Here’s what yoga students of all ages, shapes, and sizes have to say about Hannah Callaway’s teaching:
“Hannah provides a safe, comfortable and challenging environment for practicing yoga. What I have learned from Hannah is that yoga is more than simply an exercise program: it is a way of focusing my mind, challenging my body and learning to let go and relax.” ~Leanne Hill, Vallejo, California
“Hannah is a gifted teacher who structures her class for students of all levels. Many aspects of my life have improved since working with Hannah; in particular, I seem to have greater inner peace and manage to stay calm in crisis—I now "breathe" through situations that used to trigger great anxiety, mood swings or an eating binge. I can't say enough positive things about Hannah and her most excellent teaching!” ~Beth H., Vallejo, California
“I was 100 pounds overweight, and had always wanted to try yoga, but was under the misconception that yoga was only for the 20-year-old with her leg behind her head. When I finally worked up the courage to call, Hannah patiently listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and explained the many benefits, giving me enough assurance that I decided to try that first class—and was immediately hooked! Yoga is fun, yoga makes me feel good, yoga makes me feel like I am doing something wonderful for my body and my soul. I now attend group practice once a week and private practice every other week. Yoga is for everyone and anyone. You just need to give it a try and have a good teacher like Hannah.” ~Paulette Nash, Vallejo, California
“Hannah’s beginning-level yoga classes have been a great way to get back into yoga after a hiatus of many years. Her teaching has allowed me to substantially improve my strength and posture , along with helping me find a greater a sense of gracefulness and peacefulness. She is a superb teacher, focusing individual attention on each student in each class. My Sunday morning classes with Hannah help me begin the coming week with a renewed sense of self and purpose.” ~Misty Youmans, Vallejo, California
“Hannah is always willing to help me find an alternative way to deal with specific difficulties, while still teaching the integrity of the pose. She also tries to “frame” or describe how to practice a pose in as many ways as it takes to get everyone in the class to understand. I always feel accepted at my level of proficiency. I’m never made to feel my limitations are my fault (not trying hard enough or practicing enough) or that I can’t overcome them in time.” ~Leah Drury, Vallejo, California
“Though in the past I was an athlete, I hadn't done yoga before. From the first class, I felt welcomed, not just in words but by the whole space that Hannah had created. One time, Hannah demonstrated a backbending movement and I thought "No way! I'll never be able to do that!" Hannah skillfully prepared us with movements that gradually worked our way to the backbend and, surpisingly, I did it! Now, if my back starts to bother me, I use the mental and physical preparation I learned that day for the backbend and I get instant relief.” ~Diana Lang, Vallejo, California
“Having yoga in my life has allowed me to be a stronger athlete. I now have more flexibility than most of my younger friends! My mind is much quieter, and I have a stronger sense of focus. Hannah’s yoga classes are very spiritual, open-hearted and safe. At the end of my yoga practice, I feel peaceful, as though I have spent an hour in a temple. “~ Laura O’Leary, American Canyon, California
"After 20+ years of experience in ballet and other forms of dance including yoga, I can honestly say I've had very few instructors that have had the same impact on my yoga practice as Hannah Callaway has. She has a way of making her students feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. If you're thinking about trying yoga for the first time, I would highly recommend taking a class with Hannah. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, it's definitely an experience you'll not forget." ~Shannan Catinella, Vallejo, California
"We are typical Americans with high stress careers. Yoga with Hannah has been a wonderful experience, especially after trying other classes that didn’t teach us as much as we wanted. Our breathing has improved along with our posture and stress levels. The best part: we both understand what we are doing and why! Of course we have a long way to go but it is a wonderful journey, and we plan to take it with Hannah instructing us." ~ Chris and Haroon, Vallejo, California
