Martia’s class seemed aimed directly at me this week, because it offered what I most needed.
In situations both on and off the mat I was left feeling stronger, more resilient and empowered after enacting the only meaningful change I could-conquering and quieting my own mind. And that made all the difference.

We get the full extent of everything we need to know. And because of that we come away filled with confidence and the knowledge that we can do our very best as a yoga therapist and teacher. It is truly a wonderful spiritual experience; one of growth and learning about the body, heart, and mind.

What does Black Mountain Yoga do for me? When I walk thru the door it feels like family everyone is so sincerely caring and interested in each other… such warm feelings are shared. Then there is the pain in each bone and I wonder, how can I do “down dog” today? By the time the class is over all the pain is gone as we have stretched and relaxed the pain away. It is nothing short of a miracle.

I had my first lesson in voice coaching…and my teacher said for a first-time student I understood and performed this technique better than any other person that she had worked with to date. I completely credit this to the focused pranayama I participate in at Black Mountain Yoga, primarily under Martia’s care.

It’s been a true deepening for me. This training is the guidebook to a healthier, fuller life. If Yoga Therapy is what you want to learn than take this training.

I love Black Mountain Yoga! The teachers, space, and classes are wonderful. I have been going to this studio since its inception and everyone who works there, including the owners Dr. Brad and Martia Rachman, make you feel like family. Highly, highly recommended if you live or are visiting the area and want to take a yoga class or go to a sauna.

Martia’s class is, without a doubt, one of the best things in my life! Studio is home, the staff are family, and the clientele are immediately my friends just by virtue of the fact that you provide such a welcoming, non judgmental, all encompassing practice.

With each visit to Black Mountain Yoga, I experience a grounding associated with the mind, body and earth connection. I have enjoyed a variety of classes over the past five years.

Black Mountain Yoga feels like home to me. The staff are friendly, warm, and accepting; the yoga studio is beautiful and comfortable (e.g., the floor is heated;) and my fellow students are of all ages-which I like.

At least once a week there is a child in one of my yoga classes. For me this shows how inclusive, accessible, and welcoming BMY is. It is a non-competitive community where all ages, skill levels, body types, and colors of yoga pants are welcome to practice! Without any air of pretension or intimidation BMY provides me a near-daily retreat.

For me this process has been truly transformational in my personal life. I feel more assured in my yoga practice, and more confident moving through the world in my body.

I started taking yoga classes to try to improve my flexibility and balance. Little did I know what other benefit I would get. I had chronic hip pain. Every time I got up from a chair or got out of the car, my hip would hurt. That pain virtually disappeared after the first class I took at Black Mountain Yoga.

I was very impressed with the atmosphere. It was welcoming, informative and the instructor, Martia, was observant and helpful. The physical building is impressive as well as functional and friendly. Love the heated floor!

Black Mountain Yoga has been my spiritual and nurturing home since day one of its inception. When I walk in the door I am greeted as family with warmth, accommodation and loving kindness. From the minute I arrive, the rest of the world melts away and I am fully nourished in mind, body and spirit.
