student comments & thoughts

Joining Phoenix’s Hatha yoga class about twelve years ago was one of the best things that I ever did for myself.

Phoenix has a beautiful way of teaching yoga. Her calm voice, the pace of the class, the suggested alternate positions, and her encouragement are just a few of the factors that make her class special.

Phoenix makes you feel as if you are the only person in the class. She has convinced me that yoga is a way of life.

I am fortunate to have had Phoenix as my yoga instructor for ten years. She is well-versed in various styles of yoga and is very intuitive to the needs of her students. When Phoenix notices that a pose is difficult for a student, she suggests a variation to make it easier.  She has all the qualities of a good instructor and encourages each student to grow in their practice. My life has been enriched by knowing Phoenix because she cares, has a positive attitude towards life and possesses a great sense of humor.

Phoenix Wilson’s Yoga practice strengthens and flexes the body, relaxes the mind and brings joy to the heart.  Phoenix is a kind, sincere, gentle and caring Yoga instructor with knowledge and experience she brings to the class as she engages everyone with personal attention.  Yoga poses vary from class to class, but Phoenix always focuses on physical and mental well-being, and the stretching, breathing, balancing and core strengthening are a constant. I leave each of Phoenix’s Yoga practices feeling relaxed and thankful for the opportunity to practice Yoga in the peaceful community she creates.

In search of the Ideal Yoga Instructor?

While attending a family gathering, being an avid cyclist, I complained of lower back pain, muscle tightness, and night restlessness. My sister-in-law, a Nurse Practitioner, suggested yoga with a caveat..steer clear of the books, they will only confuse you. Find a qualified instructor, attend classes, and be patient. 

I hit the mother lode on my first try when I discovered Phoenix. After a few weeks all my irritating physical annoyances disappeared. 

My sessions were conducted by a lovely, warm and gracious Lady named Phoenix. I consider her classes to be one of the BEST gifts I have ever given myself. As a bonus you will meet wonderful people, share good times, hear fascinating stories and tell a few jokes!

I have been her student for three incredible years. It was as though I had discovered Nirvana!

Sincerely,

"Yogi Pete"

My journey into yoga began in 2011 with Phoenix as the instructor. The timing of her class worked out as my youngest daughter was in kindergarten. It was a 1/2 hour drive from Northern Kentucky. My thought was to stay for the school year and then find a closer spot to practice once my daughter was in school all day. My drive now is a little longer and totally worth it! I have tried several local classes/instructors and find that Phoenix has just the right amount of warmth and embodies the yogi spirit while helping her students reach individual goals. Phoenix is very knowledgeable about the body and how each pose affects the body. I love how she shares this information throughout class. She very effortlessly holds space for every level and personally connects with each student. Bringing her authentic self to class and life, Phoenix inspires her students to do the same.
