"I used to take lots of pain killers for my back, but after your SCR yoga class I rarely use pain killers anymore."

"Great relaxation tips!  This could be done anywhere when I'm stressed.  The two (SCR) sessions gave me a new outlook at what yoga is."

"I enjoyed learning sitting yoga poses.  I am impressed by the way a brief stretch and essentially meditation can affect my mood."

"Marcus is exceptional at embodying and modeling the calm centered spirit he seeks to teach.  He pushes students to stretch further then we realize we can, yet is gentle in how he holds that space open for us."

"When I stepped into Dr. Penn's class, my neck was sore and my body was tired from not doing any consistent Yoga practice for over 9 months. When we started our opening meditative movement, my back began to ache from lack of core strength and I wanted to lie down. However, as we kept stretching , he encouraged me to stay with the movements and the pain eventually subsided.

As we moved on to new and more strenuous stretches, I found my strength increasing. By the end, I was free of neck and back pain and felt like a Yogi again.

Thanks Yogi Penn for returning me to a stronger body!"
