Hey - any chance of having a 6:00 AM class instead of 6:30 for us folks who'd like to get in a yoga class before work? Most of us 9 to 5'rs out there need to be at work at 8:30 or 9:00, and that extra half an hour in the AM would make all the difference!Anyways - LOVE your classes. All the teachers are great. Thanks for everything.Namaste

It's been 3 weeks since I first stepped into the world of power vinyasa yoga. Since then (and about 3 swimming pools of sweat lighter) I've learned to breathe, like a newborn baby going on 25. Many heartfelt thanks to everyone at the Cambridge studio for delivering me into a new world--the world of possibility! Namaste,

I've been going to your studio since July of this year. Your approach to Yoga is superb for physical, mental and emotional health. And Alyssa is an excellent instructor. Her demanding yet casual style is very inspiring and her positive personality is infectious.One suggestion for the studio, or perhaps selected classes. It would be nice to have some background music, like the Krishna Das CD continuing through class. I don't think it would be distracting. The enhanced ambiance would be still be calming yet energized.Nice job to your whole company!Michael Bettua

Hey! LOVE your classes and love the tapes too. I often do the tapes at home because the classes are not offered early enough in the morning. Ever think of having a 6:00 AM class? Most people have to be to work by 8:30 or 9:00 so I bet you would get more students at 6:00 than at 6:30 or 7:00. I know I'd be there!

A few years ago I took my first power yoga class in Avalon NJ. It was directed by Dana Baptiste. I have four of your tapes that I rotate and try to do 4 to 5 times a week in addition to biking, jogging (I ran my first Marathon in October)walking and skiing. Power yoga is my most favorite exercice of all. It feels so good for my body and I will be able to do it as long as I'm alive well into my old age. I have tried other power yoga tapes but they are nowheres near as great and complete a work out as yours. I look forward to ordering some new ones from you. I'm glad I found you!Kathy White

Hello,Last week I visited a friend in Switzerland, in his sparetime he is a yoga instructor. My first contact with yoga was last week, and i was very impressed of the videotape of baron Baptiste. I never realized that yoga was that tough. I felt great afterwards, while dureing the exercises i died 6 times in half an hour. I have tasted a little poweryoga, and now i want more!

At the risk of sounding trite, I want to say that taking classes at the Cambridge studio has CHANGED MY LIFE. Truly. I love all you guys so much. Thank you! Now, a question for anyone who can help-I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. I need to know if I can continue the yoga in the heat. Obviously I will be asking Doctors and any other people who could be resources, but ANYONE at all who would have insight, please email me at: munrat@hotmail.com. I would appreciate it. Also, I am interested in going to Mexico in March for the bootcamp. I wonder if 4 and one half month pregnant people are allowed. Please advise. NAMASTE!

After taking classes regularly at the Cambridge studio for the last year, I have to say it was probably the highlight of the year I spent in Boston. Tulum Boot Camp and the week-end workshop in Kripalu were even more inspiring than I could have imagined. I want to thank all the instructors - Baron, Rolf, Kate, Natalie, & Toby - for a wonderful and transforming experience. I hope to see you again at another Boot Camp!

Dear Baron, I know you must receive at least a billion emails but I wanted to relay how much of a blessing I receive from your staff and today, what an honor to be able to participate for the 1st time a class with you - especially for what you did for the ARC. You certainly gave me such a blessing. I started coming to BPYI in mid August and cannot begin to thank Natalie, Gregor, Rolf and Toby enough for their magnificent classes. What I receive during the class and what I am able to leave with is such a wonderful blessing - making me a better person in all areas, allowing me to share this with others. I look forward to each time I am able to go, and feel a void when I cannot. God bless you and your wonderful staff. Namaste, Paula Hart

I am a former fitness instructor-turned yogi and I loved Baron's approach to athletic-style yoga. His classes rejuvinated me, lifted me spiritually (at a time when we all need a little more "dog" in our life) and made me confident in my own teaching style. Thanks.

