Amy Esnard, Yoga Student, Perth, Western Australia
Thank you so very much for the uplifting morning with you and yoga. It was truly a soulful gift to myself... Its the little things you mentioned in class that brought back to life some of my core values and inner balance that seem to have been lost in the shuffle as Ive been migrating here from Oregon for the past couple of years. Id love to come to more of your yoga sessions if you teach regularly.

Christina Hagopian, Yoga Student, Be Yoga/Yogaworks, NYC, USA
I attended several of your classes when you were at Be Yoga, NYC. I am a beginner/intermediate yogi, but I joined the studio because you were the most inspiring teacher I ever had. You still are, in fact.

Shaun Blair, Yoga Student, Exhale Venice, California, USA
Its so clear that you are very rooted in the gifts you offer. You are the epitome of what a teacher can be when she is highly gifted and completely connected to Spirit.The perfect, intuitive, personal, challenging, Spirit-led flow of your class is the type of mind/body/soul experience that Saul brings us and that I hope to one day share with students of my own. After each class, I have gone home to journal those incredible tidbits of wisdom that rang like bells in my head when you said them. The ones that stand out most have been answers to the very questions I held as I entered your classroom each time. Your classes have been an unexpected treat, an oasis, a guidepost, a blessed space to nurture me during an amazing time of healing, transformation, and preparation in my life. In each of your classes, I have experienced a sense of awakening, cleansing, strengthening, and renewal.I trust that the same Supreme Forces which brought you to us will continue to uphold you, bless you, provide for you, and wrap you in peace and love as you move forward from here.

Tara and Billy Tynan, Long Beach, NY, USA, attended for 2nd year, Montauk Surf Yoga Retreat
Thank you for another unforgettable weekend in Montauk. The yoga classes were inspirational and incredible, and perhaps next year I will attempt some surfing. It will be a weekend we will never forget. We hope to join you both in Costa Rica in the spring of next year.

Diane Malaspina, Ph.D. Educational Psychologist, Yoga Teacher, virginia beach, va, usa. attended embodying the flow tt co-taught by shiva rea and twee in venice, ca
I love Twees classes. She guides a beautiful inward journey combining asana sequence, music, and words that allow the student to delve deeply into the self. The experience is a connection to the inner truth - where one feels the authenticity of Twees own journey into the soul. Twees authentic experience directly speaks to me. As I awakened from savasana and looked around the room, I realized that my experience of beauty was the collective experience in the class - a true collection of consciousness.

Alan Starner, Yoga Teacher, Ft. Collins, Colorado, USA. attended embodying the flow tt co-taught by shiva rea and twee in venice, ca
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Summer Immersion in Venice. It was a great experience for me, affecting me on many levels. And so many great people too. I think I'm still digesting . . .In meeting you, I feel a little like I dipped my toe into a deep river.

sonia bach, yogaloft cologne, germany, co-owner, instructor, shiva rea assistant
what strikes me most with you, is the beauty of being yoga rather than doing yoga. moments with you felt like a blissful chain of pearls in my heart that broke free, suddenly running wild not knowing where theyll stop. yes, why not lets live what rises in our heart, floating into new potentials at any given moment. 1008 gratitudes to you.

In the enlightened world, there is no war and no rule by force. There is only the spread of tranquility and insight, a message delivered with humility and curiosity by armies of the wisest among us. In that world, Twee Merrigan is our drill sergeant, training the eager not in compliance but in realizing their own individuality. Twee, keep walking the path and circling back to show us the way.

Jen Arnold, Yoga Student, NYC, USA. attended Montauk Surf and Yoga Retreat
Nirvana on a surf board! Sonic Yogas Montauk Surf Retreat June 2007 was the most fun Ive ever had at the beach. Being in the water on a surf board is a truly exhilarating experience. It is the first time I ever felt at one and completely involved with the elements of water wind waves and sun. As an added bonus, the surf instructors, Tommy Steve were helpful, friendly and adorable to behold. I always felt safe and supervised on the board. The yoga classes were held under a tent on a vast green lawn overlooking the bay on the grounds of our hotel. It was like we were all starring in on of those exotic local yoga videos. Lauren and Twees yoga instruction was at times challenging, at times soothing and always unique and inspirational. Those are 2 rockin yoga/surf gals. Our yoga retreat group of 13 was friendly and inclusive. The hotel where we stayed, the Crows Nest, was a slice of old school Montauk kitsch, comfortable, funky and close to Ditch Plains Beach where our surf lessons took place. I enjoyed myself so much, I hope to be able to participate in some future retreat, both at Montauk this summer and the winter retreats in the islands.

Pamela Gustafson, Yoga Teacher, Billings, MT, USA, attended Embodying the Flow TT
It is me - Pamela, from Billings, MT. You must return immediately! Class with you is very refreshing as you channel your energy and grace into each class you teach. You remind me of a river of energy, in fact. Your method of theming a class with readings, music, asana is smooth and reflects your knowledge and thought.

