"Zhanna's style in teaching yoga is graceful, confident, supportive and uplifting. I started taking her classes in October 2005 and have developed abilities past my expectations. I have developed such love for yoga and an incredibly healthy body as proof. Before I started practicing yoga I was a size 12, I had chronic pain in my back, knees and neck, and suffered from asthma. I am now a size 4, have been pain free for 18 months, and I have not used my asthma inhaler at all for past 1.5 years. I am truly confident in giving credit for my personal success to Zhanna's yoga classes". Tricia Ptak, Plymouth, MI
