Testimonials from Our Students
"Laughing Buddha Yoga has given me a way to dedicate a small part of my life exclusively to myself. As a stay at home mom, I find that the last eight years have been all about my kids and my husband with very little of it being about me. I know I am very blessed that I am able to be a stay at home mom in this day and age and have no regrets to any parts of my life but after my second son was born, the reality of how unhealthy I have become really forced me to make a change. Luckily Laughing Buddha has made this change so easy for me. The serenity of the studio, the amazing instructors, and most importantly the amazing men and women that are sharing the practice with me is what makes this studio so unique. I had joined lots of gyms in the past where you are just another anonymous face but at Laughing Buddha I feel like I am among family. In five short months, I have lowered my blood pressure, feel more comfortable in my clothes, and have more energy to enjoy my kids and my life. So thank you Mike for having this wonderful studio for me to go to and employing some of the best instructors ever." ~Annie W.
"I love Laughing Buddha Hot Yoga studio in Bayside. I started with hot yoga last fall and added Inside Out a few months later. Together these classes helped me regain my flexibility, build my strength, get toned and feel great! .... The instructors are wonderful and the owner/instructor Mike takes the time to get to know everyone who comes to the studio. Try all the hot yoga classes and you'll quickly find out that 30 seconds in Mike's class lasts a lot longer than in most others. If you're in need of boot-camp, Linda's inside out class is the way to go. There's enough variety of classes and instructors that I'm sure everyone will find something that fits." - Cynthia A.
"Laughing Buddha Yoga Center is truly one of those special places to bring your mind and body to a state of inner peace. ALL of the instructors are fabulous in their own unique way. Not only is it beneficial to your inner self but equally to your physical appearance. I feel my body is much more toned and my incredible ability to stretch deeper improves my posture. Thank you Mike and the staff here for blessing me with your talents! " - Gina E.
PATANJALI'S SUTRAS
Results of stabilizing the mind
(Yoga Sutras 1.40-1.42)
1.40 When, through such practices, the mind develops the power of becoming stable on the smallest size object as well as on the largest, then the mind truly comes under control.
1.41 When the modifications of mind have become weakened, the mind becomes like a transparent crystal, and thus can easily take on the qualities of whatever object observed, whether that object be the observer, the means of observing, or an object observed, in a process of engrossment called samapatti.
