The Gentle Therapeutics Yoga training completely created a new level of awareness as far as teaching is concerned. Having a teacher like Allaine was a true blessing. With patience, kindness and pure passion she opened a new door of knowledge that completely changed my yoga path. For that I am truly grateful. Allaine not only became my mentor but also a true and wonderful friend.

I’ve been taking private classes of gentle therapeutic yoga with my dear instructor Allaine for 15 years or so and it has changed my life. It’s calmed me, corrected my posture and alignment, kept me flexible and slowed the dreaded aging process. Most importantly, it’s provided me with a beautiful oasis of peace and spirituality. Allaine is the real deal – when she sees me she immediately knows what condition my body is in and creates a class that addresses those conditions. No two classes are exactly alike – it’s inspired yoga. She’s a beautiful spirit who radiates light and love.

Your class has become a gift that I give to myself! You are probably one of the most caring people I know. I love the the way you ask each and everyone of your students before the class begins if there is a particular problem that you should be aware of. Incorporating these issues in the session makes it seem as if the class is tailor made for each one of us. Then there is your spirituality, your soothing voice, and the beautiful metaphors that you use to explain the poses that guarantee me an hour of tranquility and bliss. Your class gives me the opportunity to just concentrate on the present and leave everything else behind…which is no easy task for a person who has a mind full of clutter!! And then there is the physical aspect of my yoga practice – you are continually helping me to help myself. I believe that our sessions aided me to overcome my bout with vertigo. I also believe that what I am learning through your guidance is helping me to control my back and neck issues. You are showing me how to strengthen my areas of weakness and gain control of the discomfort that I feel. I find myself taking my teachings out of the classroom and into my daily life. Now before I reach for an over the counter remedy I try a yoga remedy. For a “conventional” person this speaks volumes! To sum it all up – Gentle Therapeutics Yoga is an experience that absolutely needs to be experienced!!

Allaine Stricklen is a gifted, devoted and compassionate teacher. Because of her unique one-on-one teaching style, I learned much more than I would have in a group setting. Her lessons were tailored to my level of experience and my specific interest – therapeutics for older students and those with injuries. I did not just learn a list of poses, she taught me to use the full complexity and subtlety of yoga to help any student heal and grow. I also learned how to teach more effectively ina group setting, which is an art in itself. And most importantly, Allaine understood the transformation that I needed to go through as a person,and she guided me gently but firmly towards a much happier, more balanced life. I will forever be grateful for the time that I spent with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to go deeper on the path of yoga.

A ray of sunshine is what she is. Being apart of Allaine’s teacher training really changed my life in the most beautiful way. I Really didn’t want my testimonial to sound generic along with “how amazing everything was” but IT REALLY WAS. Everyday living and breathing yoga is the most beautiful and heart nurturing experience to living.

I learned so many interesting depths to Yoga. Not only has my practice strengthened greatly but my knowledge on the human mind, body and soul has tripled, while studying Gentle Therapeutics Yoga.
Through this loving learning environment Allaine creates with her beautiful presence, much self-growth will take place. I feel my soul has grown and strengthened tremendously. Everyday I am Happy it’s wild. Everyday I feel such a better understanding to life with constant and much gratitude. This whole experience literally has left me feeling suited up , armored and ready for my endeavors in this world. Armed with Peace, Love and Compassion. I have to say this has been one of the best things I have ever decided to do. I will always look back and treasure the jewels I made within myself and found in and out of this teacher training. It has truly been a beautiful new beginning …Most proud to say I am now a VEGAN … and would never look back !!

The first ever gentle therapeutics yoga that I experienced was at Brickell Yoga Shala, and Allaine Stricklen lead the class. I really did not know what to expect at the beginning but I knew from Allaine’s natural enthusiasm that I would enjoy her class and I did. From that point forward after each class my posture would improve more and more and in my self practice my alignment was changing and getting better.In addition the injury I had sustained in a car accident years ago left me with right hip pain. Now I am pain free and no longer feel discomfort. It is the perfect yoga to freeing yourself of pain or to simply get a break from the daily routine.

I have been coming to Allaine’s classes now for about 8 months, & I can honestly say that that my lower back pain has decreased, & I have more energy ..My back surgery was 3 yrs ago, & I still suffer from chronic back pain that radiates down my legs. Through Allaine’s classes, I feel like I have less back & leg pain, & I am able to move & stretch, & breathe through the pain & discomfort. Her classes are most definately a gift to myself. She is truly a gifted & caring person. . After each class, I feel like I have moved a part of my body that I have not moved or used or stretched in quite a while. She is most intuitive, & always knows what each of us needs each week to make our lives a little better. Thank you my dear for being you…….

Love,Marlene
