TestimonialsTake a look at what our community has to say about us, our classes and our studio. About Nancy “I am always pleasantly surprised when I am introduced to folks in a “random” fashion, but the truth is: there are never any accidents in this life. Since meeting Nancy two weeks ago, at the request of a healer friend, I have been introduced to her work with evolutionary astrology, which has been educational and inspiring. I attended the Full Moon in Aries healing circle and was in awe of Nancy’s command of astrology. For Nancy, it’s so much more than looking at a person’s birth sign; through astrology, Nancy is able to tap into a person’s life purpose and their natural talents and abilities. She has a gift of helping push people out of the nest, so to speak, and help them see their potential to fly. Additionally, Nancy gracefully incorporates movement into her healing work, which is just beautiful. In a private session with Nancy, we were able to examine so much more than in a group setting; I left our Astrological Conversation with so much validation. Mine has not been an ordinary path, and the “bizarre” story is divinely indelibly written in the stars. It was really very cool to look at the different planets, aspects and houses in my birth chart; even though Nancy is able to discuss the minute details of the reading, I am taking away a sense of peace, knowing that I am, indeed, here to bring healing into this world and to help raise the consciousness on Mother Earth. Thank you, Nancy, for your beautiful work in this world. You are a bright light for so many. May you continue to shine brightly as you Imagine peace,healing, compassion, and unconditional love for the collective, through your classes and Playshops at Imagine Yoga. ” — Dorina Leslie “Nancy was the instructor of restorative yoga classes I took at Imagine Yoga. She brings a level of caring that you can feel in the room during the session. I actually attended a class super stressed out and I let her know that in the beginning before we started. Not only did the class lower my stress levels and put me in a zoned out state, but it affected the entire room. Every person was moved and we all discussed how we felt a strong connection to the instructions. It was as if Nancy were healing us as we were all in it together. Quite an uplifting and unique experience! ” — Joanne A. “I found Nancy and Imagine Yoga online because I wanted one on one instruction to learn how to do yoga. Her studio is remarkable; full of light and space. After sharing with Nancy my current life situation, she advised we start with ‘restorative yoga.’ This gentle practice, I found out, reminded me how to deep breathe again. This necessary function is essential for the overall better functioning of the body - and in my case, alleviate and even stop the pain in my hips. Nancy possess a thorough knowledge and understanding of how this ancient practice helps one better cope with the challenges of today. I incorporate what I learned at Imagine Yoga in my daily work routines. I highly recommend her as a yoga teacher and practitioner who can bring about physical and emotional healing.” — Alexandra L. “This is a lovely class and Nancy is wonderful and attentive. Nancy takes time to ensure that you are able to follow and your postures are correct; at the same she gives options to make you engage with the practice at the level you’re at.” “Nancy has a calming presence, is a great practitioner, and is super compassionate. The studio is cozy and has a great vibe. I have taken classes in-studio and virtually from many of the teachers and have always had an excellent experience. I’m also happy to see the studio branch out and offer different types of classes. I highly recommend Imagine Yoga!!” — Amy Marks, Speech Language Pathologist “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit with Nancy for an astrological consultation. It was truly amazing. Nancy shares information with passion, intuitiveness, and great clarity that left me in awe of the accuracy of it all on all levels - physically, emotionally and spiritually. I highly recommend letting Nancy draw up your chart and let her expertise shine a light on what you may need to look at more closely on your life’s path.” — Sita's Light “My friend and business collaborator Nancy Volante helps people take great leaps in their life. I highly recommend Nancy’s work. She provides Alchemy with her Astrological conversations. Every session with her feels like energy movement healing. Nancy’s wisdom & intuitive style helps you understand your life experiences & with that awareness you are able to move through blocks that have gotten in your way. You feel you are opening a book of super knowledge with these ancient wisdom practices that empower you. ” — Tesa Baum “Imagine Yoga is such a serene and beautiful space to practice yoga. Nancy (the owner) is committed and responsive to her community; her teachers are experienced and supportive of meeting students at their own level.” About the Studio “Imagine yoga is a bright spot in my day. I look forward to the focus and wholesome experience that nourishes both my body and my spirit. ” — Leslie “I’ve done Restorative Yoga at several