Read what past Personal Revolution Weekend participants have to say

Thank you so much for such a wonderful weekend. I cannot believe how great I felt and how much this weekend has changed my way of thinking. Three years ago I was diagnosed with serious breast cancer I never thought I would do my yoga again. I was only 30 years old....so after a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and chemotherapy I could barely do a cobra nor a downdog. But here I was this past weekend in NYC with my 2 best friends celebrating life and hanging tough with all the yogies. I had never experienced a HOT yoga room we don't have any where I live. I LOVED IT! What do you suggest I can get to heat my room I have at home a space heater or a heater lamp? What a great teacher Baron is and the assistants couldn't have worked harder! I loved it Thank you for giving me my strength back

Baron and Staff: Thanks for such a great weekend! You made me work so hard and by the end my body was so grateful for the opportunity (I say the end because I was not feeling that way half way thru the day!!) ... my whole being is shining:

Words don't seem to do justice to describe the incredible weekend retreat I just experienced in Seattle with Baron It was magical, healthy, vibrant, joyous, clarifying, healing -- I could go on and on. Thank you, Baron. Thank you for sharing your gifts... I shared with you how I acquired your book one year ago from a friend who bought it for me when I was in the hospital after a mastectomy. Your book has been at my side and offered clarification during my journey into chemo and into survivorship.

Thanks for everything Baron!! I had a wonderful experience during the revolution weekend in Seattle. I taught my yoga class the next day and recieved emails telling me it was one of the best classes they have attended. I owe it all to your inspiring wisdom.

Dear Baron, I just attended your Journey Into Power workshop in Seattle over the weekend and it was absolutely incredible! I love this type of yoga and it resonates with me on every level. When you asked me if I was teaching yet, I knew that was the confirmation I needed at that moment. Hearing you say that confirmed to me that I am on the right path. I have a ways to go in healing myself and this yoga program has put me on the fast track toward that healing. As I grow into the person I am meant to be, I know I will have so much to offer by teaching this yoga. I am a living, breathing, walking, talking miracle and your program and philosophy is so much a part of miracle. I can't wait to share that with others.

Fresh from the weekend in Seattle. All I can say is Wow!! If I wasn't hooked on Yoga before today, I am now. What an inspirational weekend. My body thanks you. We shall meet again my friend.
- Dana Fayette, Kirkland, WA

Baron, I didn't take the opportunity to thank you for tha awesome weekend in Seattle. I experienced many wonderful breakthroughs, not so much in body, but in my understanding and joy. I remember now that my authentic self is so full of joy and that yoga is actually fun! I can't say in words how much this meant to me...
- Michel Wubank Spruance, Seattle, WA

These are some words that come to mind after the Dallas Wknd Bootcamp: Amazing. Intense. Exhausting. Uplifting. Inspiring. These words cannot come close to explaining the feelings of the weekend! I truly loved it!

Dear Baron, I attended your weekend retreat recently in Dallas and the program truly touched a deep place inside me. As a military member I have struggled on the mat since 9-11. Mainly because at that point in my life I was teaching, working with troubled youth, walking, practicing yoga and learning about myself. 9-11 threw me once again into the military life. I was returned to active duty because in my specialty the Air Force is short and because I have always been drawn to serving my nation. Even though this is where my path has led me, my heart has struggled. I found this weekend my struggle on the mat was accepting my place in the military. I have not found the answer to the struggle, but am happy to at least recognize it.

Baron, I attended your workshop this past weekend in Dallas, TX. It was one of the best experiences. As a new student to yoga I have to say I am now hooked. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us. I hope to attend a bootcamp soon.
- Penny James, Garland, TX

Just retuned from personal revolution weekend in Dallas, absolutely awesome. Baron and everyone involved was superb, at the end of the final class, Baron brought us to standing Namaste, tears poured down my face, I do not know why and it does matter, I loved every moment.
- L.A. Landry, Baton Rouge, LA

Dallas personal revolution weekend! It is so awesome when you realize there is definitely a higher power in control of your life and you are significant. Thank you... I feel God definitely used you to speak to me this weekend.
- Julie Meyers, Ruston, LA

aron I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your workshop this past weekend in Dallas. In 1998, I attended a Renewal weekend at my Catholic Church. The weekend was a spiritual cleansing. It helped cleanse the heart, and surround myself in God's love and forgiveness. After the weekend, I was floating on a cloud because of the happiness in my heart and mind and knowing I had been set free of the past... Your workshop made me feel the happiness I felt after the renewal weekend. It was a different feeling not really a cleansing of the heart from hurt or guilt, but a cleansing of the mind. Everything seems to be crystal clear and sharp. The connection with my practice and my tight spots in my body make sense to me now.

