I was in dropout prevention classes from second grade through the fifth grade. During the second semester of fifth grade I came to the Silva course. I scored high on the FCAT and all of my other tests. I am now in regular or advanced classes and doing very well.

I must be attending yoga 10 years now. Lately on Zoom. I went initially not expecting to do those 10 years. It is a tribute to you Claire, how enjoyable you make the class and the way you encourage us & teach us. I have missed very few classes which are calming and relaxing. We know the asanas, now but it’s easy to get distracted at home. I think it is difficult to describe the total experience until you are doing the yoga. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a little me time.

I used to get uptight quite easily but since I have taken the Silva Course I have found myself to be far more relaxed and at work, my colleagues who would know me to lose my temper, are surprised as I don't anymore! Overall the days seem to flow more easily.

When I was sick with cancer and on treatment I would use the Long Relax for total and healing relaxation, adding the Pain Control Technique to minimise the pain. The results were terrific. I was told I was a model patient at the hospital. I now use the techniques mostly on the road to have an uneventful journey and to be moving the traffic along: I set duration for my travel and using the techniques always find that I achieve my goal, arriving safely, relaxed and on time. I use the sleep technique whenever I'm restless to have good quality sleep. Also, I sometimes have to travel long distances to attend meetings so, when I know I'm going to have a very short night sleep I use the Long Relax to improve the quality of sleep in order to be alert whilst driving and during the meeting.
