Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment. -Thomas Mann
“This quotation best sums up the vital life lesson that I have learned and continue to learn from Savita during our Hakomi sessions. In that one hour, Savita stands as a clear and non-judgmental reflection of the present moment that allows me to recover those parts of myself imprisoned in past identities or lost in future forebodings. When I leave, I am aware once again that I am complete–embracing myself exactly as I am now. Savita’s gift is that she gently guides us into the experience of the sacred moment, and most of all, guides us into the experience of the sacredness of our being. ” - Karen G. Laguna Beach,CA
“Using Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Savita has shared with me how do heal both, physical and emotional pain. For a person living with chronic pain and exhaustion for many years, I had become someone who had grieved over the loss of physical abilities.
I now have found hidden reserves of energy. I experience life more fully and use my new skills every day.“ - Diane B. Huntington Beach, CA
“Chronic pain from a failed back surgery and neck cancer led me down a dead end of prescription morphine and despair. I believed my life was over when Savita introduced me to yoga. I remain amazed at the healing powers of this unique therapy. Savita has guided me to a life path of physical, emotional and spiritual health. It works… it truly works.” - Brad W., San Diego, CA
“Savita’s clarity and just being there as a facilitator/supporter without judgment was medicine for my wounded spirit. Her loving, non-judgmental support along with the physical positions of going beyond what I thought I could do, were balm to my aching body/mind/spirit as I worked through destructive patterns that I had developed in order to survive in a world that seemed most threatening. Thank you for helping me see my own power.” -Peggy C., Leucadia, CA
“When I began therapy with Savita I had some anxiety because of failed physical therapy in the past. I was frightened and in pain, having suffered seven very painful fractured vertebra from osteoporosis. Surgery had not eliminated my pain. Since this yoga therapy is unique and unlike traditional physical therapy, I thrived. I do not have the dowager’s hump of osteoporosis many women my age (82) have; I am active and independent, free of pain medication and feel much more at ease with myself and life.” - Annette S., SJC, CA
“Many years of addictive mood-altering drugs, prescribed to me by doctors who took countless notes about my constant complaint of living in this life, have not changed my fear and self loathing. Savita takes no such notes. She walked into my life and put her finger on the pain that lives in the heart of me. She looked into my eyes and saw the terrified child hiding there who is afraid to speak the truth. Through the Hakomi work we have done together I am beginning to realize that getting to know such truth as well as myself is becoming less and less frightening and actually is introducing a lot more calmness and peace into my life. Savita is a teacher and a healer; she lays out the stones for you to walk upon, fully investing herself to help you in this process.“ -Faro D., Laguna Niguel, CA
