Tai Chi Class – Feel the calmness within

In my work as an ultra-sonographer I had developed pain due to chronic repetitive motion. The simple and gentle rotation and stretching of the shoulders along with the movements and focused breathing of Tai Chi has both decreased my pain and helped me to feel the calmness within. I am grateful to Cynthia for providing me with such a wonderful experience.

— Norma Drury

Tai Chi Class – Leaves no one behind

I had wanted to learn Tai Chi for some years before I found the opportunity provided by Cynthia Ghiron’s fine teaching. I recommend Tai Chi to anyone who wants to move more gracefully and easily into older age. Cynthia Ghiron’s teaching is also excellent. She is thoughtful, skilled, encouraging and leaves no one behind.

Tai Chi Class – Prevents recurrent back and neck aches

I wanted to express my gratitude for Cynthia’s Tai Chi instruction in the past few years. I enrolled primarily because of its beauty and controlled movement aspects. Although I did not believe much in Tai Chi’s health benefits at first, I have found it prevents my recurrent back and neck aches that I experience as a result of my work as an optometrist. I also appreciate your relaxation and meditation sessions. I find they help me relax from stress.

— Daniel C Weber O.D., Tai Chi Student

Jin Shin Jyutsu – Courage to overcome fear of my disease

Being a stage 4 breast cancer patient – Jin Shin Jyutsu gave me the courage to overcome the fear of my disease, its treatment; and also gave me some control over my own health care. I think the most important thing was overcoming the fear and also gaining some control in my own health care. I didn’t like having to turn my life completely over to the medical establishment: Jin Shin Jyutsu gave me a bit of control over my body and spirit.

— Sue Poe, Breast Cancer Survivor

Jin Shin Jyutsu – Guardian Angel Cynthia

I have survived several heart attacks and a triple bypass. I couldn’t have handled any of this without my “Guardian Angel” Cynthia. She was actually allowed to practice Jin Shin Jyutsu and Reiki on me in Intensive Care after my open heart surgery. Even the doctors were amazed when all my numbers immediately returned to normal!

— Mikki Rainey, Client

Jin Shin Jyutsu – So gentle and precise

I am amazed and very impressed with the potency of Jin Shin Jyutsu. It feels like it addresses a different level of energy flow in the body, as you explained. Deeper! You were so gentle and precise in the way you touched my body in the session, and I felt a beautiful flow between us: the trust and psychic connection between us was wonderful.

— Tad Hanna

Tai Chi Class – Spiritually uplifting mind-body experience

My introduction to Tai Chi was in Cynthia Ghiron’s Tai Chi classes at the YMCA in Boulder. I found the class to be the highlight of my week, with soothing music, beautiful imagery, flowing movements and a fun atmosphere. I recently tried a Tai Chi class nearer my house and found it to be not half as enjoyable as Cynthia’s class. Because I’m looking for a spiritually uplifting mind-body experience, I signed up for Cynthia’s class again.

— John Gregorson, Longmont, Colorado

Tai Chi Class – Noticeable drop in blood pressure

About 6 years ago I learned I had heart disease. I improved my nutrition and exercise easily enough but I wasn’t sure how to reduce stress, a major cause of heart disease. I began Tai Chi at that time and have continued ever since. I have a noticeable drop in blood pressure and I feel so much more centered after I perform Tai Chi. I highly recommend it.

— Paul Malinowski, Littleton, Colorado

Tai Chi Class – Kind, supportive and encouraging teacher

Cynthia Ghiron guides her students through a meditative movement experience. I found a peace of mind, equanimity and centeredness that greatly contributed to my well being and ability to cope with the stresses of everyday life. I highly recommend Cynthia’s approach to teaching Tai Chi – she is a kind, supportive and encouraging teacher – a pleasure to learn from.
