Praise
Past and present students and workshop participants have been generous with their praise and kind words. With my humble thanks, here's some of what they've said...
"I love wearing and gifting beautiful things made by people I know. Margie Weaver’s earrings are some of my most frequent go-tos -- and this year I’m treating myself to a pair of felt slippers."
~
"If you are looking for centered, thoughtful growth and awareness, you can do no better than studying and being with Margie. She is a treasure."
~
"This gathering and this place on Earth are full of beauty and regeneration. Heart-rocking laughs and kindnesses abound. Just go! Delicious!"
~
"If you love singing in rich harmonies to sunsets over the ocean. If you love eating organic, scrumptious lovingly prepared food in a community of like-minded people. If you love laughing, stretching and growing each day into a more peaceful, balanced human being ..this is the retreat for you! Barbara is hysterically funny, talented, and real. Margie is a like a wise sage. The combination is truly refreshing and just plain fun! "
~
"I left with a bag full of songs: to sing whales in, to turn a blue day into a silver day, to invite regard for the earth and sky and sun, to acknowledge the gift of every new day and to gracefully let each day go on its way."
~
"The week with Barbara and Margie at Mar de Jade was a delight in so many ways! The place is peaceful, with a friendly climate and ocean, lovely employees, and amazing food (a buffet of amazements, every meal). The group was fun and compatible, the singing and yoga satisfying. A rest for body and soul."
~
"I owe you deeply felt thanks for introducing me to yoga--it is a path I have continued on, and still do."
~
"You've given me a gift I will have forever."
~
"I unabashedly admit your approach is the first I have longed to revisit. The variety of elements, the music, the mindfulness, are all important to me."
~
"Margie is one of my favorite yoga teachers. She combines the heart, body and spirit in her classes. This is the way yoga should be taught."
~
"You have had a positive and lasting influence on my education and my career choices. While that was many moons ago, I carry lessons learned and the influence of your directed art to this day."
~
"I value the time I was able to spend practicing in that (trauma-informed) way with you, and will hold that approach in my mind and heart in future classes."
~
"I still practice yoga – and really, you were the inspiration that got me started on this now 12-year journey. Thanks!"
~
"Margie, thank you for a deeply informative and fulfilling evening last night learning how to make kombucha and nut milks. I have my first batch of kombucha going now (trying white tea) and the raw almonds are soaking overnight for nut milk tomorrow! I am so excited to be on this gut-healing, consciousness-raising journey. Thank you for your guidance."
~
"Margie was my yoga teacher for a few years and the best one yet. I still stand on that, by the way! A born teacher is the greatest gift and not someone you happen upon each time you walk into a class.
Now working with grief, in her compassion, intelligence and steadfastness, I know what a difference this brings to a person who is in the midst of grief or trauma. Grief in fact is a type of trauma in my experience and something our culture has little language or understanding for.
I find great hope knowing Margie is now involved in these sensitive areas. That Margie is kind and grounded is required in order to help during a tender and often turbulent phase. Thanks Margie for deepening your service."
~
"Margie, as her web site shows, embodies what she teaches! Yoga is a passion for her and a life long commitment. Her winning smile, warm friendly voice and relaxed teaching style can help anyone feel comfy and grow stronger in their body."
~
"Her class...is a mental, physical and spiritual experience."
~
"Margie Weaver, being a true teacher, creates a learning space where both student and teacher are on the same plane."
~
"She gives different levels of challenge for all postures so that no matter where you are as a student, you can work your best at that very point."
~
"Margie Weaver creates an open environment that allows each of us to experience and grow...empowered by the movements through breath. Be, learn to listen to our bodies, find the edge, with breath move beyond and fly. These are powerful exercises."
~
"I am already stronger mentally, physically and spiritually..."
~
"Thank you, Margie. You are a gift!"
~
"Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your light!"
