Testimonials
“Your yoga classes encompass all aspects of a person – mind, body and spirit and brings each to a higher level. A person is challenged to reflect, grow and strengthen themselves in each of these aspects, in a safe and peaceful environment.
The classes are very well organized, have a wonderful flow. You are very wise about the progression of your class, starting with a warm-up and then moving us intelligently through poses with increasing difficulty. You wisely prepare the body for what you will ask us to do next. Even though you challenge us, you also remind us to stay within our limits and to honor our bodies.
You obviously put a lot of thought into the class. Your voice is calming. No matter how tired and stressed I am before class, I come away from it renewed and re-energized. (You’ve been beaming us, haven’t you?). The fact that you introduce a new theme each way keeps my motivation high, I don’t what to miss out on hearing something new.
My husband volunteers to make dinner or grocery shop so that I can go to yoga class. His quote is “Yoga has been very, very good to me!” and he doesn’t even go to a yoga class.
I very much appreciate the thoughtfulness and energy that goes into each and every class and have benefited greatly in the year+ that I have been attending!” – Julie Alvarez
“Your work reflects your generosity of spirit. I am grateful for the opportunity to honor you and to say how grateful I am that you’ve shared your gifts with me. You are indeed aligned with the Divine.” -Liz Galvan
“With Kori’s inspiration and enthusiasm, not only for yoga but for all aspects of our emotional and physical health, I have found through taking her classes and attending her retreats that my yoga has soared to heights I never expected. I think about her yoga and her life lessons throughout my practice and throughout my life: I try to remember her insights and apply them as often as possible. Kori is also able to achieve a balance in how she teaches yoga–she reaches and imparts the serious aspects of our practice with a delicate and necessary humor and joy for life. Without her, I know my yoga practice would not be what it is today–a light in my life.”- Melinda Combs
“I love the spirituality that you share with the class but most of all, I really appreciate how thorough and informative your lessons are. You have a very smooth-flowing practice and it’s always something different and new. Some of my favorites have been Large Bee and Starfish/Goddess. I always walk out of your class feeling lighter and happier
Oh and your massages are fabulous too! I highly recommend you.” – Betsy Ullstrup
“Kori brings to her yoga classes a sense of focused peace while concentrating on opening and refining one area of the body at a time. Her style allows me to go deeper and farther into my practice, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I always leave her class with a renewed sense of joy about life in general.” -Sandra Hoyle
“It was Kori’s teachings that brought Yoga to the spiritual center in my life as it has. With passages to meditate on for every session, my yoga practice with Kori is always elevated to an exercise beyond my physical being. It’s not about looking good, it’s about finding the inner peace and beauty of simply living.”- Christine Tanabe
“I don’t get to attend your class as often as I’d like but whenever I’m in Huntington Beach, I make it a priority to catch one of your sessions. You are a creative and unique individual; you inspire me, push me, and remind me to be gentle with myself. You are beautiful beyond your exterior vessel, it is what is in your heart that comes through in your teaching. I am always honored to be in your presence and leave your classes centered and back in touch with my truest Self.” –Irene Tomeck
“Regardless of the class size, I have seen Kori give individual attention and advice to each student, her classes have always been fun and challenging. After taking her classes for about 1.5 years my physical endurance, calmness, and ability to cope with difficult situations have improved greatly.
It is because of this and so much more that after practicing yoga for 3.5 years and with over 20 different instructors, she is one of my preferred instructors.” –Jose Cordova
“I have had so many “Ah Ha!” moments in Kori’s class. One intuitive adjustment from Kori has transformed poses I have been practicing for years into more open and joyful places to remain calm and radiant.
Kori has the uncanny ability to sense the strengths and weaknesses (in the body’s alignment) of her students. She then seems to draw from her own energy bank (and it’s a strong one) to help move the student to a new place of vitality and stillness.
Kori’s knowledge of yoga, it’s philosophies, and the healing power of the body, is matched only by her enthusiasm and grace.
I have been fortunate enough to attend hundreds of Kori’s yoga classes, received reiki and massage from her, and attended her retreats. I guess I’m a Kori groupie, and that’s alright with me. My body, mind and spirit thank me.
In my 10+years of practicing yoga, I have received divine instruction from yoga teachers from all over the country. Kori is the person I call my teacher now. And there is no better time than now.” –Alicia Wells
“There is so much I love about Kori! The structure of the class is always challenging, the meditative aspect adds a dimension of spirituality in which she encourages you to reach a new level of growth within yourself. Yoga is about body, mind, and soul and Kori does a great job of encompassing each aspect every time she teaches. Since doing yoga with Kori I have grown not only in my yoga practice, but in life in so many ways I never could have imagined.“- Brenna Van de Brake
“At first Yoga for me was to experience a new exercise to gain strength and relieve stress, but Kori’s class is so much more. It’s an hour and a half of self reflection, stress relief and purpose. Every time I leave her class it brings me closer to discovering my purpose, and that is what makes Kori an awesome Yoga teacher.”
