Testimonials

I asked May to teach restorative yoga at my company's annual, year-end team appreciation retreat to provide a regenerative and special element to the day.  Everyone loved the experience and felt comfortable with May's style—calming, informative, open, approachable and knowledgeable.  May's love for sharing her expertise and passion for yoga with others, and its beneficial effects, is clear.  She is truly focused on giving to others and spreading the gifts she has received through her own longtime yoga practice beyond herself.

“My life is better because of May.”

I am a 77 year old widow. My daughter took me to my first yoga class at The Den Meditation in Studio City and I had not exercised in 20+ years. The last several months with May has enriched my life. She gives her restorative yoga class so much. My life is better because of May.

“…she herself exudes a kind and patient calm…”

May introduced us to restorative yoga five years ago and is kind enough to keep coming back to help us heal, strengthen and relax. We so look forward to every session with May - her depth of experience helps make every session feel customized and unique but most importantly she herself exudes a kind and patient calm that we can't help but exhale in her presence. She manages well the fact that one of us has practiced yoga for several decades while one of us struggles with child's pose! We so appreciate her skill and warmth (and adjustments) and feel very lucky to be able to call May our teacher and friend.

    “…I’m able to live in the present and have a calmer approach to life.” 

       I’m a high strung overachiever and have long been lacking the ability to calm and settle myself (and I don’t like to drink or take anything artificial for that purpose).  I found a restorative yoga class at The Den Meditation taught by the amazing May Yeung, and it grounds and resets me so well that I’m able to live in the present and have a calmer approach to life.  It benefits not only me, but my husband and 3 children appreciate a calmer me.

“This slower and deeper practice has had so many benefits on and off the mat.”

Over the past 1 1/2 years, I have had the pleasure of practicing yoga under May. She is the reason I discovered yin yoga. This slower and deeper practice has had so many benefits on and off the mat. Strength and confidence in my poses, remembering my breath and giving myself permission to pause. I am so grateful for all that she brings to my practice as well as the yoga community.

“I was never, ever a yoga person, until I became one thanks to May and her patience. I give her much of the credit for keeping my head afloat during this long, isolated stretch. Turns out her restorative yoga class was the perfect combination of movement and calm to suit my needs. It isn’t intimidating for a beginner and the stretching aspect feels simultaneously challenging and indulgent. We meet on Zoom for morning one-on-ones which keep me accountable and provide a little structure to carry into the day. Plus she’s just so nice that I look forward to seeing her for our sessions, even if only on my laptop screen.”
