Son Hui,
Good afternoon. I'm so happy to write this email to you.
Yoga is one of those things that many times is measured in how much better we feel internally, mentally, physically, etc. But sometimes, the benefits are hard to quantify in numbers. I am happy to say I can quantify the benefits in addition to the great things I feel.
I told you a while back that my last attempt to quit my birth control pills ended up in disaster for me and ultimately I went back on them to regulate my body once again. After being off the pills for 6 months, my mensturation never returned. My cycle never got into the swing of things. All my hair was falling out and my face had acne like I never imagined it could.
Well, this time, the story is much different and I attribute it to Ashtanga Yoga and your loving care with the ginseng tea, etc. I am happy to say that after quitting my birth control pills in April, my cycle has returned. I just started my first menstration only 1.5 months after going off the pills. A much different number than over 6 months for my last attempt. My hair still falls out a bit, but I don't think it is as bad as last time. I have noticed an increase in acne, but now that my cylce is normalizing, I think it will go away.
I am so excited that this is the outcome. I believed yoga would help my body start regulating horomones and do what it is supposed to do, and it worked! I'm so happy.
Thanks so much Son Hui!
I will see you Saturday.
Namaskara,
M

Son Hui,
Here is my ode to you and Ashtanga. I have been wanting to add to your comments page on your website for a while and here it finally is:
Ashtanga has been a blessing in my life. I have been able to ease so much of my pain and heal my body. I have pushed my limits and challenged myself and have gained strength, flexibility and contentment with both.
I am so thankful to have found Son Hui. She is truely dedicated to healing her students, but also to teaching her students how they can heal themselves. Her knowledge and willingness are incredible. She has a gift and she constantly gives that gift to us.
Cheers to healing. - Becky
Hi Sonni,
I so wish that you could have seen me. When I got home, I could walk and stand so good for almost 2 hours. I was able to walk with one cane through the house. I was overcome with disbelief and emotion. No one was here to witness this, but me. It felt so good to stand tall and straight. It has worn off now, but it was wonderful and gives me more motivation to fight and reinforces hope.
All I can say is, "Thank you"
Liz :-)
Greetings Son Hui,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for working so hard with myself and my 80 year old mother. After two hip replacements, my body was naturally more stiff and my movements limited. The work we do together on balance, alignment and breathing has offered me so much more additional independence.
With my mom being diagnosed with alzheimers, your sessions give her strength, vitality and confidence as you work with her at her own pace. As we always say "her eyes have a sparkle" when we have finished.
If I could name one thing that I notice about you, is your ability to adapt yoga to any age, body-build or illness/condition. You have a sense about the person and always instill confidence, praising them. I never thought I could ever do any type of yoga with my physician condition, but you have opened my life to an experience that is both beneficial and rewarding.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Joyce (and Betty)
Hello Son Hui:
When I resumed my Ashtanga Yoga practice at Yi Yoga about ten weeks ago I was burned-out, tired all the time and experienced pain from head-to-toe. Today I feel like a new person. Although it was tough at first, Son Hui patiently worked with me and modified the poses with regard to my physical condition.
For me, Ashtanga Yoga is a way to integrate mind, body and spirit in a concrete and meaningful way. I feel overwhelmingly fortunate that I have the opportunity to practice with a teacher as generous, intuitive and skillful as Son Hui.

Son Hui,
Thank you for Saturday's class. It was intensely introspective for me. I realized that the little I have learned of Yoga in the past year is much smaller than I realized and that I need to work harder on internalizing what happens during my practice. It is a wonderful gift to be able to practice Yoga under your guidance.
Namaste
Melissa
Son Hui,
Thank you for doing class tuesday with us. it was a wonderful opportunity to see how real your practice is and how your journey is leading you. Seeing the breathwork in action is very helpful.
Thank you,
Amy
Hi Master Yi!
I just wanted to report to you my progress! After my treatment of Pavanamukasana on Saturday, I noticed that there is a lot more freedom in my upper back, and it is easier for me to do Shoulderstand, Plow, Headstand, and forward bends! I noticed a marketed improvement in my postures! It took a few days to really notice the results after the treatment, but they are there! And the pinching in between my shoulder blades is also greatly reduced!
May I schedule this Saturday at 2:15 when Melissa goes too if it is not booked?
Namaskara!
David
This student of yoga has found sanctuary at Yi Yoga in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. When I cross the threshold and step into the yoga studio, I move into a positive energy that instills hope for living life to the fullest extent possible with multiple sclerosis.
My time with Son Hui slips away much too quickly. Her skilled and guided hands are certain to find and manipulate problem areas that always result in relief to pain and stiffness. My teacher instills a belief in my ability to visualize improvement in symptoms, to build strength and begin physical and mental movement toward controlling the progression of this disease.
This yoga student believes it to be my destiny to have found Sonni to help me learn to make yoga my strength in living with ms. She continues to ardently influence me to try to turn hopelessness into hope.
Your grateful student,
Elizabeth
SONHUI,
There are no words to adequately express my profound gratitude to you for all you have done to help me.Your vast knowledge of YOGA and its benefits are unmatched!The people of Johnstown are blessed to have you! I have had a very difficult time with my curious illness (recently diagnosed as Parkinson's) and I am convinced that I am doing as well as I am due to your help .My doctor said taking instuction from you is the smartest thing I have done. You are truly an asset to this community!

Dear Son Hui
Thank you for the gift of Yoga...it is truly life changing. Finging you has been a blessing and for the first time I have hope that I can and will overcome my physical limitations with my knee and the onset of Arthritis. The mental benefits of Ashtanga Yoga is something I didn't expect when I started but am finding the greatest benefit of all! You are such a caring teacher and I am so grateful! I want to learn more and more and more!
Namaste
Patty