I just completed the Power Yoga weekend at Kripalu. It was an absolutely wonderful experience and clearly brought me to a deeper level of practice. As someone who only started my practice in April, I was a little worried to be in a class with people who were certified yoga instructors, but Baron's method encompassed and welcomed all levels. He inspired me to continue, just when I thought I could not go any further. That is a testament to his skill as a teacher. Many thanks to you, Baron and to your terrific staff. Please keep me informed if you plan to visit the New York/ New Jersey area. I plan to make the class at Kripalu a yearly event, as long as you keep teaching. Namaste.

I am living my dream teaching, and am inspired daily by the journey I am on. Thank you to Baron and his fantastic team for their willingness to share all that they know so well and for making themselves available on every level to encourage my growth. Hoping to make it the the Level 2 training soon! Perhaps Costa Rica?!? I can only hope. Thanks Again!

I felt a little out of place at first and was afraid I would not know as much as the others, or that I would make a fool of myself. Nothing could be further from the truth. I was actually proud of myself that I was able to do a lot more than I thought I could. I left feeling like a million bucks. I will defintely be back. THANKS!!!!

I have been practicing power yoga at your studio since December 2000. It has helped me in many ways. This past June I competed in the ANBC bodybuilding competition for Mr. Mass. I won the overall men’s open. Thanks to the power of yoga, I was able keep a steady focus during my training. I now weight train, between my sets and during, using the powerful tool of full body breathing. Many people think I am weird using this technique, I can see it in their faces. I wish people would have the courage to ask what I am doing so they can learn what they are missing. Good luck to them. Also, one of your students "Roman" encouraged me and helps in my routine posing for the June competition. I will continue spreading the word about your class. I have had many people tell me that I have inspired them to take your class and Roman's at super fitness gym in Watertown.I am going to compete in Sept for a national bodybuilding competition in NY City. I would like to wear a headband with the 3 ohms during my next posing routine. Do you know where I can get a print of this so I can have one made?I have pictures of me during my competition in June doing yoga poses. Are you interested in a picture for advertisement? If so, drop me a line.I will see you there this coming Monday with a new student "female" that is training for a bodybuilding competition in 4 weeks, her name is Heather Benoit. She also weight trains at super fitness in Watertown. I hope power yoga takes her to the next level in her bodybuilding training.ThanksNamaste,Tom

Hi, we're Cait and Tiff. We had Carolyn Bradely come to our camp and do power yoga with us! It was sooooo much fun, and we're only 12! ( Most people think kids HATE yoga. Its NOT true! ) We asked her where we could get videos, or books on it. She gave us your site, and told us that you were her instructor. She has 2 videos coming out in December, and we wanted to know (if you know)where we could get it whens it comes out. I think yoga is terrific, and that everyone should give a try.

Baron,I used to LOVE attending yoga classes at the center in Cambridge. Recently, I moved to New Jersey and I haven't found a Yoga Center quite like yours down here. I have a video tape of yours, but I find that my practice is that much better when I am in a class with others. Are you planning to open a Yoga Studio in NY/NJ? Is there someplace that you can recommend in this area? Sincerely,Elizabeth

I read with great interest (and enjoyment) the story in "Self" magazine about your retreat courses. I've been doing yoga (after being away from it since high school) an average of 4 or 5 times a week since January. During that time I have reduced my trips to the chiropractor to once or twice a month (as compared to once a week or more frequently) and I'm able to bend and stretch in ways (at age 42 and 30 pounds overweight) that would have been impossible when I was 34 and at my perfect weight. Yoga has given me the strength to (a) go off Prozac (b) start accepting my body for what it is (and what I can do with it) versus the number I see on the scale (c) start walking every single morning (versus hibernating in my self-pity and PMS - which I call "Poor Me Syndrome"). Oh yeah, and I forgot the most important thing - it is teaching me to be patient and accept each small progression as a personal accomplishment along a much longer (and greater) road. I work for a magazine that's based (in part) in Cambridge. Perhaps someday I'll be back in the area and can take one of your classes. Best regards, Lee Ann R.

