"Bruce, I'm writing this letter to thank you for your interest and concern that you have for your Yoga students, your words of comfort and peace are very relaxing and enjoyable, compared to this very busy world that we live in. I would like to express my gratitude for your guidance in Yoga class. I have been a student of your course for only 15 short weeks, in that time I have experienced many benefits from Yoga.

The one thing that I am so excited to write you about is that for the past 20 years or so I have experienced a lower back pain that was constant while standing, sitting, or walking, the pain was always there. After about 10 weeks of classes and home practice the pain in my back has totally disappeared, and it feels wonderful to be rid of this pain. I'm grateful to have you as a teacher!"
