Two years after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I began my practice of yoga at age 51 at Radiance in January 2007 under the professional and expert guidance of Aura Fechter. Yoga is keeping me out of a wheelchair. Aura, and four of her teaching staff members, Dinah Cascalon, Himanshu Kapoor (aka Hari Yoga), JoAnn Edwards, and Alison Scola, through their respective teaching styles, are helping me achieve new heights in my yoga practice daily. I experience feelings of exhilaration, euphoria, and relaxation after every private session I have with my teachers which helps me deal with the stress of a high pressure and demanding career. I am forever grateful. Yoga is art, science, theater, and magic combined.
  It has changed my life.    Richard P. 

   I have attended many different yoga studios in the past, and none of them ever “clicked” until I came to Radiance. The studio welcomes you with a warm and calming atmosphere, while it is also bright, clean and spacious. The staff will make you feel right at home, whether you are a yoga veteran or brand-new to yoga. I have “sampled” a few different instructors and all of the classes are outstanding. I attend Peggy’s stretch and relax class on a regular basis and I absolutely love it. I can finally say I have found a yoga studio that I’ll be sticking with.
  Keep up the good work and thank you!

   Love Radiance and the teachers. The stretch class has given me back flexibility that I thought would be gone forever.
  I look forward to the happy atmosphere and the great camaraderie.    Margaret C. 

   I came to Radiance seeking a non-pharmaceudical solution to panic attacks in my mid-20s. Now approaching my mid-40s I can say Radiance not only helped me find an outlet for stress, but also an outlook on life. The teachers at Radiance are the true difference, each of them bringing a unique personality and style to teaching that I treasure.
  Namaste.    Tammy Haughey 

   I began yoga at Radiance knowing nothing. I come back to this warm and supportive place to grow in my yoga practice. Yoga has strengthened my mind and body and I can’t imagine how I would have gotten 12 years older without yoga at Radiance. Radiance gives me the place to just be and learn.
  Peace.    Mary L. 

   I have been taking classes at Radiance for 15 years. I take 4 classes a week, each with a different teacher. Each class gives me a special experience with my Yoga and each is as equally fulfilling.
  Thanks to all of you.    Judy McElroy 

   I love Radiance Yoga. It is part of the things that make Mission Hills great.
   And Dinah is great too!    John W. 

   I look forward to celebrating my 87th birthday in September of this year, and I am still walking without assistance and dancing. I am not afflicted with any of the mental or physical ailments that normally affect the elderly. I attribute my good health and well-being to my yoga classes at Radiance Yoga Center unter the directions of my very special
instructor, Peggy, who makes every student feel like a superstar.    Marjerie O. 

   I am a middle-aged woman who feels much younger, thanks to my yoga classes at Radiance Yoga Center with my beloved instuctor, Peggy, which keep me limber, strong, and in good spirits.    Rae T. 

   I have attended about 3 years of yoga at Radiance and notice that my body cries out for the theraputic effects, if I do not attend regularly. I thoroughly enjoy Peggy's Stretch and Relaxation class, and it has helped my aching back considerably. Plus, it is a lot of fun.
  Kudos to everyone at Radiance.    Jeannie L. 

   I've been coming to Radiance Yoga since 1995 and have always appreciated the high quality experience. I've taken classes from most instructors and while each one is unique in what they offer, they all are attentive and happily tailor the experience to the abilities and energies of each student. I've been taking private sessions from Aura since 2001 and am stronger, more flexible and more centered because of her teaching. She is a very precise and thoughtful teacher and always customizes the session to me, whether it's working around an injury or pushing me to reach heights I didn't know I could achieve.
  The new studio is a delight. It's spacious and beautiful and is an uplifting place to be. I always feel great after being at Radiance. I highly recommend Aura and her team of wonderful instructors.
  Thanks for keeping me healthy, centered and happy!    Amy B. 

   I have been doing yoga at the Radiance Center for over 10 years. Aura, the owner, has a unique ability to adapt postures and exercises so that even after a serious shoulder injury and foot surgery I was able to continue to stretch and maintain strength. It has made a tremendous difference in my life, both physically and mentally.
   I have also had therapeutic massages with Deborah once a week and this is an added bonus to have right after a yoga session. The massage helps to work on scar tissue from injuries and helps to maintain pain-free flexibility. I would also add that Mara, Dinah and JoAnn are all adept at modifying postures and positions to help compensate for injuries.    Rena M. 

   I have over 40 years of daily training logs, so it’s fair to say fitness is my hobby or obsession. I would not be able to continue my training had it not been for the patience, guidance and discipline of Radiance Yoga under the tutelage of Aura and Dinah.
   Thanks to them I look forward to another 40 years of training logs.    Tom Di Zinno 

   We have been taking yoga classes weekly at Radiance since 1995. The instructors are skilled and nurturing. The lovely new studio is probably the best in San Diego. And our lives have been profoundly improved both physically and mentally from our Radiance experience.
    We can not thank Aura and her team enough for all they have done for us.

   Recovering from a serious illness, I accompanied my wife so she could resume her neglected yoga classes while still keeping an eye on me. I was hooked from that very first class and I am so appreciative of the many benefits I have received. I owe much of the increase in my muscle strength, flexibility and balance to the classes at Radiance Yoga.

   Mondays and Wednesdays with Peggy and the gang is the highlight of my week. All other appointments have to fit around the Stretch and Relaxation Class. I travel 10 miles on the freeway to get to yoga and no matter how tired or stressed I arrive, I always leave relaxed and rejuvenated. I'm a different person on the 10 miles back home. Ask any commuter on the I 8! Thank you! Thank you!    Rachell C.
