“I’m always searching for ways to make my life and work easier and more joyful. At Ellen and Karen’s Women’s Retreat, I learned how to incorporate three powerful tools into my busy schedule: gentle yoga, conscious breathing and mindful meditation. With their wise guidance and support, I’ve begun to make these practices part of my daily routine and have experienced more clarity and peace.”

“Over time, my yoga practice has become a central part of my life, opening me up to real happiness and contentment. The daily practice has slowed and relaxed my Mind and my Body resulting in a “being comfortable in my own skin” feeling that stays with me all day. My posture has changed, the chronic pains have subsided, I breathe more fully, my state of mind is calm, and life is full of joy.

“Ellen Sichel is a devoted practitioner and gifted teacher of svaroopa yoga’s physical postures and spiritual principles.  She continually deepens her own practice and understanding through intensive training periods and master yoga retreats.  With her own students she inspires because her yoga is so well grounded in her life: we are able to learn from her wholehearted struggles, follow her humble progress, and see by her unpretentious and penetrating enlightenment.  Studying Svaroopa yoga with Ellen for the last five years, I have become more flexible and less brittle in the storms of my life, more tranquil with my children, more patient with my associates.  I take better care of myself, give more easily, relax more quickly, and remember more often to keep my head in line with my heart.”

Each Sichel-Bolt experience/event is special and created with enjoyment in mind.  There is not a single place that was more enjoyable than another.  The total package results was a memorable teaching experience.  Must say you and Karen are wonderful compliments to one another.   Well Done!! With great appreciation.”

“Thank you for enabling me to feel so good and to savor these last weeks of my second pregnancy. I have thoroughly enjoyed the prenatal classes, both physically and mentally. As you know, I’ve had a lot of swelling in my hands and feet during this pregnancy. However, each Monday and often on Tuesday as well, the swelling virtually disappears. I credit all the great work we do each Sunday afternoon for this relief!”
