"Our members are fragile elderly, many of them afficted with Alzheimer's. Avivah is able to reach every one, and raise their spirits. People who would ordinarily withdraw within themselves are moving and singing by the end of the  class. Avivah is a very special person who is loving, caring, and talented. Come to one of Avivah's classes, and you will never be the same!"
-- Mina Friedlander, activity coordinator, Westside Adult Day Support Center of the Westside Jewish Community Center

"In my other exercise classes, I'm stretching. In your class, I'm reaching up to G-d."
-- Cedelle Weiner, age 100, resident, Jewish Home for the Aging

Thank you, Avivah, for the thoughtful and educational Jewish Yoga class you brought to the UC San Diego Hillel on May 31, 2007, as part of our "Vitamin J" Judaism and health programming series. The class was the perfect mix of meaningful Jewish learning and envigorating yoga. It is truly a unique approach to Judaism!
-- Adam Gerber, JCSC Fellow, Hillel of San Diego at UCSD

"I took Avivah’s class for the month of November and loved the stretching and de-stressing of it, and the Jewish meditation on the parsha of the week!  Avivah is a very knowledgeable and compassionate teacher. She made adjustments for all the ailments and weaknesses I was having. She is more into the spiritual aspect than pushing the physical. I loved it, and I can't wait to resume her class."
-- Shoshi Wilchfort, Sisterhood officer, Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, Calif.
