Thank you Priscilla for introducing me to yoga! I rise Priscilla; Hi Priscilla, I am 60 years of age and feel much younger. Watching your show and doing the stretches and poses with you Mon thru Fri has added flexibility and balance to my body. The breathing exercises alone have helped to strengthen my core. Along with my hourly walk each day, I am staying fit and balanced, minimizing the risk of falling or hurting myself should I fall. I hope SC ETV keeps your show on the air for decades. Thank you. Your show has made a big difference in my oveall fitness levels. Subj: Thank you! Thank you for your kind heart and gentle approach to Yoga. I am 54, a nurse married to a physical therapist. He leaves at 6, just when your show starts. My dog watches me work out, and sometimes joins in with a wonderful downward facing dog followed by an upward facing dog, as she follows along beside me. Hi Priscilla - I am 51 and have been dealing with low back pain and leg pain for the past year. I had to give up bedside nursing because of it. For the Bless you for your patience and being such an exemplary role model for womankind. Hi Priscilla, Respected Priscilla, Contact: marine Dear Priscilla... I just love you girl. You have done a lot for me. We are the same age, (I look almost as good as you) both are married with children, and grand children and we are both very feminine.
Hi Priscilla, I\'ve been doing your shows for 10 months now, I got so excited when I finally could stand up holding your rock crystal stem ware. I\'ve accomplished so many stretches that I couldn\'t do in the beginning. I just turned 48 and I know I\'m hooked on Yoga for life thanks to you.
I want to thank you for your uplifting newsletters. You inspire us to raise the bar physically, mentally and spiritually. I appreciate the kind of emphasis you place on life attitudes. Many years ago I spent a summer searching and researching ways to alleviate the constant pain of scoliosis. E-mail: E-mail: I am a relatively new convert to yoga and I have found your tapes to be most instructive and extremely beneficial. I thank you--and my stronger, healthier body thanks you!
Hi Priscilla, Hi Priscilla...I found your show for the first time and I loved it. My right shoulder has bothered me for about 8 months. I have decided to follow your instructions and will get back to you when with the results. Thank you. I have been taking yoga classes here in Monroe, Michigan, (right across the street from my neighborhood) for about 8 months now (for 1 hour every Monday night). I have rheumatoid arthritis (diagnosed in 1972), with most of my joints damaged (some have been replaced and some will need to be replaced in the future) and have been interested in yoga for awhile now, but have always been afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it. Finally I got out of my comfort zone, talked to the instructor, and have never looked back. I absolutely LOVE it. Wanting to do more than 1 day a week, I started looking for programs on the television. I just recently discovered your program, and I am so glad I found you. I tape both 15 minute segments every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and faithfully do them. I look forward to you every time. I have several frozen and surgically fused joints, but I still manage to do most of the poses. I can even see some improvement in my flexibility and get so excited every time I notice that I can stretch a little farther each time. Keep up the good work and don't ever leave us! I love you!! Thank you for keeping me going every day!!
The following information was provided.
You have helped me tremendously with many facets of my overall health and fitness. More specifically, after running and ballet for over 35 years (I am 50 years young) my hips have slowly begun to rip apart! That combined with a weak lower back has made me step back and reevaluate how I can continue to be super physically active. Your daily show (I have been following you for about one year) has made by back pain free and strong. My hips are keeping me from running, but I warm up with your yoga stretches and then go into my workouts of rowing or biking. You have been a complete inspiration from a physical standpoint, and almost more so from being such a great role model and spiritual provider. My friend and I both do your yoga stretch show each morning before work and cannot imagine losing our daily connection with you. We\'ve decided that if you ever come to the Milwaukee, WI area we\'d like to take you out to lnnch; we think you are so warm, spiritual and enjoyable! We\'re not crazy, just professional women bent on staying physically fit and young!!! Message: Priscilla, I recently discovered your show on the PBS station KRCB in Northern California. I LOVE your show. I have been doing yoga with some dvd\'s that I have and was beginning to get a little bored and I wasn\'t feeling very challenged by them. Your show is just the ticket. Each day brings something new. You are so encouraging by challenging us to do what we can. Your calm voice makes me want to try even when I think the pose might be to hard. Thank you soooooo much. I\'m looking forward to recieving your newsletter. all the best, FJDodson Dear Priscilla, Dear Priscilla, I am 