I hope to meet him one day either at his boot camp, or one of his classes.Until then, I hope he continues to make lots of videos for those of us who are too far, but are very inspired by him.Thank you Baron!!!

I really desire that one day I will meet Baron in one of his bootcamps. I do not have his videos but one frined of mine showed and practiced one with me that I felt in love of his voice and the way he guide people in this practice. Good for you Baron...God bless you.

I just started teaching about 3 years ago, and have developed such an incredible passion for yoga, to the point that it is almost rediculous,(I mean this in a positive way!!!)., Since the last two years, after watching your first three Volumes of Power Yoga,I have begun to model my classes after you!! I so much identify with your style of teaching and just love your instructional guidance,... filled with sprituality. I plan on coming in August to Georgia for your teacher's training program,..can't wait.I have two students who want to become Instructors as well, and they are coming with me to Georgia!! Please Baron, if you are "home", send me a quick email, and let me know that you do read your email when you have the time!, i would very much appreciate it,... and i can not wait to meet you in person!! Again, thank you for being such an inspiration to me!! Love and Health, Effie Wood

Lancaster, PA - Thursday, March 22, 2001 9:41 PM

The bootcamp in Tulum was magical. The process when done with love and care is effortless. Doing 5-7 hours a day of yoga might seem like alot, but it becomes pure play and fun. You become like a child full of wonder and excitement. The only time when we are truly looked at as divinelike is when we are babies(farting and pooping bring happiness to adults faces,nothing a baby does is bad).The place of Tulum is built into the beach,you never need shoes, the food is divine, even the T-shirts we bought are big and soft as if you are wearing pajama tops. The YOGA is amazing after awhile you are so present and focused the mind stops and you are truly living in the moment......this is what all great gurus possess the ability to be here right now. This is what the bootcamp does it brings you back to being a child and being in the moment..filled with love and joy and divinelike. It is a shame we all forget that we are made in the image of G-d. Only when I sit with my stepdaughter's 3 month old babie(thats right I am a grandfather) do I see the divine like quality that is there in her....after this week I can see it in all people and mostly myself...it is always there but we just forget. The bootcamp will remind you that we are all a piece of the divine just whirling through space on this big blue-green marble we call Earth trying to make sense out of it all.Thanks Baron,Kate,and Rolf for being so wonderful,and loving.

Baron Baptiste is far and away the *best* yoga teacher I have EVER had the privilege of practicing with (and I have practiced with just about every single yoga teacher in Los Angeles!). I practiced with Baron at his Cambridge studio while I was in college, and now practice with his tapes (having moved back to California after graduating last June). His set of three tapes and the CD are INCREDIBLE. I just received them in the mail a few days ago, and have already practiced with each of them. They have given me tremendous inner strength, physical power, and positive energy. I have practiced with other yoga tapes in the past, but nothing even compares to Baron's tapes. Do yourself a favor and order them, especially if you no longer have the opportunity to practice with Baron in person...(like me, until we LA yogis convince him to move back here!;-).

Dear Baron & Friends-

This weekend @ Kripalu was freaking marvelous.

You provided such a profound space to slip right in toyoga, meditation, & spirit.

Your poetry continues to float through my calmer mindeven as the traffic honks by my concrete jungle window.

My dreams have been reignited and the altitude of myyogic attitude is still rising.

Bless your sweet hearts.See you south of the border in April.

So...here I am back in Vermont after this past weekend at Kripalu withBaron, still feeling the practice. Physically and more so, energetically.Buzzed, ...high.

I have this small sort of ghetto Astanga class that I lead in JohnsonVermont in the drawing studio of an art school and community. I come intotonight's class (Monday) charged. I tell them about my weekend, how I got mybutt kicked, how much I learned, how I feel I have been turned on to the waymy body has always wanted to interpret the Astanga practice.