different studios and I can honestly say that nothing I’ve previously experienced compares with Restorative at Imagine Yoga. Nancy has such a love and passion for Restorative Yoga and it definitely comes through in her teaching. I’ve had issues with anxiety and Restorative with Nancy has been so helpful with calming my nervous system. She is so observant and in tune with each student that she knows exactly which props to use and how to use them to bring the most satisfying results. I’m so grateful that I found Imagine Yoga as it has helped to bring some much needed peace to my mind and body. I’ve had several private sessions with Nancy and I found them to be most helpful in getting more in touch with my body and how it functions. Nancy works not only on the physical level but also on the emotional and spiritual levels. She is a great listener, compassionate, and very dedicated to doing her best for each student. An ex-dancer , Nancy is very knowledgeable about body movement and how to correct imbalances . Thank you Nancy!” — Bea Restorative Yoga “I’ve been taking Mindful Flow classes for over a year now and have found them to be challenging without overtaxing my arthritic knees. It’s been a confidence-building experience for me. The class has been a way to wake up my body and reconnect to my own inner wisdom while building flexibility and strength. The class may not move as quickly as the vinyasa flow classes, but it is physically challenging just the same.” Mindful Flow Yoga “Expect to employ the use of props both physical and imaginative to help us locate, illuminate what we don’t know that we don’t know, to inform us of what is possible, to either challenge and add fire to the practice or to soften and support. Come prepared to participate actively in order to awaken your blind spots, discover a more competent and supple body, and create more space, buoyancy and vitality. This class is a container for curiosity and a place to explore ‘the body as process, not object.’” — Liz K. Alignment + Functional Movement “A private lesson gave me the chance to work in more detail with Nancy regarding to my own body’s challenges. The poses helped me to align hips, knees and feet properly so that I can now stand tall with an open heart and move with grace. ” Private Lessons “Having a private session with Nancy is wonderful and powerful. She has an amazing understanding of how the physical body works but is also attuned to the connections of the emotional body. She is able to assess quickly what movements will help your body, then she gently supports you through those movements, both physically and emotionally. Nancy has a big, warm heart, a gentle spirit, and a beautiful smile. Just being with her is very healing.” — Jennifer S. “It feels just like coming back from a mini vacation after one of Kerin’s inspiring yoga sessions and I would absolutely recommend her classes. Her fine tuned method of teaching yoga has the perfect balance between cardio, strength, stretching and relaxation. Her clear and detailed instructions bring awareness and an open mind and make it possible to find yourself in a new yoga pose.Thank you Kerin! You’re the best yoga teacher I ever had!” Kerin’s Classes “I love Liz’s classes for so many reasons. First, Liz has such a wonderful way of supporting students at all levels. She is kind, thoughtful and intentional. Her classes are often challenging yet always doable as she provides differentiated support tailored to those in her class. She always includes all six types of postures in every class. And she introduces new movement, poses or variations of poses which keeps interest levels high and also encourages us to stretch ourselves and work into places we might otherwise avoid or resist. Over the course of the past few months, because of her classes, I have regained my strength and flexibility that I had in my 30’s and 40’s. I never want to miss her class! ” Liz’s Classes “As a student of Liz Wendel’s for more than 10 years, it is such a joy to practice with her both in Imagine Yoga’s beautiful studio and virtually on-line. Liz supports, enlightens and motivates all of her students: show up to your mat, open your heart, challenge your body to see what it can do. Liz’s classes, thoughtfully structured, offer poses with modifications in difficulty, allowing all levels to experience a full and supportive experience. A teacher’s teacher, Liz is truly an exceptional yoga instructor.” — Susan R. Jasmine’s Classes “I’ve taken Jasmine’s class a couple of times and I really recommend it if you want to be challenged and/or explore your practice. Each class has opened opportunities for me to engage better with yoga and Jasmine’s humor and warm personality is perfect for getting you through the stretches and poses. I will keep coming back for more!” “I recommend Beth Perlman’s yoga class. I have been a studio member for more than a year and try to take Beth’s classes whenever I can. I really appreciate her supportive and encouraging teaching methods. No two classes are ever the same and Beth always offers additional poses for more experienced yogis. The class time passes very quickly and afterwards I feel great! ” — Marianne B. Beth’s Classes
