Yoga with John~K

"Yoga! Never thought it would help osteoporosis...Just got my bone density results and it went up on the Z-score scale from -3.0 to - 2.0 on Lumbar spine. Although I have taken supplements of calcium, I strongly feel that yoga has been a major part of my improved bone density and muscle mass. Great thanks to my instructor, John Kuberka, for his professionalism and classmates that inspire me and make me feel welcome all the time!"

"I had plantar fasciitis since about 2018. I had been to the podiatrist and did physical therapy a few times and nothing seemed to work. I also did yoga occasionally. However, in August 2022, I began yoga twice a week, religiously for about 2 months then once a month for 8 weeks. My plantar fasciitis has disappeared!!! The pain of walking is over thanks to John's wonderful classes!!! Thank you, John, for your curative practice!"

"Taking John’s yoga classes has provided me with many benefits.

My muscle tone has improved and my joints feel better. I am now able to lie flat on my back without bending my knees and without pain. John provides individual attention and makes sure that asanas are done properly without making me feel like a complete klutz! He has demonstrated his knowledge of body physiology, so I trust him with the instruction he gives us.

I have also developed an awareness of my breathing and body alignment. I never realized how I reacted to stress (and how often) by holding my breath and tightening my shoulders. It is amazing how much calmer you feel when you concentrate on breathing, acknowledge tightened muscles and relax them.

Yoga is not only physical but also spiritual. John incorporates that aspect of yoga through the asanas and breathing exercises with an understanding that spirituality is an individual thing. However, he is readily available to answer questions, suggest resources and discuss the spiritual side of yoga.

In summary, I find that John’s classes make me feel good, and I plan to continue them."

"...I think I failed to convey to you how much your yoga classes and your brilliant teaching added to what could have been a difficult two years in El Paso - for which I thank you."

"Almost two years ago, I attended a yoga class hoping to find some relief from discomforting knees and other things I wasn’t aware of which was the totality of the one problem. Literally after that one class, I attended every class and workshop offered by John. I say with honesty, that John has provided so many avenues for me to explore, learn and enjoy, from the small to the complicated. My mind is open, body balanced, and spirit enlightened. You never know what can make an enhanced change in your life, Yoga has and is doing this for me. Thank you John for providing me with yoga moves, yoga history, and the yoga breath."

"I would like to commend the yoga instructor, John Kuberka, for the wonderful yoga classes that he teaches at Milam Gym every weekday. I have regularly attended John's classes for over 2 years (since January 2017), and I look forward to every yoga session with him. John is truly a professional instructor who brings experience, knowledge, and concern for his students to the practice of yoga. For me, the yoga classes are more than just exercise classes; they are an integral part of my treatment for PTSD. My therapist loves the benefits that I receive from yoga and meditation, and John has a great delivery and rapport with his students that makes practicing with him rewarding. I know he is well-respected by other Soldiers, too. Instructors like John are doing exactly what MWR strives to accomplish - providing opportunities to learn resiliency skills to Soldiers and Family members. I am so glad that he is with the Fort Bliss MWR!"
