Fantastic! That’s how I felt after attending my first yoga class with Sandy Hicks!  The wonderful body stretches, relaxing atmosphere, and gentle
instruction from Sandy was the perfect way to be introduced to the powerful and refreshing benefits of yoga.  Each successive class has left me
feeling more empowered to control my body and mind.  The poses and controlled breathing are restorative for my sole.  Sandy not only shares
her knowledge in class but she graciously offers notes to help you continue the practice at home.  I thoroughly enjoy going to my yoga classes and
am looking forward to continued growth towards health and meditation.  Thank you Sandy for your inspirational, relaxing, and personalized
yoga classes!  I’m hooked! ~ Joann

I'm so happy to have become a member with Grounded by Yoga! I attend the Bloomfield studio and ever since I started almost a year ago, it's
changed my life. I've taken other yoga classes in the past, but this place compares to no other! Not only is the instructor, Sandy, sweet, caring and

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say "thanks so much" for yesterday!  Thoroughly enjoyed the class & look forward to starting each
Tuesday morning  that way ~ Joelle
WOW! I have tried  several studios &. Grounded By Yoga is most comprehensive! ‎‎ Through yoga, Sandy Hicks has taught me the importance of
physical, intellectual, and spiritual balance in my life, while continually challenging and motivating me. But most importantly, she has taught me to
live with compassion for myself and for others. You can tell she IS Yoga....she is always training (and boy do we miss her when she's gone!!) and it
is her priority - it shines through her from head to toe. ~ Jenny

A special Thank You to Sandy at Grounded By Yoga in Bloomfield.  Each Yoga experience I encounter through her studio makes me love the
process even more, and just walking into the building brings a calming feeling because I know that I will be given the best service I could possibly

What a wonderful Restorative Yoga workshop. The studio is amazing.  It is so warm and cozy and very nicely decorated.  It was just perfect and it
felt like a place to practice yoga.  The props are fantastic and the sandbags are amazing!   Also, the floor is perfect. I feel so safe on it!  The lighting
you have is so wonderful too!   ~ Sherie
Sandy has a great way of making everyone feel welcome and comfortable - no matter their skill or ability level. It is great to have a place like this
in Bloomfield. It allows me to actually take Yoga since everywhere else is just too far for me to travel. Thank you! ~ Beth
Sandy,
Thank you for a wonderful yoga session yesterday!  I felt great for the rest of the day. The Restorative Yoga was fabulous  I initially was a little
anxious about the afternoon after getting your note about 4-5 poses.  I thought to myself ‘oh, 4-5 poses, how will I ever stand being still that
long?’.  But of course, the session was so well done and I don’t know where the time flew!  What a gift
I loved the restorative class ! I have a very hard time relaxing and letting things go but when I come to Yoga everything changes ! I acknowledge
the thoughts and then push them aside and I truly let myself relax and be in and enjoy the moment!

I am so happy that I came to try Yoga - I so enjoy all of the classes I have taken ! ~ Tina
The restorative class yesterday…it was great! The first pose I really liked. I would do legs up the wall forever. The second one with the soles
(souls?) of the feet together was even better, very deep.  I was totally meditated during that one, and when you worked on my feet it was like
the carnival game where you hit the thing with the sledgehammer and the weight goes up the scale and you try to ring the bell at the top, only
you were sending pulses of energy up my spine into my head where they did a sort of mini-fireworks display. That was cool.  What a nice way to
spend an afternoon. Thanks, Joe
Enjoyed class last night as always and I am looking forward to the next beginner session.  Just learning where I should be applying the pressure in
studio that make what you do sooooooo special!  Also, my back was so sore when I came to class last night (just from being back to work and
sitting all week) and when I left, it felt great and I slept like a rock!! ~ Melody
