"Six years ago, I got the diagnosis that I had Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was very busy with my mom, who was bedridden and a special needs grandson who was around 7. I was in pain management and was on Oxycontin, then Fentanyl. It started being worse on me than the actual pain. I had heard about a yoga studio opening in Eclectic. I had already researched the benefits of yoga but knew I would not stick with it if I had to drive to Montgomery. I started going to Harmony Yoga & Wellness Studio and got off pain pills. I had the attitude sometimes that I couldn't do that. But with Cammy's expert guidance, now I don't think there's anything I can't do. I have now been off pain pills for 3 years. My energy is mostly great. I do battle some with chronic fatigue, and when I am hurting, yoga takes away my pain. We have since adopted our grandson Zach. He's 13 now. We hike and ride bikes with him. We frequently travel all over the US in our travel trailer, exploring our great nation. Yoga and Cammy's guidance and patience with me have given me a new life. When I first got the diagnosis and researched RA, I thought my life was over. With yoga and Cammy's guidance, my life has just begun!"

"My experience with yoga has been amazing. I started my yoga journey in 2020. I was happy that Harmony Yoga offered live virtual classes due to me currently living in Birmingham, AL. I suffer from very tense and weak-muscles due to my hypothyroidism disorder and I can honestly say since starting yoga my muscles have relaxed and become stronger and so has my stress levels! As an entrepreneur, I have very stressful days and sometimes I am not able to make my yoga classes but thanks to the virtual group preloaded classes I can do yoga in the middle of the night! I want to thank the yoga instructors for creating this amazing yoga tribe and providing an opportunity for anyone to join virtually or in person they have a class for everyone. I consider the instructors family and I love them deeply."