34 years old with a small toddler. I have been watching your show since I was a teen and have enjoyed stretching all these years. My pregnancy took its toll, on my body and felaxability but I continue to stretch 15 min everymorning and admire your ability and grace. thanks for years of healthy enjoyment Hi Pricella, I must say i really enjoy watching your program. I've watched your show for a number of years, as i did with other fitness shows.But i always come back to watch your program. I know it has to be one of the very best exercise programs to keep a person in shape and healthy. But what amazes me most is how this exercise helps us to keep young looking, Contact Form From Yogaone.com Where do I begin? I've been practicing yoga my entire life and have yet to come across another instructor like yourself. You understand and respect the fact that everyone requires a different pace to learn all the stretches, and your kind words of encouragement are so appreciated. Solely from watching your program, it's easy to understand why viewers develop such a relationship with you. You are so wise and caring, and often times, I find myself talking to the TV. Thanks for being such an amazing woman and extraordinary instructor. Keep on keeping on! With love all the way from Miami. Dear Priscilla, I'm a long time fan. I started watching your show when I was in high school.I was a troubled teen in a home for girls. Your show was part of a class that the school had put together. It inspired me which was very much needed at that point in my life. I just recently saw your program on TV and I can't wait to get started stretching with you again! Thank-you for your positive influence that has impacted my life greatly! Hello Priscilla! Just wanted you to know that the people in my life know you by first name now since I talk about how stretching with you every morning has made me feel better, both physically and emotionally. I can wake up with a backache or with my arm and hand asleep and a few stretches later, it all feels better. I am 35 years old and have lost 43 pounds. The stretches are getting easier and easier (your encouragement helps!). It is my goal to be fit and trim throughout the rest of my life. You are an inspiration. Blessings to you. Have a safe and happy new year. I have been wanting to try yoga for ages, but the prospect of the diffcult poses combined with my natural lack of physical coordination teamed up to become intimidating factors. However, since I've been watching your show on PBS, I have become a devotee! I am actually mastering some of the poses and my lack of coordination is slowly evaporating. I am in better physical shape now that I have been in a long time, and the best part is that the stretching gives me energy and puts me in a really positive mindset. I've ordered some DVDs, one for the office and a few for home, and I could not be more content with my purchases. Thanks Priscilla, you really changed my life!!! I just wanted to share what a blessing it is being able to watch your yoga show on t.v. each day. I notice such a difference in my neck and back when I do it consistenlty. I love it! Thanks for your dedication. My 10 yr old daughter & I call you the pretzel lady. We are exercising with you every school morning @ 6:30 a.m. & have fun laughing at each other & grunting. She so looks forward to it that even when I don't feel like exercising, she get out the mats and asks, "Are you ready Mom"? I feel better all day knowing we got off to a healthy start. I have been doing your shows for two years now and I feel deprived if I have to go a day without yoga! I too have increased my height by 1/2" which I was amazed to learn. My posture has greatly improved with the stretching and strengthening postures which was a concern since I also have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Since stretching I can honestly say I feel so much better and have decreased the need to see the chiroprator! Thank you Priscilla for your positive,calm approach with your teachings. It has really been a huge boost. Thank you. I am 43, Since my 20's I have been intrigued by yoga and tried several times taking 'beginner' yoga classes. I always dropped out quick because at the urging or neglect of the instructors I would push a pose, do it too fast to try and keep up, and/or just not be doing the pose in a safe manner. I would end up with pain in my joints and spine that would last long after the session was over. Now I have always been athletic and reasonably fit running 30+ miles a week, stretching slowly, and lifting weights 3x weekly but yoga just made me hurt. I gave up trying to take any Yoga classes, I reasoned Yoga just wasn't right for my body type or something. Then I saw your tv show while on a business trip and thought I'd give Yoga one more try. Your method of slow smooth well explained movements did the trick! I ran to my computer and purchased some of your videos. Now I can say I love yoga! and it complements very well my other fitness routines by seeming to strengthing my core and all those little muscles that weight lifting and running don't touch. I now stand with better posture, with a solid core and open chest rather than resting my ribcage on my hips so to speak. Now, I just want to keep learning more yoga poses. I only wish the local pbs station would carry your show, or a local yoga school would follow your methods. Keep up the good work. Shelley I've been using your Yoga for lower back care after I found out I have three bulging disks in my neck, You have helped me get over my fear and stretch and get my muscles back after being afraid to move. Thank you. I so enjoy doing yoga stretches with you each morning at 6:00 Mon.