"I Feel Amazing. I Wish I Would Have Joined Sooner"

From the desk of Brian Friedman/Owner of Winter Garden Yoga

Each month Winter Garden Yoga features an amazing VIP who has achieved incredible results with our guaranteed methods. We call this feature: Winter Garden Yoga's Client of the Month.

Nominees share their inspirational stories (in their own words) and their photographs to motivate others to break old, destructive habits and to rise higher than they ever thought before.

This month we are proud to share Jennifer's marvelous story. What did Jennifer do to get rid of her achy joints? What did Jennifer do to rev up her energy? What did Jennifer do to lose an inch around her waist and hips?

These answers and much, much more will be revealed in Jennifer's amazing and inspirational story.

Read on...

1. What made you decide to join our studio?
I have fibromyalgia and endometriosis and had been neglecting my health for over a year. I didn’t feel like myself and was unable to deal with daily stresses. The level of pain I had been living with had become unbearable. I reverted to medications to deal with the pain. I had gained almost 20 pounds and knew that I had to do something before things got even more out of control. I had done yoga off and on for 15 years, so I was aware of the benefits.

2. What results have you received since joining our studio?
After a couple of weeks I had more energy and noticed that I was able to deal with daily stress. The biggest change came after a month. My pain level had diminished by at least 75%. I no longer rely on the medication. I began the nutrition counseling 6 weeks ago and can’t believe how quickly I saw results. I have lost an inch in my waist and hips and at least 5 pounds (I try not to weigh myself).

3. How do you feel now compared to how you felt before joining our studio?
I feel amazing! I wish I would have joined sooner.

Jennifer is off her pain medication, has more energy, and wonders why she didn't
come to WGY sooner.
4. What do you like best about our studio?
Winter Garden Yoga is not only a yoga studio, but it is also a supportive family. I’ve only been a member for 5 months, but I instantly felt like I was part of something awesome. After years of doing yoga and experiencing a gamut of different instruction styles, these are by far my favorite instructors. They are truly interested in helping people reach their health and fitness goals.

5. What would you say to someone on the fence about joining our studio?
Why wait? I had all of the excuses. I understand! I felt guilty about leaving my son in the evenings after working all day, I didn't want to spend the money (I was already paying for a gym membership), I didn't have time, etc. Make “You” a priority!

Have You Seen This Yoga Person Lately?, Transformation

About a year ago, we came up with a great idea: Winter Garden Yoga's Client of the Month. We agreed that this would be a fantastic way to share the amazing success stories of our highly regarded clients.

That was the easy part.

The tough part was trying to decide who would be our first remarkable story. Which one of the many success stories should we highlight? It didn't take long before we decided on Bridget's unbelievable transformation. You can read her full story here.

Right now, we'd like to share Bridget's follow up story in her own words. Did she gain her weight back? Did she stick to the plan? Is Winter Garden Yoga still a part of her life?

All of these questions and more will be answered...

"I was so honored to be chosen as the first Winter Garden Client of the Month last July!

"When I started my yoga classes with WGY in April of 2011, I had no idea how much of a difference it would make in my life. To recap my story, I came to Winter Garden Yoga as a sort of last resort - I was both physically and mentally wiped out! After a series of upheavals in my life - the death of close family members, my marriage breaking up, and quitting smoking - I was in need of some help. And WGY was the kick in the butt I needed! 

"Just six months after starting, I had lost 25 pounds. But more than just the weight loss, I FELT amazing! I had gained and lost weight many times before but never [had a transformation quite like the one I experienced at Winter Garden Yoga].

Bridget's amazing transformation. She lost 25 pounds!


"My body became leaner and I became stronger.

"Fast forward 3 years later - since becoming Client of the Month, I have still kept all of the weight off that I lost in 2011. After the holidays in 2013, I saw that my weight was creeping back up and I realized that I was still celebrating the holidays in February! In March I ended up in the hospital with some health problems that were probably due to the fact that I was eating poorly. Because I now take care of my 2 year old granddaughter full time, it's not as easy to exercise or eat right all of the time and even though I make it to two yoga classes a week, I realized I needed to do more.

"So now while my granddaughter naps, instead of sitting on the couch, I pop in a DVD of Brian's Yoga class and work out! I have lost the "holiday" weight plus a few pounds more!


Look at that smile! Bridget has kept the weight off for over 3 years
and has enough energy to keep up with her 2 year old grand daughter.


"I cannot say enough about how much WGY has changed my life. At the age of 55, I am so full of energy even after keeping up with an active 2 year old! Besides the physical benefits, the mental part is just as important. I have become addicted to Karen's Yin Yoga class and look forward to every Tuesday where I can de-stress!

"[I am] so thankful that I found WG Yoga!"

How She Achieved a Size 2 in 90 Days, Client of the Month

Each month Winter Garden Yoga features a client who has achieved amazing results with our guaranteed methods. We call this feature: Winter Garden Yoga's Client of the Month.

Nominees share their stories (in their own words) and their photographs to inspire others to break old, destructive habits and to rise higher than ever before.



This month we are proud to share Gloria's story. How did she get rid of nagging aches and pains and drop from a size 8 to a size 2?!

Read on...


What made you decide to join Winter Garden Yoga?

Once I visited WGY and took a few classes, there was not any question about joining. I really enjoyed the three classes I had taken, all beginner's yoga, and felt very welcomed by Brian and fellow classmates. I had been wanting to try yoga for a while, and I thought the practice could help me to achieve better balance in my life. I had concentrated on nourishing my mind and spirit but did very little to properly nourish my body (including physical exercise. I fell in love with WGY instantly and decided to commit with a membership :D


What results have you received since joining WGY?

So many....most of all, I have noticed I am less stressed out. I am coping better with stressful situations at work and in my personal life. I have better mental strength. I am physically energized (the best part :). I realized recently that the aches and pains that I used to experience frequently have disappeared (sore joints during weather changes.) I am feeling better than ever, coupled with the confidence I've gained from all of the physical results!! I am down from a size 8 (and about to bulge out of that) to a size 2!! I literally did not know this was physically possible!!  I actually have great posture now, and have even been told that it is perfect! Feeling muscles that have always been too small and covered with fat to be visible.
Gloria was almost a size 10. After 90 days she is now a size 2!


What do you like best about WGY?

Honestly I love the atmosphere most, which includes everything! The instructors and other members are so supportive. The actual studio is calm and relaxing.


What would you say to someone on the fence about joining WGY?

Don't wait one more day. You will know instantly if it is for you. The support that I have received has been priceless. In the past, I would have stopped at day 60, size 6. Not because I was lazy (I was,) but because I didn't know any better. I lacked any sense of body consciousness. Now I have the tools to take me further. I would not have experienced that had I not tried that first class.
