about satsang: testimonials
I just joined Satsung about a month ago, and I just would like to say that I am so impressed by the usability of your website, it is probably one of the most professional websites I've seen in any private organization. Yesterday I forgot to take my receipt and one had been emailed to me by the time I got home 10 minutes later! When I was doing an internet search on Vancouver yoga, your website was initially what brought me in. And I appreciate being updated with new specials and other happenings via email.
Also, your staff is amazing! I have gotten so much out of every single class I've attended, both physically and mentally. I have felt a difference in myself since the very first class I went to. I am usually very wary of "personal testimonies" that I read online, I must say this is the only time I have found them to be entirely accurate. I am so happy that I joined.
Just wanted to say thank you for exceeding my expectations.

I just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed discovering yoga at Satsang over the past couple months. Before I started, my body was pretty constantly stiff and uncomfortable because of all the rough- and-tumble hockey and soccer I play. With yoga, I no longer feel yucky for days after a hockey game and I've noticed that all the movement I do during the day just feels better. My flexibility, while still not the greatest, has definitely improved. And yoga has been a lovely and peaceful way to start my days.
Erin is an extraordinary teacher. Kind, gentle, thoughtful, upbeat, fun, challenging and supportive. I'm looking forward to trying new classes in 2008, but I can say that Erin is one of the best teachers I've ever had in any subject. Thanks for creating such a warm and inviting studio!
I don’t know how to begin to thank Dana for her playing such a huge role in my journey to motherhood. I can honestly say that taking her prenatal yoga class made me ready to embrace motherhood with OPEN arms. I have never felt such inner peace and strength as I do now! Yoga is MY time to relax, rejuvenate and strengthen my mind and body. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Satsang, the classes are AWESOME and the people are just AMAZING! Thanks for all you do!

Yoga has empowered me and toned me. Size 14 to an 8! Helped me with decision making, confidence and balance. Yoga has become my spirituality, given me control, broadened my thinking.

I can find my quiet more easily and I am getting more flexible and strong. Plus my breathing is deeper. This studio is an oasis for me. I love the feelings I experience here. Thank you! Plus I have learned what Namaste means!

I have really enjoyed these classes. I recommend yoga to all even those of us over 60! It's so important to me to keep myself straight and flexible. This is a very comfortable and friendly place to come. I adore all the instructors - give it a try. You will be glad you did!
Linda Barker
I enjoyed yoga in the 70's, and have occasionally done it on my own over the years. When Dana & Jerilyn came to ESD in August I was hooked! In general, it makes me good physically and I feel good about myself! The bonus is that I spend less time vegetating! My dad always said "Keep a smile on your face and a ray of sunshine in your heart. Since I've been taking yoga regularly I have more aware of that "ray of sunshine". Taking classes truly does put a smile on my face. I am more relaxed, and physically fit than I was before, and it has made me a happier person!

Yoga has helped me with overall life balance. I feel calm, centerd, challenged and an eagerness to learn more. I have found strength, acceptance and flexibility. The instruction at Satsang Yoga is personal, challenging and rewarding.
Cathy Holdsworth
My lower back had me severely impaired. At times, I couldn't life my child, put on my socks or get into my car without pain. I have my vitality now! I get through life almost pain free and without fear of injury. More important is the greater vitality and overall health that I enjoy when I maintain a consistent yoga practice.
Eric Kelly
Yoga has helped me learn how to relax by breathing - always feeling peaceful after class.
I am prone to panic attacks and the long deliberate breathing helps me relax. After class I feel heathier and more relaxed and I sleep better.
Yoga has helped me gain confidence in my pregnancy, feel in control for me and baby while pregnant and in giving birth to stop and relax and get rid of stress and tension. Thank you - Satsang is a great place - thank you for helping honor my pregnancy.

