What our clients have to say.

  • “I am pain free for the first time in 30 years.”

    After various successful orthopedic surgeries I am pain-free for the first time in 30 years.  And thanks to my practice of yoga and the loving care of Terri, Don and Brittany at grassROOTS I plan to stay pain-free. Their guidance and instruction allows me to live my life to its fullest.  Yoga, for me, is creating and maintaining strength and balance of body, mind and spirit.  Thank you grassROOTS for all you do and the support community of my fellow yogis that has been created.

  • " There is a class for everyone whether you come in using a wheelchair, walker, cane, or on your own two feet."

    Yoga with GrassRoots Wellness teachers has dramatically improved my quality of life. It has so far kept me from back surgery (which doctor's recommend). All the teachers are great at giving modifications to movements if needed. Grass Roots is more than just a yoga spa; it is a close-knit family community in which everyone—teachers and students—encourage each other and applaud at achievements made. We notice whenever someone is absent and ask around to make sure everything is fine with them. There is a class for everyone whether you come in using a wheel chair, walker, cane or on your own two feet. These classes are great if someone is recovery from surgery, have balance issues, joint problems or if you are just wanting a great all over work out. I highly recommend people to come and check out this great center. You will not find another one like GrassRoots in the Fresno/Clovis area.

  • " I am stronger and substantially more mobile than I used to be "

    I have been interested in yoga for some time but between two bad knees and a bad back, I was always hesitant to try it for fear of injuring myself further. While seeing Dr. Kasturi for my back pain, I saw the flyer for chair yoga and with his blessing decided to try it. I knew it would be safe as the instructors were specifically there to support us with modifications that allowed us to not cause injury or pain. Grassroots Wellness Yoga has changed my life for the better. I am stronger and substantially more mobile than I used to be and I know how to use both my breath and my body to help me move comfortably and safely. I eagerly anticipate my classes each week and trust the instructors to guide and support me. I rarely have either knee or back pain now but if I do I know just what to do. The mental side of the practice of yoga has been extremely helpful as well. I know how to use my breath to calm myself and to work through emotional challenges. I am so grateful to Grassroots Wellness Yoga for my good health, good balance and good friends.

  • "After just four months, I was able to walk without my walker. "

    In April of 2024, I began having serious trouble with my balance, which made walking very difficult for me. My doctor was concerned about my safety and recommended that I start using a walker to prevent falls. He also suggested that I try chair yoga to help improve my balance and strength.

    I didn't waste any time. Right after my appointment, I signed up for classes and began that very week. At first, we focused on proper breathing and gentle movements, using the chair for support. Little by little, we added more full-body exercises, always at a pace that felt safe and encouraging.

    After just four months, I was able to walk without my walker. I even gained the confidence to join a regular yoga class, where I can now do exercises and stretches on a mat. My balance has improved tremendously, and I feel stronger and more steady than I have in a long time.

    What makes me especially happy is knowing that I've learned exercises I can continue to use on my own to keep improving my health and stay active in my daily life. I am beyond grateful to Grass Roots for their guidance, professional expertise, and endless patience. Thanks to them, I feel more confident, capable, and hopeful than I ever expected at this stage of my life. (87 years old)

  • "I have found my people!"

    I have found my people! GrassROOTS Wellness is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a welcoming environment focused on intentional movement, balance, strength and recovery. Now in my 50’s, the aches and pains are more noticeable and I had been sedentary for WAY too long. I needed something that would challenge me but not scare me away. GrassROOTS was it. I’m so grateful.

    The Relevance of Yoga to Mental Health: An Evidence-Based Perspective

    In an era defined by increasing rates of anxiety, stress, and depressive disorders, the search for effective and accessible mental health interventions is more urgent than ever. While conventional treatments like psychotherapy and medication are cornerstones of care, there is a growing interest in complementary practices that address the holistic nature of human well-being. Yoga, an ancient practice originating in India, has emerged as a powerful, evidence-based tool for supporting mental health. Integrating physical postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and meditation, yoga offers a unique mind-body approach that directly counteracts the physiological and psychological underpinnings of mental distress. …

    The Asana of Aging: How Yoga Contributes to a Longer, Healthier Life

    The human quest for longevity is as old as civilization itself. While genetics play a role, a growing body of scientific research suggests that our lifestyle choices are profoundly influential in determining not just our lifespan (how long we live) but, more importantly, our health span (how long we live well). Among the practices gaining scientific validation for its pro-longevity effects is the ancient discipline of yoga. Far from being a mere exercise routine, yoga’s integration of physical postures (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation provides a holistic mechanism for mitigating the key drivers of aging: chronic inflammation, cellular decline, and stress. …

    The Holistic Impact of Yoga on Quality of Life: A Scientific Perspective

    In the search for well-being, "quality of life" (QoL) has emerged as a critical measure, encompassing an individual's physical health, psychological state, social relationships, and personal beliefs. In parallel, the ancient practice of yoga, once viewed primarily as a spiritual discipline, has gained widespread recognition as a powerful mind-body intervention. Modern science is increasingly validating what practitioners have known for millennia: yoga, through its unique integration of physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation, offers a robust and accessible method for significantly enhancing an individual's overall quality of life. …

    The Interwoven Path: How Yoga Addresses the Complexity of Pain

    Chronic pain is one of the most pervasive and debilitating public health issues of the modern era, affecting more individuals than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined. It is a complex phenomenon that transcends a simple physical sensation; it is a biopsychosocial experience that intertwines physical dysfunction with emotional distress, social isolation, and a diminished quality of life. Consequently, effective management requires more than just a pill. It demands an integrated approach that addresses the whole person. Yoga, an ancient mind-body practice combining physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation, is emerging as a potent, evidence-based modality for managing chronic pain by targeting its physical, neurological, and psychological roots. …

    The Converging Paths of Practice and Protection: Yoga's Relevance in Alzheimer’s and Dementia

    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias represent a growing global health crisis, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration that erodes memory, cognition, and, ultimately, personal identity. With pharmacological treatments offering only symptomatic relief, the scientific community has increasingly turned its focus toward preventative and adjunctive therapies. Among these, the ancient mind-body practice of yoga has emerged as a compelling, low-cost, and accessible intervention with a growing body of scientific evidence supporting its relevance in protecting cognitive health.
