When I discovered Kingwood Yoga and Wellness Center I used a cane. I have since tossed the cane and all of my medications. I practice my yoga every day. I can now interrupt a headache before it kicks in. I keep my sinuses clear without antibiotics and the poses keep my arthritis at bay. It is holistic healing! Without the recommended hip replacement surgery, I am so flexible now. I feel fabulous! I feel better than I have felt in 30 years. Marita is my new M.D.

I have been a student of yoga for more than 10 years. Marita knew when I was ready to learn the king pose of yoga, ”HEADSTAND.” Although I was apprehensive, I trusted her intuition. I just love the way she instructs me.

When I would get out of bed in the morning, I could barely move. Bending, sitting, even sneezing hurt. My doctor prescribed physical therapy. Then a friend suggested I go with her to Kingwood Yoga and Wellness Center. I went, hoping for a miracle…and I found it! Kingwood Yoga immediately made me feel welcome. They knew just what to do to help my aching back. By the end of the summer I was almost pain free. I was definitely much, much better. Their expertise is not limited to my back problem. I hate exercise, but the classes give me a complete workout that is challenging and totally fun. I have barely taken the first step, but their wisdom, kindness, and patience make the adventure exciting. Kingwood Yoga is also teaching me to relax. With Kingwood Yoga I have learned to handle stress much better. I am healthier both physically and mentally.

I want to say a word or two about Kingwood Yoga and Wellness Center. Besides Lymphedema, I also have 2 bulging discs that make it hard to do anything much less Yoga, or so I thought. Through Marita’s guidance, I’ve gradually made improvements, little by little. I could hardly balance myself at first and now, just 4 sessions later, I’m getting stronger and stronger. Marita has a gift and it is that no matter how many people are in the class, you feel as though you are the only student she has, the only one who matters! Everyone in the class feels the same way. She’s done so much for my strength and stamina, much more than any Doctor has done. I can’t wait to tell everyone I know about her. Her gift must be known.

I suffered with chronic low back pain for years and was diagnosed with Degenerative discs in my lumbar spine. At age 26 I was taking anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxers and pain medications on a daily basis. I had one epidural steroid injection into my low back but nothing ever totally relieved the pain and I was considering surgery. Then I became pregnant and had to quit taking all my medications. That's when I found Marita. I started coming to her yoga classes and within weeks my back pain was diminished and within a couple of months it was totally gone! I practiced yoga all 9 months and had a storybook pregnancy and easy delivery. I now have a healthy baby girl and a much stronger back all thanks to Kingwood Yoga and Wellness Center!

After two years of trying to conceive with drugs & surgery, I joined KINGWOOD YOGA. Marita told me to give her three months. It only took one! I am expecting my 1st baby in October. I have continued my yoga classes and have had the best pregnancy any woman could hope for. Thanks Marita!

Kingwood Yoga Teacher Training gave me the “why” knowledge to support the practice I embraced several years earlier. Marita is so engrained in Yoga and Yoga, in her it is a learning experience to have any conversation with her. Her knowledge of all aspects of the practice is vast. If only I could press my forehead next to hers’ and through osmosis absorb all of the yogi, as well as life wisdom that she has collected there. Marita brought my attention to how aware I need to be to the needs and challenges of my students. Marita is very astute in this area naturally and has cultivated this gift. The business aspects Marita has shared is invaluable to a new teacher wanting to promote herself. These are things it would take years and many costly mistakes to learn on your own by trial and error. I have truly emerged from Kingwood Yoga Teacher Training as a “Yoga Teacher”. Awareness that “The Universe is Perfect” and each one of us is exactly where we are intended to be at each moment gives me freedom of spirit and an acceptance of “ours” beyond what I previously thought possible. Though, my conscience mind will never know the “whole” of the benefits of this practice we call “Yoga”, discovering daily, is the Journey!
