“Writing this letter makes me feel so honored to be one of Ms.America Gathers yoga students, her Beautiful Energy, unmeasurable level of  knowledge, professionalism and compassion to each and everyone of her students in class, or private and even zoom lessons inspires every Yogi to improve their practice. Over the years I have practiced under her guidance. I have learned so much about my personal practice, her gentle manner and knowledge have me dive deeper in postures, recognizing how my everyday life  can be reflected in my mat, and also how much my life can be improved with my yoga practice.On a personal level, I met a beautiful generous soul, strong and loving family, more importantly  a confident and amazing woman. I am very sure your Studio, your personal Yoga practice and your life will be touched and transformed with America.”

“America Gathers is my teacher. She leads by example. Through the yogic practices that America imparts to all her students, we learn relationship with not only the body, but also with the thoughts that float in and out of our minds, as we move with grace according to the gentle directives she shares with us in class.  I have been working with America as my teacher of yoga for a few years now, and I feel prepared to continue my journey and my practice under her powerful guidance and kind encouragement.  She reminds each of us to listen to the body, to push when necessary, and to let go in the opportune moments during the yoga practice.  When we are nervous about a new asana or vinyasa, she simply says: “Give it a try,” reminding each of us that without the necessary courage to take a step in the direction of action, we may remain stagnant and motionless in our practice and pursuit of balance and harmony.  In class, we know she is our facilitator and source of encouragement.”

“I am writing to provide a testimonial for America Gathers, yoga instructor extraordinaire. I have been taking yoga classes with America for over two years. I first met America at the Yoga Rock Studio, which unfortunately had to close due to the pandemic. America’s classes were exceptional by evidence of how popular they were. She did an amazing job to fit everyone in the room in a comfortable way and to give individual attention to each participant. I especially benefitted from the Gentle Yin classes on Saturday mornings, which provided the just-right balance of stretch, breathing, and mindfulness. I found that my stress level was much lower and my back problems were manageable if I attended at least one class per week. America is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate yoga instructor. I am so thankful that she has continued to offer classes remotely during the pandemic, via Zoom. America brings a personalized experience to yoga practice. She embodies the qualities that I personally aspire to – a calming voice, an inner beauty, and a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to every yoga class with America, because there is no comparable experience. She is the best!”

“IWorking with America has been a transformative part of my fitness and wellness journey. Through our regular yin and restorative yoga sessions, she helped me improve my mobility, deepen my breathing practice, and recover after a knee injury. Her incredible knowledge of the body and yoga principles shines through in every session—she has an uncanny ability to make subtle, precise adjustments that completely change how a posture feels and what it does for your body. Combined with my own exercise routine, yoga with America played a major role in helping me ween off blood pressure medication. Her care, intuition, and deep expertise make her truly one of a kind. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner.”

“As a dentist, I’ve spent years hunched over patients, and over time, the toll on my neck and back became unbearable. I tried physical therapy, massage, even ergonomic tools—but nothing brought lasting relief. I never thought yoga would help me, but then my brother recommended me to work with America, and everything changed. America’s deep knowledge of the body, combined with her intuitive and personalized approach to yoga, has been nothing short of life-changing. Through consistent sessions and her careful guidance, I’ve experienced a transformation, not just in my physical health, but in my overall well-being and stress level. For the first time in years, I’m pain free. Her classes are thoughtful, grounding, and incredibly effective. I’m beyond grateful for the care and expertise she brings to every session. I can’t recommend America highly enough.”

Primarily because her attention to details and correct form. I’ve been absolutely free of pain on my lower back and glutes. My range of motion has increased and my upper and lower back has been strengthened. I’ve been able to do all my activities such as hiking and biking regularly for the past 4 years. Overall I’ve been operating at optimum level. Practicing yoga with America, has also been relaxing and reduces my everyday stress. She is a true blessing.”
