So nice to see you online so that all of America (and everywhere else for that matter) can discover what I did over 10 years ago...namely that Baron is the catalyst for anyone seeking peace of mind. The physical benefits are merely consequential. His manner causes everyone to feel nurtured, while still pushing you to work hard.

Thank you! I don't know if you realize the level of influence you have on peoples lives - I must tell you it is significant. I think it's high time the yoga community wake up and realize what a tremendous resource they have in Baron Baptiste. He is the real deal!

I really get so, so much from your classes. I've been a relatively long time student of Pattabi Jois (3 years) and Iyengar (4 years). You seem to have some how discovered how to bring it all together for me and for others. When I first took your class 5 months ago I had the revelation deep inside myself - that "this is how yoga is supposed to be." My past "fanaticism" for Pattabi's Astanga seems so silly and meaningless to me now. I don't even really understand why - other than you have obviously taken the journey and you have been able to communicate that in the most effective manner. Thank you for helping me become a more mature yogini! It's very freeing and empowering. Namaste!

Just wanted to drop a note of thanks.I have all of your videos and alternate between #2 and #3, and Power andPrecision for my "light" days. Your tapes have made such a differencein every area of my life! I recently began running again, after a twoyear break! I experienced minimal soreness. I had stopped because myknees and lower back would kill me when I ran. But, I think my yogapractice has eliminated those problems!I have given your tapes to several friends and my mother. And we allagree...YOU RULE!!! So thanks and looking forward to any new productsyou have coming out. Is there a mail list I can get on? Thanks again

Thank you! Baron you have helped me through a challenging time in my life. You helped me really get it that life is nothing but lessons and therefore I have become a better person rather than bitter. My body has never ever felt so strong, agile and free. I feel that I have a whole new destiny. I have lived most of my life in a trance - I have been awakened. You have given me the gift of life.

WOW! I have been doing yoga for a long time and I've never felt so connected, inspired, challenged, meditative and uplifted in a class or by a teacher! Honestly when I saw about a hundred people pouring into the classroom - I really thought I was going to hate it just because of the over-crowdedness of it. But frankly I never ever felt so connected and harmonious with a group of people in a room at one time. Baron you lead us like the master conductor of a symphony orchestra. THANK YOU!

Baron!!!I have been searching the internet for months trying to find you!! I was astudent of your student, Ann Avery, in Los Angeles about 5 years ago. Ipurchased a video of yours through her and have been wanting to buy newerones. I thought I had seen an ad in a magazine, but wasn't able to find itagain so began searching the internet unsuccessfully.To say that your tapes and Ann's classes changed my life would be anunderstatement. I had tried yoga many years earlier, and found it tooboring. It wasn't physically challenging enough. I had always been a veryactive child, playing soccer, mountain biking, rollerblading, hiking theCatskill mountains, etc. At 19 I was afflicted with the Epstein Barr virus.Struggling with fatigue I wasn't able to exercise like I had in the past butI needed to get regular exercise to strengthen my immune system. After thefirst class I took of Ann's I was hooked. It was challenging enough tosatisfy the active, aggressive part of me, yet gentle enough not to wear meout for days like most aerobics classes and soccer had. I took her class atLA Fitness for almost a year before moving to South Carolina.I went on to study on my own for many years reading every book I could andtaking every class I could find. I eventually taught classes in HiltonHead, SC for tennis pros and a group with Fiber Myalgia. Now I live in NewJersey and practice on my own (although I've gotten my boyfriend, a mountainbike racer, hooked on it!). I just turned 30 and after 2 solid years ofregular practice, I've never looked or felt better! I've lost 25 lbs, also.Aside from the physical benefit, the inner peace it's brought me has been atremendous help in overcoming a disease that is aggravated by stress.Just wanted to say thanks. I was so happy to get your email. But I've beenin a place in my life for years where I tend to get exactly what I wish for,so I wasn't surprised. I'm sure you are well aware of many others withsimilar stories, just wanted to add one more -- I'll definitely be orderingyour tapes soon!Namaste -

I took classes with Baron last year. WONDERFUL! BRAVO! My daily practice (with his videos) has transformed my life, my mind, my body & spirit. I share them with all my friends and they love them too. The practice is part of me now, I combine it with Vippassana Meditation. I am sure many people in Sweden would love to have the experience of learning about yoga and life from Baron - Many thanks.

Baron, your classes rock!!! I've been doing yoga for about a year now. After years of aerobics and weight training, and some Astanga yoga -- my body was feeling absolutely spent. I would wake-up every morning with a tight lower back, tightness in my hips and eventually stopped working out all together. I discovered your tapes and they changed my life -- I've had about five "Baron Live" classes and they swept me off my feet -- physically, mentally and spiritually. My body feels strong and limber. My focus & my faith have improved and I've reconnected with my spiritual side. Thanks for your great work. Please keep me informed of any new tapes, books, retreats, etc. Namaste

I thoroughly enjoy your tapes (level 2 & 3) and want more!!! And Baron your inner strength & energy is so great - you seem destined for greatness - thanks for being you and sharing that.²

I was happy to find out that i was able to get strong much quicker than i thought. I am keeping up my practice because of the difference it is making for me on all levels, Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical ! Thank you for giving me a transformation on these levels!²

I absolutely love your videos! You have a very calming, soothing presence. Precise instruction, care and attention to every minute detail-- I have a great sense of being there. You are so detail-oriented, I hardly have to look at the TV to see what you're talking about. Please put me on your mailing list, and if you ever come to Los Angeles or Santa Barbara, PLEASE let me know. Of all the videos I own, yoga, weights, cardio, etc. yours rank #1 across the board. I highly recommend your videos to all my friends. Keep up the high class work!

ok, ok no pressure being the first to add to the guestbook ;) seriously though- your yoga classes are absolutely incredible. just the right balance of wit, wisdom, sweat, heat, motivation and 90 minutes of a simply powerful flow of yogic postures. i have been going 4-5 times a week for the last 3 months and can honestly say that i have already seen significant (and positive!) changes in various aspects of my life that i directly attribute to yoga. namaste!
