what a great vid mix! totally mesmerizing! i love when past meets present and becomes timeless! very creatively done.

music is SUCH a personal, subjective thing, so i tend to keep it on the ambient level for my classes. however, alone in my practice – anything goes!

Nadine! thanks for this trip down memory lane! i never thought to look up Lilias on youtube. i have such fond memories of her morning show back in the 70s. my parents and i were living with my aunt and uncle for part of the summer. i was 16 and i was B O R E D! so finding Lilias was a god(dess)send. she set me down my yoga path.

“Amazing Teacher”

Nadine is far and away one of my favorite teachers in the bay area. For one it is such a rare and great thing to find a yoga teacher who doesn’t tell you how to think…but i don’t want to just say what’s better about her than other folks but what is freestandingly great about her – and there is lots to tell. First of all Nadine understands that physical adjustments are really personal and has this really great respect for her students bodies. I’ve never felt wierd about being one of those yoga students who doesn’t like it when my teachers get all touchy feely, you know how some teachers can make you feel weird if your like, “please don’t push that there…” well Nadine totally respects that you can push yourself there if you want to and doesn’t assume you want her pushing you there…catch my drift? She gives amazing verbal instructions and while i’ve gotten great workouts in her class i’ve never hurt myself. I’ve also been able to do things – like a headstand in the middle of the room – with nadines help that i wasn’t able to do before studying with her. Nadine has also been a teacher for me in developing my home practice and I’ve found things i’ve learned from her readily transferable to practicing outside of class.

“A Truly Beautiful Instructor and Experience”

Nadine Johnson has brought calm, focus, energy, and light into my life on numerous evenings at 7th Heaven Yoga in Berkeley. Her teaching transcends the studio, reminding me to breathe into everything that I do. I love Nadine’s variations on a more strict ashtanga series and especially like her choice of music and the attitude that she brings to the class. There is never a lack of challenge and always the opportunity to be gentle and listen to what your body needs. I would advise taking Nadine’s class any day, but especially on evenings when you need to let go of the days events and simply bring yourself to the mat. This class is a great stress release! Thanks Nadine!
