Testimonials

Working with Aaron might help you adjust your relationship to your thoughts. 

- Helen F., Science Writer, Washington D.C.

Aaron is wise, practical, and level-headed about instruction. She's always pushing for depth in practice, moving beyond surface level understandings, but she does it in a way that is completely authentic and accessible.

- Jenny K., Theatre Artist and Educator, Queens NY

Aaron is incredibly knowledgeable about the traditions and practices she teaches. She is personable and lovingly welcoming of what participants bring and share. She does an excellent job of actively listening and insightfully responding to participant needs and questions. She is also willing to be vulnerable and open about her own process and progress, which is very reassuring to participants who may be struggling, whether it be with the practice itself or obstacles to the practice.

- Austin C., High School English Teacher, Ft. Worth TX

Aaron has a deep well of knowledge, a compassionate heart, and a great curiosity for life. She is also able to present information in such a way that it is accessible to a whole range of people whether they are at the beginning of their spiritual journey or deep in it.

- Lindsay A., Artist and Activist, Flemington NJ

Aaron is a gifted meditation and yoga teacher who can help you find more meaning in your life. Whether you're working through something specific, you want to get in better communion with yourself, or you want to experience a closer connection with other people and the universe as a whole, Aaron can help bring you there. She approaches meditation simultaneously from a spiritual and intellectual perspective, but most of all she helps you tap into what you already know and only need to remember.

- Jenny H., Lawyer, Brooklyn NY

I recommend studying with Aaron if you want to learn and grow, and be treated with loving kindness.

- Janet W. Grateful Gardner + Explorer + Learner, Huntsville, Canada

Aaron is the real deal. She doesn't need to make herself seem like more than she is but knows and honors who she is and what she's here to do. I find that a great teacher is always learning, and even beyond all the work she's put into her practice and the many traditions she's studied very thoroughly, she's incredibly interested in hearing about her students' experiences. I think part of this is to better be of service, but I also get the sense that her curiosity and wonder help her stay forever a student and she's wise enough to know she can learn something at all times. She's so easy to relate to, she funny, she's kind, and she's devoted deeply to her mission. I find it incredibly important to find teachers that you trust, and with Aaron that came almost immediately.

- Michael Kingsbaker, feathertreephotography.com

Aaron brings the magic. She's 100% invested in pursuing truth, not just in an airy-fairy way, but in a studied, meticulous way. And she has her finger on the magic of the unseen worlds... and will help point you there.

- Ariel Kiley, Yoga Teacher, https://arielkiley.me/

Aaron, you are so dedicated to these ideas and these practices.  I've seen you go through the struggles, and I trust you.  You have truly lived what you're teaching.  Then you've taken what are really quite esoteric ideas and you've figured out a way to share them with others who haven't studied as deeply as you have.  I came away feeling like I had learned something.  I had heard or practiced much of it, but it came together in this past month in ways that hadn't happened for me before.  You're a true teacher.

- Holly Messitt, Associate Professor, English BMCC

If you are seeking a practice that will fortify you for life seek out Aaron.

- Saije B., Creative + Operations + Production, Jersey City NJ

The kind and open hearted approach to mediation and her students. Her sense of humor, her deep connection to the practice, her honor for the lineages she's past through, and the way she teaches. I never felt looked down upon, I truly felt like she was sharing with us from a place neither above us or below us, which makes it much easier for me to receive what she has to offer.

- Nami S. Teacher/Healer/Artist, Brooklyn NY

What you get with Aaron is inspired, non-judgmental, unstuffy, focused and flexible, smart as a whip guidance on your spiritual journey. She is studied and informed and puts in work. She’s deeply kind, funny and humble, dedicated and modern, relatable, transparent and deeply trustworthy.

In working with Aaron I’ve found liberation from sticky depression, some deeply grooved patterns of thinking, and unhelpful habits.  I’ve become more serious in my practice and less serious in my personal life. I’m easier, I feel more humble and full of wonder. I’m happier. I’m grateful and connected.  I’m more resourceful and resilient, less flappable. I have tools to see myself in others and others in myself.

- Allison van Hee, Director of Asset Management,  JOE NYC http://www.joenyc.org/ 

Her talks are simple, clear, easy to listen to and good to think about. One has a feeling of focus, seriousness, even sacredness without pomposity.  

- Karen, Playwright, http://theaterthreecollaborative.org

For anyone who is even thinking of starting to meditate, you must study with Aaron. I am a 60 year old who has always been reluctant to try meditation but I must say, now I am hooked. Aaron communicates in easy understandable inspirational language, and her online course made the practice very accessible for me. Every week we got a beautifully guided meditation led by Aaron, followed by thoughts and tools to build our meditation practice.

Since I started, I have been meditating twenty minutes daily. I am feeling less anxious and calmer. I am learning to handle stress more effectively using my breathing techniques and visualizations I’ve learned from her. Aaron is filled with love and exudes that with all who study with her. I am so grateful to Aaron for introducing me to meditation.

- Marty Gorfinkel, Public Defender, Brooklyn

Aaron stands out among a sea of other yoga instructors.  While she makes room for all skill levels (I'm a beginner), she manages to provide opportunities for challenge and growth in a refreshingly non-judgmental environment. I leave the studio feeling stronger, wiser, and more capable than when I entered.  Her music choices are stellar--veering towards indie, her instruction is nuanced yet concrete, and her gentle adjustments have transformed my approach.  Aaron is clearly a passionate and true practitioner, and her technical and spiritual knowledge is evident.  She does not phone it in, allowing the classes to evolve in tone and energy, regularly introducing new music, poses and themes...yet somehow invariably providing exactly what I need in that moment. Her classes are a gift.

- Liz, Integral Wellness Consultant, www.elizabethbaumintegral.com

Her dynamic, deeply thoughtful and creative approach to the art of teaching keeps me coming back week after week. Under her supportive guidance, you will tap into deeper places of your personal practice. Aaron has a special gift for distilling the ancient texts down to their absolute essence, ready for each one of her students to bring a piece of the wisdom off of their mat and out into the rest of their daily lives. Thank you Aaron for showing me each week what true dedication and compassion can look like!
