Testimonials
For quite some time, I've been aware of the benefits of Shiatsu massage and foot reflexology, but because I don't drive, I did not have the opportunity to experience it. On a recommendation of a friend, I was introduced to Mary Risman, who provides a mobile service, performed in the privacy and convenience of my home.
I suffer from chronic lower back and shoulder pain. Mary has been able, through Shiatsu massage, to almost eliminate the pain and I can comfortably use my treadmill and take Yoga classes. Foot reflexology is very beneficial for many ailments. I like to combine my massage with a session of reflexology.
Mary is extremely professional and she is very skilled at performing the treatments. You know immediately that you are in good hands. I highly recommend Mary to anyone who wants to improve their health and wellbeing.

After taking ballet/Jazz classes for years. I decided to try yoga, and was very surprised to learn that it wasn't boring at all. Then years later, after becoming a mother and being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I decided to give it a try again, not knowing for sure if I'd be able to do the poses. Thanks to Mary (Yoga Plus), I regained the strength I need to go about with my day of domestic "diva". Emotionally speaking the impact of yoga in my life has been huge. It gave me the confidence of knowing that I can go as far as I want, provided I respect my body and listen to it. I'm now back into the work force, and always look forward to coming to Yoga Plus for a very pleasant yoga session.

I began Yoga approximately the end of Jan 2008, I only had a couple of classes behind me and I was hooked.
I hadn’t much exercise built into my daily routine and really needed something for myself, well Yoga fit like a glove, so much so that I started to come twice a week!
As I have carpel tunnel in both wrists Mary has helped me out a lot to build up strength and I now don’t have anything close to the pain I used to deal with.
Emotionally and Mentally Yoga and Mary have really given me strength for my mind, body and soul to get through a lot of tough times I’ve been dealing with in my life.

I have been practicing yoga for the past two years, in that time I have tried a number of yoga instructors.
When I found Mary, I found someone who is both caring and deeply interested in each individual client, ensuring always ,that the excercise is suited to that persons needs and abilities.
I suffer from Parkinsons and have found yoga to be a key element in maintaining body flexibility.
I would whole heartedly recommend this gentle but effective form of exercise to all ages
Maria Gray. Cookstown.
As a young person, I loved practising yoga but gradually it slipped out of my life. I'm retired now and for years, miles of walking has been my only exercise. A diagnosis of osteoporosis several years ago, plus "frozen shoulder" about a year ago (the result of a fall), told me I needed to do more than "just walking". When I heard that someone, right on my street, taught yoga, I knew there was no excuse-time for yoga again. That is how I met Mary. After a month of 1 night a week classes, I knew I wanted to do 2 nights. Slowly but surely my body has stretched and strengthened. At the 6 month point I began to really see and feel the changes. One huge benefit is the change in my breathing-it used to be quite shallow. I focus now on keeping it deeper and steady, not just in class but at any time of the day, especially when stressed. I am also aware of my posture and body alignment which were not good. Yoga helps me to carry my body in a healthy and confident way. My thanks to Mary for two nights a week of happy, helpful yoga lessons and all the benefits they bring.

I have been a client of Yoga Plus for almost 18 months. I enjoy the Yoga classes immensely and find Mary very professional and knowledgeable. Rates are reasonable and my sessions have increased my flexibility and balance. Mary is super and always willing to work with me if I need to change my normal day or time. Going to classes in Mary's home studio is so much more pleasant than attending large classes at a recreation center or studio. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mary and Yoga Plus to friends and family alike.

I have had the pleasure of attending yoga classes at Yoga Plus for approximately 18 months. The Instructor, Mary Risman, is very knowledgeable. She presents the different yoga moves in a professional and instructive manner. Mary is a respectful and caring individual. While Mary encourages you to push yourself to learn new moves and stretches, she is also totally aware of an individual's capabilities and never pushes you to go beyond your own threshold.
Yoga Plus and Mary Risman are terrific. I would not hesitate to recommend Yoga Plus to a friend or colleague, and plan on continuing for the foreseeable future.