-Fri. I found you on PBS about 18 months ago. I deal with some scoliosis in my lower spine & I continue to deal with lower back pain plus some sciatica in my one hip. I continue to do my best regardless of pain because it always makes me feel better stretching through it. My D.O. adjusts me every month & is amazed at my flexibility at age 67 & I owe that to you & your gentle encouragement of coaxing our bodies into the different positions. I have your Lower Back Repair Kit, Fit & Nifty Over Fifty, The Beginners & Intermediate Stretches as well as your book. I love all of them but never turn down the opportunity to stretch with you each morning. Can you give me anymore instruction as to better assist my body so that it does not continue to be in pain? I also do rebounding exercises, weight lifting, walking & some stationary bike riding. I am 5'2" & weigh 97 lbs. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. I would also enjoy receiving your free newsletter. Thank you ever so much for all the help you give to so many people seeking to make all our lives better. Sincerely, JLG from KS. for many years I have watched - and learned Yoga with you. Have been having hip and neck problems. Have been using your Lower Back Repair Kit and Priscilla's Upper Body Chair Exercises. Am trying to keep in as good shape as possible. 84years old and still moving! Thank you for your past newsletters. Very encouraging. MD I would like to thank you for your great show, since I have been working your program, My back has stop hurting alll the time, and my golf swing has improved, greatly. thank you again for your positive support durring the show. thank you so much for making me feel good and strong, you truelly the best yoga teacher ever, with you, i am able to do so much more, and having three c-section in a period of four years damged so much, but with your help, i have regained my strenght and ability to do so much more, thank you again...... Thank You for doing what you do so well. I have not found such a wonderful and gentle instructor since Richard Hittleman back in the mid 70s. Yoga is hot now ~ So there are many "instructors" but not like you. Thanks to your early show I am back to practicing daily and have just recently been able to do a headstand which I have not done in years. Slow and Methodical. Peace & Health to you. Hello from Columbia,SC. I moved here in June of 2005 and was very homesick for the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. I found your show one morning and started doing yoga with you each morning now thanks to you I feel like I have a new place to call home. Thanks for giving of the gift of your talents that help others celebrate and appreciate life wherever they are. With Gratitude, CJH Just want you to know that I have been faithfully watching and participating in your tv series running on the Milwaukee PBS station Monday-Friday, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results and what i have been learning. My body feels so lubricated and flexible. I am just 50 years old and I love it. One thing I wanted to ask you though. Last year when i went in for my physical, my height was at 5'6-1/2, down from my normal 5'-6-3/4". I was a little bummed out about that. However, about a month ago I went for my yearly again and they told me i measured in at a solid 5'-7". Could that be possible? Just wondering. I know that I stand taller and my posture is much better since the yoga practice, but i didn't know if it could really make a dif in my height. What do ya think? Anyway, thanks for all the great teaching techniques and also for the "cautions" you give. No one else seems to think that's important. I'm a 58 year old woman who practiced yoga in my younger years and have kept to a exercise and health regime for all of my grown life. I tuned into your yoga stretching classes on PBS and truly love the time i spend with you. It has been so gratifying to see my flexibility improve with every session. I look forward to practicing with you and love your soothing manners and the way you lead us into challenging our bodies. I am recommending your show to everyone i know and buying some dvds for gifts to my family and friends. Lots of love to you. Dear Priscilla,
Thank you so much for your attention to my inquiry. The dvd arrived yesterday. I really appreciate your expediting my exchange. I worked with the new dvd today. As a 56 year old beginner, I must say that you are the best instructor anyone could hope for. My favorite line in this dvd is "Try not to crash". You are amazing at knowing what beginners do; it is almost like you are actually seeing us through the television, so timely are your comments, not only in this dvd, but also in the beginning one. I will continue to purchase your lessons and recommend you to my friends.