I asked them if they would like me to show them what I mean. They allenthusiastically said "Yes!" So there we went. I led them, with a newfoundenergy and love, into the best and hottest practice we had ever donetogether. Everyone flipped they loved it so much. My newer students saidthat holding the postures longer and giving more attention to the intendedenergy of the asana, and alignment, actually made it easier for them tofollow (though physically more demanding). My die hard Astangis, who I wasmost worried about pisssing off, LOVED it.

For me as a full time student and part time teacher, I feel as I havefinally been given affirmation to what my physical, personality and energybodies knew the whole time. That this great thing that I loved to do(Astanga) could even be so much better.

As I was trying to express to Baron, I feel like a little kid that lovedcoloring, and someone finally said, "You know, it's ok to color outside thelines"

For whatever reason, teaching groups has ended up being something I dowell. In the old days at the gym, my classes ended up being the big numbersin attendance and my boss loved it. I was always considered kind of the gym"hippie" because I snuck yoga in my warm ups and cool downs and never boughtinto that whole gym image. I had fun with people, I kicked their butt, madethem laugh, treated them like real people.

That is the personality base that I teach from. Since I found yoga formyself, and then finally Astanga, I new I was in for the long haul. As muchas I LOVE my practice, something was always missing. Until now!!!

Thank You, thank you, thank you. Sorry for all the drivel, but thisstuff happens when major shifts move your life. And this was big time for me.

I will be down to study with you all in Cambridge. Do you allow peopleto observe classes? I would love to sit and watch for a while too if thatscool.

See you soon. Love and respect,

Dear Baron,
I wanted to thank you for the weekend at Kirpalu. They were intense classes but I loved the challange. Your style is smooth and intelligent. It was a true test of using the breath and just letting yourself go into bliss. All of the assistants were so gentle in touch when they help assist us into the postures. Namaste

I was recently introduced to Power Yoga and a friend in Philadelphia, PA mentioned to me Baron's name. I'm Hooked I've been battling a pelvic tilt ( leg length discrepincy ) brought on by chronic muscle tightness/ spasm in my adductors and hip muscles! Not much fun... I just purchased " No more aching Back"," Hot Yoga 3 " and " Power & Precision ". In 4 years I've not been able to find anything / anyone who could really help me. After 3 Power Yoga classes I really think Im seeing results ( thank God! ). I wanted to by a T shirt also, but not available in XL. Please comment back

I'd like to know if anyone out there has had this experience after working with Baron. The first time I participated in a two-day workshop. That night, I had extremely vivid dreams - they frightened me they were so vivid. I didn't pay much attention. Then I attended his Tulum retreat while I was pregnant. Immediately after the retreat I had again, very, very vivid dreams. I cannot note here what the dreams were about, however I can tell you I now know they were a foretelling - a sign of something happening in my life. What I dreamed, almost to the detail, became my reality this week. This is really bizzare and I'd like to know if others have experienced it. To be honest, despite the benefits of yoga, it's really made me chicken to begin again.

O.K. - I've done Rodney Yee, Eric Schiffman, Richard Freeman, and money other "big name" yoga teachers. I'm an "experienced" yogini. But I must tell you - I had a weekend workshop with Baron and I got more than most of my others "authentic" yoga experiences, classes and workshops combined! I have not been the same person since! My approach toward life, yoga practice and other people has been elevated to a whole other level of depth and gratitude... I'm not the glazed eyed fan club -- devotee type of person. I am usually very careful about putting my stamp of approval on any one teacher, but my experience was very real and life changing. Baron may be controversial, but he is the real thing. Even if I wanted to say it wasn't true, I am still walking through the world in a different state of awareness. Somehow how yoga practice now makes sense.

Hi Baron. I studied yoga with your parents several times. I was introduced to them through Bill Kelly a long time student of them. Bill and I spent Christmas of 95 with them in El Salvador. I am currently doing the Yoga Teachers Training Course with Jivamukti Yoga Center and I think about your parents all the time. I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Yoga through such a wonderful couple. I hope our paths cross in the near future. I would love to take one of your classes. Please send Walt and Magana my love. I hope they are both well. I wish you and them a blissful New Year!!!!Maria Preuster