I really, really enjoyed the BARON'S PERSONAL REVOLUTION WEEKEND that was held in Dallas, TX on February 4 and 5, 2005. The instructions and teachings received during that weekend have changed my life forever! Baron has such a way of letting the "power of love" comes out in his teaching. Whereas, the poses you consider difficult - now become easy. Why? Because Baron shows you how to become one with your Yoga mat. His teachings help with the renewing of the mind, which will help retrain the body. I highly recommend Baron's teaching to anyone who takes or teaches Yoga! Because of this weekend with Baron, it is now one of my greatest desires - to take Baron's teacher training certification programs or anything type of training that he offers. Thank you Baron for allowing truth, peace, wisdom and love to rule and rest in your being.

The Personal Revolution Weekend in Boston was fantastic. I am more impressed than ever (after five years of happy regular attendance at the Cambridge studio's classes) with Baron's exceptional teaching and inspiring presence, the wisdom and care shown by the angelic assistants and the seamless quality of the weekend as ensured by the wonderful BPYI staff. It was magic.
- Martha Hall, Cambridge, MA

I have not fully comprehended the effects of the Boston Personal Revolution Weekend, but I know what I feel and how I felt last night and that is truly all that matters. I left with a HUGE WIDE smile on my face. I was just very very happy and light. It was a feeling of pure joy. I feel strong and motivated to confront things I have not wanted to do or had the energy to do. I love the feeling of clarity and cleanness and energy that comes from a good practice. This was two consecutive days of it. I can not wait to get back to the mat. It is an extraordinary, rare, indescribable feeling and I would encourage ANYONE to give it a try. I had no expectations. I certainly did not expect to feel so happy.

This was my first workshop of any kind ever. Hearing 250 peole chant OM in unison was worth it alone. What a beautiful sound. I came in on Friday afternoon, all the while on the road on my cell phone listening to an angry client on the phone screaming her head off at me because I was not at the office, although I had scheduled this afternoon off. I could do nothing and came to our first night a bundle of nerves. I left that evening so light and free. I allowed myself to just surrender to this weekend. I have never practiced so much in such a short time and although I am sore I feel as if I could practice again and again, I truly made big strides this weekend and look forward to taking it to my practice here at home. I can't wait to come to the next retreat. I want to thank Baron for sharing his practice with me and all the wonderful assistants who helped me along the way. You were all so generous with your time. Namaste!
- Roni, Stamford, CT

Thanks for a great weekend of excellent practice. I had several fears going in: that it would be too hard and that Baron would act the part of a "guru" and I would get turned off. As with most fears, they did not materialize. Instead, I found the Practice challenging, but invigorating and Baron a great teacher who doesn't pretend to have all the answers. I am thankful for my practice and for the way it's changed me!
- Jennifer Colleran, Wayne, PA

What a remarkable time. Nearly 250 individuals coming together in one large class and did we WORK! It culminated with a very personal and emotional experience for me Friday night...while listening to Krishna Das as we were wrapping up, all singing together, clapping in unison, I found myself in a very pleasant trance-like state, looking out into the harbor, and had a very spiritual experience of connecting with my grandmother (since passed) who I was very close to; a tear of joy came to my eye knowing I am greatly cared for and watched over! Thanks for a great experience! It was very affirming, centering, and a great reminder to "simply BE!!!". Loved it all!
- Tom Fronczak, Providence, RI

Thank you for a weekend of love, and beautiful challenge. I'm so thankful to have experienced such intense practice. Your promises of focus, and clarity were truly met, and each practice session was a revelation for me. Thank you Baron for your discussions and insight.