Thanks again, Kathy
Priscilla, I have been doing your yoga for about three months. Gone are my back stiffness in the morning, sore knee joints when I squat, and sore shoulders. I am 55 and amazed in so little time I could feel so much better. You made a believer of me. I ordered one of your tapes, book and tape my local PBS channel. Thanks. I am a 53 year old who had been doing yoga with Priscilla for about two months before I was diagnosed with a benign ovarian cyst, requiring abdominal surgery. The nurses were all amazed at my ability to get up and move around the next day, and to that I attribute strong muscles from following Priscilla's routine! Thanks. I am now eight weeks out, fully recovered, and ready to get back to my daily half hour with Priscilla. Dear Priscilla, I have missed you and your show for quite some time now since my local PBS stopped our regular mornings together. I just turned fifty four and I have not been myself and I know its because I have changed my routine. I feel terrible but I should soon be back on track. You are such a good role model Thank you for all the years of the best yoga instruction any one could ask for. You always made my mornings get off to the right start. I just loved your attitude and positive suggestions. You are the best and I wish for you the best life has to offer for 2006 and in the years to come. Sincerely your faithful fan,JG I just wanted to say Thank you, thank you, thank you! I used to watch you on TV every morning about 20 years ago. I taped every segment of your show and then practiced. I have just recently started getting back in shape with hiking & snowshoeing. I wanted to incorporate some stretching into my routine and I remember wishing that I saved all of the tapes I had of your show. I was so excited when I went online and found that you had a website & offered your videos. like all those above, I think you are fantastic. I've been taping and doing your exercises for yrs. Yoga kept me from having to have a hip replacement for 7yrs.I thank you for that. I'm 58yrs., and hope to use your tapes for many more yrs. You truly are an inspiration, thank you from Canada!
Message: Priscilla,
I am a lifelong runner and only started converting to yoga two years ago. All I got from it was sore hamstrings, knees and back. I finally saw your program in the morning and something clicked with your gentle, systamatic approach. I am FINALLY starting to let go and enjoy the fruits of yoga. I feel better than I have in years. Thank You and don\'t ever change. Ralph
P.S. Do you do private consultations?
Priscilla,
Just read other testimonials to your great public TV yoga program. I also watched your program for years while getting ready for work, before I finally got down on the floor to join in because of shoulder pain. I also ordered your tape for fybromyalgic patients and have even got my husband interested in doing your yoga stretches because of that tape. After a year, I can really see the results and my posture has greatly improved to the point people have commented on it. Highly recommend your program to all ages who want to improve their well-being and fitness level. May years ago I saw your show on PBS and joined in. I then returned to work and could no longer watch, so I purchased your videos. I had praticed yoga while in college and really enjoyed it. Then I quit practicing,and now after more than 10 years away from it, I began again to watch your videos. I'm 52 now and I was having back problem and other health problems. I rememberd how good yoga made me feel, and I am again beginning to regain the flexibility I lost. Things are so different now; I'm even a grandmother. I remember you saying numerous times that you are only as old as your spine. That statement means so much more now. I look forward to ongoing practice with your videos, and I plan to purchase more.
Thanks you the positive imput you have had in my life.
I happened to see your show for the 1st
time this week on channel 21 at @6:25 am
and last for 15- 20 mins. I am dissapointed that it is quite short
but better that tnan nothing. I am 59 years old and I would like to thank you
for your very helpful show. I will order tapes so I could practice more with you.... I had to have a mastectomy 2 years ago, with the removal of lymph nodes from my left armpit. I ordered your tape Recovering from breast surgery and it has helped me to regain the full range of motion of the left arm. I am now going to begin doing the Stretches for beginners. I know it is going to be the way back to having my full energy again. Thank you for being there each morning while I have my coffee. Dear Priscilla,
Add me to the list of glowing emails on how wonderful your show is. I follow along with my sash or belt pretending I am as flexible as you but getting more so all the time. I appreciate how "real" you are when your hair gets rumpled or your words get jumply and you forgive yourself and us as we bumble along with you. You jump start my day and I will keep it up as long as you do. That's what I say to myself as I struggle at yoga, "if grandma Priscilla can do it, I ought to be able to!". Thanks for being such an inspiration. TS After tossing and turning, I got up and turned on the tv at about 1:45 am, and on a pbs channel, there you were! How nice to meet you again after so many years. You are just what I needed to remind me to start my yoga practice again. Thank you, Pricilla. Namaste. Dear Priscilla, I am 58 years old, and just wanted to tell you how much you have helped my health. I used to have back problems, knee problems that even my walk was painful. After weeks of joining you in at 6:30 a.m. at CPTV, my back problems dissapeared. I even do without any problem tranquility pose and others. Still have problems with a few of them,mostly the weight bearing ones, but I am not stopping, and trying and trying. I recommend your program to others and wrote to CPTV about it. Thank you coming to my home and with your gentleness, start my day in a very positive way. Your wise comments stick with me, and I remember eating like a king for breakfast and like pauper at dinner. Thank you and God give you health. Peace,
SCS Priscilla, love your 6AM yoga on Denver's PBS, great way to start the day! Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis at 57 years of age, I wonder if you have any particular guidelines for preventing further bone loss and preventing injury. I have always been very active, including yoga for 38 years. It's been a hard diagnosis for me. I would very much appreciate any resource information you might recommend. Thank you, Maryann I'm sure you get many, many letters and emails about your series, and at the risk of sounding just like everyone else, Priscilla, you have changed my life! I happened across your show when I got up too early for "Body Electric". What the heck, gave it a try. The improvement in my flexibility and the decrease in my pain levels has been phenomenal after only three weeks. Thank-you for being there at 6:15 am. K S Priscilla,
After e-mailing you yesterday, I got your book... Wow! It's incredible. I went through and read all your "thoughts" in one sitting. They're worth having even if I wasn't interested in yoga.
