first Thai massage yesterday and don't think I have ever felt more relaxed in my life. My whole body was humming, and I think I may have had an out of body experience! I am a full-time caregiver to my husband who weighs 240 lbs, so I carry a lot of stress in my neck and shoulders. I feel great today and a little taller I think. OMG!!! I feel like a new person. I can't begin to say enough..."

"When I leave your classes I always have to readjust the mirror in my car, because I sit so much taller after just an hour and a half. I have taken yoga at other studios, and I really benefit from your approach of combining yoga postures with instruction in meditation and relaxation. The classes are different each week and I never get bored. I have confidence now that I can practice on my own because your instruction is very affirming and you've helped me learn to listen to my own body. Finally, I'm acquiring tools to manage my stress, which is really important because my job is so demanding."

"I hurt my neck in a minor car accident. I was suffering from mild whiplash with reduced mobility of the left side. My medical doctor referred me to physical therapy, which reduced the pain but not the everyday stiffness and tension headaches. To complicate the injury, I carry my stress in my shoulders, which tightened the muscles that were trying to heal. When I mentioned starting yoga to my physical therapist, he encouraged me to go as a means to strengthen my back, which would take the pressure off the muscles in my neck. Anthony's classes provided so much more. I learned through postures and relaxation methods to let go of the tension in my shoulders, which enabled my neck to heal. I also learned to listen to my body and recognize what it needed, feeling the difference between the pain from a stressful day and the pain from the injury. Today my neck is fully recovered. Without the ability to relax that I learned through yoga, I know I would still be suffering from a slow, painful recovery. I've been attending yoga classes at the OM Yoga Studio for about 4 months. The classes have taught me to how to be aware of and feel balanced in my body. I recently decided to try climbing at an indoor climbing gym. At first, I was a little intimidated as I watched experienced climbers move gracefully up the walls. However, once I got on the wall, I found that I knew my body was capable of moving my foot up to a hold situated at shoulder height. I also have an awareness of my balance on the wall, knowing if I have a good handhold to make certain moves or if I need to adjust my body first. Had I tried climbing before I started yoga, my experience would have been drastically different. While yoga has strengthened my body, the understanding and acceptance of myself and my body is the greater benefit."

"I have been getting professional massages for over 25 years, and have been in physical therapy for 18 years for an arthritic neck. The best therapy I have ever had for both for my neck and my whole body, without question, has been Anthony Conard's Thai Yoga Massage. The man is a master of stretching what seems like every muscle in my body to a point of total relaxation. I have recommend him to everyone I know. "

"I have studied and received many healing arts including yoga, massage, acupressure, chi gong, healing touch therapy etc. The healing and release I received from my session with Anthony reflects his skill, presence, sensitivity, dedication, and intuition as a healer. I recommend his services."

"He safely stretched me further and deeper than I ever could on my own. Through Thai Yoga Massage I get a more restful night's sleep and was able to cut my medication in half, which I take from an old injury that left me with weakness and numbness in my back and leg."

"I tried the Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage for the first time. I get all the benefits of the Breath Point Massage plus the deep stretching. I really notice how much better I feel when I come for massage."

"Of all the different types of massage I've tried I enjoy Breath Point Massage the best!"

"Anthony- I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed my first Yoga class! I live with unbelievable back pain (sciatic nerve) - but decided to try the exercises anyway. I'm glad I did, because I left with NO pain! Now, I'm sure regular practice will help my back problems long-term. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's class. Thanks for your fabulous instruction and for making my first class understandable and easy!"

"I had been wanting to study yoga for years but could never afford it. I have seen by many doctors for my chronic pain, which were only masked by medications. Well...I took Anthony's yoga class at Sinclair and in just one class he taught me simple practices that I can practice at home. Anthony got me motivated, and taught me how to relax and let go. I noticed I was much less tense, less stressed and that I needed to take fewer medications. With just a few breathing techniques and yoga postures Anthony has really changed my life for the best. Thank you so much!"

"I think this class has helped me a lot. Not only have I learned a lot but I think my stress level has gone down a notch or two. What I have learned in class I will definitely take with me."

"I had a lot on my mind today so being in class really helped. It honestly has calmed me down so much. It might sound weird to say that it has changed me, but I honestly think that it has. And I'm glad because I needed a change. There is too much stress in my life.

"I was kinda nervous. I thought I'd have to be flexible to do all the poses, but it isn't like that, and I'm glad. There is a modification for everything. So, you can work your way up to the pose. And, when you are able to do pose, there are challenges you can add to it."

"I enjoyed the end of class (scanning my awareness). Totally blacked out in class. Didn't fall asleep, though. I just went somewhere nice and, all of a sudden, I heard the word "Namaskar" and I jumped up. Class was over!"

"When I left yoga class today, I had an increase in my energy level and balance. I felt good!"

"Yoga and meditation made me more sensitive to my physical needs, and this changed my life in many ways. Most of the time, I am aware of what foods my body needs and have grown to prefer them."

"I had a death in my family and Anthony helped me to stay calm with dhirga pranayama (the 3-part yogic breath)."

"We are instructed to focus on our individual bodies. We're not suppose to "out do" each other. Non-violence and non-competition characterize what we're learning."

"I have not experienced relaxation like yoga nidra since I was younger. As a parent, wife, student and worker I seem to not find time for relaxation. Sometimes I wonder what we are doing to ourselves being so busy. Thanks for the experience!"

"After I complete the full routine of the sun salutation and lie in the corpse pose I really try to focus my attention inward and feel the blissful effect the routine has on my body."

"I was very tired today. I felt more energized after yoga. I think relaxing is a wake up call for my body. I should do it more often."

"Yoga has been such a wonderful experience for me! The poses and breathing really help all parts of my life! My home life, my professional life, and my personal life. During yoga class, I was able to let the "weight of the world" fall off of my shoulders for a couple hours a week. I was "fully present" during most classes. Along with the peacefulness and spirituality I felt during yoga class, I developed increased strength, stamina, and flexibility. I can't believe how flexible I am! I do know this: My experience with yoga has been a positive one. The philosophies and practices have impacted my life in a long-term kind of way. I know that I am a better person now that yoga is a part of my life."