Yoga has helped me to relax more than usual and releast some nervousness I've been having. It's a time for me to be alone and take care of myself.
Yoga is MY time to make ME happy. I am gaining clarity and undetanding purpose

To know Satsang is to LOVE Satsang!
From communitiy yoga events to private nutrition consultations, this is totally the place to be for anyone interested in increasing or maintaining optimal health & wellness. We don't need to know much more about where to go or what to do if we just plug into the activities, education and opportunities to be involved at Satsang. It's with pleasure and confidence that I refer my friends. I know they will be warmly welcomed and encouraged to create their own incredible experience.
Cathy Nielsen
Being a member of Satsang yoga has been a great health benefit. I find renewed energy from the classes offered. The education programs help me find more of our community resources, thanks to Dana's networking efforts. My family and friends have also appreciated services at Satsang. Dana is truly devoted to bring health and wellness to Clark County and we are the lucky ones to enjoy the benefits!
Donna Krebsbach
The Satsang organization offers more than just yoga, it's a place to meet all body & relaxation needs of Clark County community members. After only being open for just over one year, many Clark County members recognize the "Satsang" name out in the community because of all the organizations/events Satsang is involved: Relay for Life, SWMC Passport to Wellness, Chamber of Commerce etc. Dana Layon has accomplished a wonderful iniative with marketing her services available to Clark County, and because of that, people are meeting their body & relaxation needs, which creates a healthier Clark County!

Satsang Yoga is the warmest, most friendliest fitness and wellness center in Vancouver. From the moment they opened their doors last March, every time you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile and a heartfelt "how are you?". The classes are amazing and the instructors truely express the mind, body, spirit connection we all need. The massage and facial services are the best I've had due to the knowledgeable staff and warm, welcoming atmosphere. I recommend Satsang to anyone I talk to who is interested in improving their health or has never experienced yoga because once they try Satsang, their expereince will be so positive it will make a difference in their life.

I've been a member at Satsang Yoga since it opened a year ago. I'm very pleased to have a local yoga studio, especially one where the personnel are as enthusiastic and caring as are Dana and her instructors. As a client, I don't feel like a client; instead, I feel like an important part of the life of the Satsang community. I also am grateful for the range and number of classes offered so that I can have yoga as a part of my often too-busy life. My husband and I both appreciate Dana's enthusiasm, care, and thoughtfulness during our yoga practice. Having a regular yoga practice has helped me overcome several health issues as well as enjoy a better quality of life overall. I recommend this studio to any who are looking for a "yoga" home.

I met Dana through our WEO women's group and it was the beginning of an awesome journey for me. I have had chronic back, neck and shoulder problems due to my profession. Yoga has been a wonderful option for me to alieve the pain. Not only is it therapeutic for me, but the staff and Dana herself, make Satsang a truly relaxing and nuturing environment for me to come to. The way that her business has grown in the last year has been great to watch. She gives so much back to her community and deserves every award and kudo that she has received!

Dana Layon has created a warm, personal, fabulous business in Vancouver. She connects effectively with all types of people in all types of businesses, cross markets extremely well and contributes to the community through charitable events. Her yoga studio is beautiful and calming and I recommend her to everyone! It's unusual to find such a new business owner with so much savvy. Love, love, love her!

Dana, there is just no one like you as an instructor, either in your yoga technique, your teaching style, or the spritual quality that you bring to
your class. What you are doing for people with Sansang is simply amazing.
I know you are busy, busy, busy, but I hope you take time to reflect and revel in your accomplishments with your studio and your passionate, daily, achievement of your mission.
Namaste,
Terri Gamble
I wanted to let you know we had our BABY GIRL on Thursday, June 21st @
2:44pm! Her name is Hannah Mariah and she is just perfect (if we
do say so...) The labor really went well, and I'm proud to say I made
it through without any help from drugs OR "augmentation." I really
think yoga helped me get through it, especially deep breathing &
focusing on one point in the room during contractions. I also used
some of the poses you suggested, and they helped as well. The ball
was good, too, but ultimately, I think it was the whirlpool pared with
the breathing that really made a HUGE difference!
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for all your suggestions & support
during the pregnancy. It has been great to get to know you and I've
really enjoyed the prenatal yoga. I look forward to getting back as
soon as I can, so I can bring Hannah with me to one of those Saturday
morning classes.