The book really is wonderful and I'm looking forward to getting yoga back
into my daily schedule, as you recommended, so that it will again become part of my routine.
I'll enjoy it and put it to good
use.
Fondly, A
I enjoy your show every morning on PBS at 5:30 a.m. I get up with a lot of back pain due to osteoarthritis and advanced disc disease. I always feel better after doing yoga with you. I've practiced yoga for several years and have learned more from you than anyone else. Thank you for helping me start my day. Thank you, S G I fell asleep one night watching something I don't remember on PBS, but my guardian angel awakened me at 6:15 the next morning to something I'll never forget. Your show! I've been with you every morning since then. I'm improving, sometimes "struggling" but laughing too, and loving it all. Thank you for being there. Five years ago I had surgery for an aneurysm in my brain with a 10% chance of survival. Then a few months later I began having grand mal seizures. Both of these were a huge shock because I was one of those who was never sick, loved snow skiing, white water canoeing, mountain climbing and much more including life. What it taught me was to appreciate each day we have and to help others along the way. I wanted to briefly tell you my story so you would know how much I appreciate your gift and your sharing it with others. I look forward to receiving your newsletter. I've watched tv yoga for many years...All the new shows that come on (yoga zone) (the method) (Denise Austin) etc.. I just want to thank you for being real..I have many of your tapes and enjoy your newsletter...It seems I'll watch the other shows but always find my way back to yours. I tape them so I can do them on the weekends or whenever I need a little energy. Thanks Again. R C Hi,
Just wanted to say I am enjoying my morning yoga workout at 6;45 a.m. everyday. I used to work out years ago and then public TV was not airing and I recently found it again. I am thrilled! Thank you, your program is the best I have every done. Please send me a free catalog so that I can order tapes for the time I am out of town. D F Grosse Pointe MI God Bless You.
Hi Priscilla - I am 51 and have been dealing with low back pain and leg pain
for the past year. I had to give up bedside nursing because of it. For the
last six months I have been going to PT. It helped my back but the leg pain
persisted - seemed even to be worse. About two weeks ago I was feeling down
about waking after another painful night with fitful sleep. I turned on the TV - not something I routinely do at 6:30AM and there you were ....I got down on the floor and gently followed your stretches. I haven't missed a day
since and my leg is feeling better ..THANK YOU.
I''ve taken some yoga before but found the classes of 1 1/2 hours too much
for me and had teachers pushing me beyond my limits too quickly ...thank you for your gentle approach. I see I have a long way to go to increase flexibility but you give me hope and inspiration ..I just ordered your Back
Care Yoga tape ..looking forward to its arrival..Thanks again and keep up the
good work..I am in NY ..are you on at any other times here? All the Best ,
M K
Hi Priscilla, I just wanted to tell you how much I and my students are enjoying your show. You are a wonderful instructor! I love your personality. I have had teachers throughtout my twenty-two years of doing yoga, who have been cold and unfeeling. You really help me start off my day. I love to teach, but there are times when a teacher needs to just enjoy being a student again. Thank you for your show and kindness. God Bless
