"The Wellness workshops that Ashlay and Emily have curated for my clients have been nothing short of amazing! Many had to be nudged initially into participating, as they had heard about gym yoga classes and presumed yoga was not for them. They were pleasantly surprised and delighted that our workshops were customized to each individual, Ashlay and Emily modifying gentle movements to address their every ache or pain. My clients are still raving about their yoga therapy experience and eagerly awaiting the next! We look forward to a continued partnership."

"As the Director of UCASS, a Substance Abuse Mental Health Agency dedicated to guiding individuals towards sobriety and wellness, I am compelled to share our remarkable experience with the Rishi Yoga and Wellness Program led by Emily Chawla and Ashlay Chawla. This program has been an invaluable asset in our mission to assist clients facing the dual challenges of mental health issues and substance abuse. From the outset, it became evident that Emily and Ashlay possess a rare talent for engaging even the most challenging of clients. Our clientele, burdened with profound mental health struggles and substance dependency, often find it difficult to maintain focus or interest. However, Emily and Ashlay's expertise, coupled with their compassionate approach, have consistently risen to the occasion. Their ability to engage our clients is unparalleled. They are not only knowledgeable instructors but also fantastic teachers, able to bring our clients to ease as they explore new avenues of wellness. Rather than imposing their methods forcefully, they foster a sense of calm within the group, allowing participants to embrace the practices at their own pace. What sets Emily and Ashlay apart is their holistic approach to meditation. They don't just teach techniques; they instill a deep understanding of the purpose behind each practice. Taking the time to ensure proper execution, they address any questions or concerns our clients may have, fostering an environment of trust and openness. The impact of this program on our clients has been nothing short of transformative. It offers a profound mind-body experience that transcends conventional therapy. From alleviating physical discomforts like headaches or body pain to nurturing inner peace and awareness, Emily and Ashlay address a broad spectrum of issues with unwavering efficacy. Most importantly, they empower our clients to believe in their own capacity for change. Regardless of their past struggles, Emily and Ashlay instill a sense of hope and agency, showing each individual that they possess the strength to reclaim control over their lives. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse the Rishi Yoga and Wellness Program led by Emily Chawla and Ashlay Chawla. We entered into a contract for this program, and I would have no concerns about renewing it due to the excellent results we have witnessed. Throughout our partnership, Emily and Ashlay have upheld all ends of the contract with a high level of professionalism, further solidifying our trust and confidence in their expertise and commitment to our clients' well-being."

"Emily and Ashlay led a fantastic private yoga session for our group of 10. They curated a 90 minute class before my sister’s wedding, blessing the bride and walking us through some vinyasa yoga and other yoga styles and breathing techniques. They were flexible to adjust the class to any style and elements we requested beforehand, came to us, and provided a few extra mats. They were open to a few consultation sessions prior to the class to make sure our time together was perfect. Highly recommend, and was a perfect pre-wedding activity for our group. Thank you again!!"
