Testimonials

I feel as though Charlies's best quality as a Yoga instructor is his ability to connect to his students. I am lucky to have had my eyes opened into the 'Yoga world' by such a talented and genuine Yogi.

His individualistic approach to teaching is the perfect balance of challenge plus comfort' which creates a wonderful feeling from class to class. His enthusiasm and passion for the practice beams from his presence and is highly contagious. Charlie's eagerness to help others learn is admirable and I look forward to continuing my practice of Yoga with him!

Below is an unedited letter from one of his Senior students, Elaine White:

Dear Friends ~

It is my great pleasure and delight to share with you some very special photos of my process of healing, restoration, and wholeness through the yoga classes for seniors that I began taking several weeks ago. I can only describe these transformational experiences as a precious gift from God for which my gratitude is well beyond words. Every class unfolds like a blossoming flower whose fragrance is deeply spiritual enriching body, mind, and soul.

Our teacher is Charles Polanco Ali.

Because of his gentle and inspiring encouragement and the belief that I can do really do this yoga, I moved from a place of well maybe I can do this after all to now becoming serious about practicing yoga...yes, I am walking a whole lot better, I have much less pain, better balance, more flexibility and stamina, ... loving it all and having fun in the process.

Thank you very much Charles for being my teacher, for taking these shots that I can see the "proof" of my own yoga practice ... and I will be using them between classes.

And much appreciation to you my dear friends and loved ones for your wholehearted support to me on my yoga journey. Enjoy!
