I started taking yoga classes with Chihiro once a week about 4 months ago, hoping to improve my flexibility and looking forward to the mental and spiritual effects of the practice as well. After only two classes I was able to notice a change. It's strange to say, but only a few days after the second session I could feel my body "craving" yoga! I could not wait until class the following week. I also started to notice that it was more difficult to balance and support myself in the different poses when I was exhausted or lacking sleep. I was becoming more and more aware of the state of my body. I still look forward to yoga class every week and Chihiro arranges her classes to fit the physical and mental state of her students every time. Chihiro is a wonderful teacher and yoga is addictive!

I'm as stiff as a board. Yoga doesn't come easy. But my sessions with Chihiro have been wonderful. She's very protective of my health, and her first concern is to avoid injury. She also protects my pride by being non-judgmental about my limited flexibility. Chihiro is so calm and patient she creates a supportive atmosphere in which to practice yoga. She's not dogmatic about yoga traditions, and adapts it to my needs. What a great teacher and I feel quite lucky to have found her.

I have enjoyed Chihiro's yoga classes immensely. Chirihiro is very patient teacher who is willing to demonstrate and explain the various yoga poses in a very calm and soothing manner. She also suggests alternative poses. This is especially important for a beginner like myself. My flexibility has improved since taking the classes and I have learned some relaxation techniques that I can do outside of classes. I strongly recommend these classes.

I have been taking yoga with Chihiro Friedman at the Star Dance Studio. I love her class. She is a very gentle spirit, nurturing and focused. Chihiro works well with any challenge or needs that a student might have. In a short time I have become much more limber and I fell less stress in my life. My body feels more connected, relaxed and I am walking taller. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

Chihiro is an excellent yoga instructor. She has been very patient with me as she has introduced me to yoga. I felt the difference in my body after just a few sessions. I was amazed at how yoga can really tone my body and help you truly relax and relieve daily stress. Chihiro provides a calm, focused atmosphere and leads you experly through the different levels of yoga. I highly recommend Chihiro to anyone, even beginners like me.

Artiste en mosaiques, j'etais contente d'avoir trouve Chihiro, car ses lecons de yoga m'aident a relacher mes tensions physiques et nerveuses accumulees pendant des heures de concentration.
Elle m'aide a prendre conscience de mon corps qui s'est peu a peu assoupli et tonifie. Certaines poses m'aident a surmonter mon anxiete. Mon corps s'est peu a peu assoupli et tonifie. Chihiro adapte les lecons selon l'etat mental et physique dans lesquels je me sens.
Tres attentive et patiente, parlant francais, (tres gros avantage pour moi), je suis tres satisfaite de l'enseignement du yoga donne par Chihiro et je la recommande chaleureusement.

ちひろさんのヨガのクラスはとても丁寧で楽しく過ごさせていただきました。特に無理をせず、リラックスしながらというのを中 心としたクラスなので、こんなに気持ちが落ち着い たのは何年ぶりだろうという風にさえ思えました。リラクセーションのポーズでは暖かい毛布にくるま れて、まるで赤ちゃんにもどったように自分の基本と心の安定さを得ることができ、それでいて体のトーニングもばっちりカバー してくれるのでエキササイズとリラックスのタブル の効果があって、ストレスの多い私達の生活には ピッタリだと思います。ちひろさんにはインスパイヤーされて、これからは心と体のためにもヨガを続 けようと決めました。