Raymond Foust III, yoga student, nyc, usa, attended montauk surf and yoga retreat
i cant believe how mentally and physically transformative the yoga-surf retreat with Twee was! I honestly felt uplifted spiritually and I cant wait to do it again. Namaste.

I just want to thank you for all you did for me during teacher training. It was really amazing to have the opportunity to be around Shiva, you, and all the wonderful teachers and assistants. I am really happy to say that the immersion has changed my life in many levels. It inspired me not only in my personal life but also in my professional life too. You are such as inspiration. You really are yoga!

Suzanna Spring, Yoga Teacher, Berkeley, CA, USA. attended embodying the flow tt co-taught by shiva rea and twee in venice, ca
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed getting to meet you and learn from you during the Summer Immersion in Venice. I was very inspired by your teaching and by observing your own practice and presence. I hope our paths cross again....The more I introduce my students to prana vinyasa yoga, I see how natural it is for the body, and that makes me truly appreciate this particular yoga path and what I learned at the Summer Immersion--all of the parts of the program Shiva assembled.

Alan Mathieson, Yoga Teacher and Qantas Airport Manager, Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia. attended embodying the flow tt at sunshine coast, australia.
Where can I start about my experience at your training at Sunshine Coast Power Yoga. This guy from the bush not knowing what to expect, feeling a little unsure about why he was going to this teacher training and at the same time something in the back of his mind telling him he had to go. Well I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have made to attend your teacher training. My intention was to learn how I could make Yoga more a part of my daily life and you taught me that it is not just the physical practise, but the day to day contact we have with each other and how our emotions and reactions can affect our lives and the peoples lives around us. During the training you asked us to write down what we wanted to do as teachers. I wrote, to teach emotional control and respect for each other. I know that over the short time you were teaching us, you have guided me in this direction and I sincerely thank you for that. I think of you as a Gardener with the help of some of the elements (water, earth, fire) and a little love, you help these little seedlings grow and develop. Once they are established they all have the potential to blossom into beautiful flowers and continue the cycle, or flow.

Tony and Tara Horan, Drummer, Prahan, Melbourne, VIC, Australia. Drummed for our Arm Balancing Master Class. His daughter participated too.
Hi Twee, Firstly to say thanks for the opportunity to play at your arm balancing class last Saturday. Secondly to say that I loved your teaching. I drew much inspiration from watching you teach and playing drum for you. I loved how you approached Tara, invited her to join in and, made a perfect space for her. It was brilliant for her introduction to yoga, a masterclass with a teacher such as you. She really enjoyed it! I felt honoured!I also loved how you empowered us (drummers) to find our way into your teaching. Those few minutes outside before the class reaffirmed my feeling for finding my way in. Thanks again and, I am keen to play with/for you whenever you are in Melbourne.

Adrian Thia, Student of the Flow, Prahan, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Hi Twee, I attended your 3 day yoga workshop with Somachi Studio in Melbourne last week. It was fantastic having a deeper insight into the different perspective of yoga. I found the understanding of the mind, body energy extremely helpful, as I believe, that I always had a natural feel about energy, chi or common street saying... the vibe about things surroundings.....those first two days had been extremely beneficial. I will definitely part take in your future classes in Melbourne.

Wayne Neylan, Student of the Flow, Prahan, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
I thought Id write to say thank you so so much for showing me that the art of Yoga is more than just a quick 1 hour fix to lifes stresses ! Its a total living philosophy or something to that effect, I got so much more than I expected out of those 3 days it really blew me away and Im still buzzing now.I do already live this way but hearing you explain things the way you did just solidified this for me even more.

Jax Schott, Energetic Alignment TT asistant to Twee, New York City, NY, USA

Greg D, student at Pure Yoga NYC
It was a true pleasure to practice with you three times in four days. Your teaching, your passion, your creativity, your sense of humor, your vitality, your vibeyou are truly a gifted teacher.

Jeremy Fahey, student at Pure Yoga NYC
I have been floating since this weekend. I felt validated and empowered. The aspect of enhancements touching or pressing the body the way you dont want it to go so they can press into you was mind blowing. I had been using gentle touch and from the other side of that flow. I am a new man. And my practice and classes are reaping the benefits...thank you.

Sarra Morton, Group Fitness Manager , Equinox NYC
I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to meet you, and that your class was truly a gift to me, and everyone else in the room I hope you come back to visit us asap! Having almost each one of our members thank me personally for your master class speaks VOLUMES!

It is late Friday evening and I still have lots of positive energy flow; I enjoyed the great show South Pacific last night at Lincoln Center -- music is my life but not my livelihood. But I visited Bali tonight in your class. Thank you and please let me know when you will teach other classes in NYC, Berlin, etc..

eric, yoga student, malaysia
tThought I would drop a few lines here to let you know that it was a very wonderful workshop.fFirstly, I enjoyed it very much as it was a very different form ofyYoga and it kinda really incorporate principles of prana/chi into asanas. secondly, there is this gracefulness that prana flow yoga has been able to bring into Yoga asanas and also you project this wonderful charisma and voice delivery that makes the workshops really enjoyable to follow.

889 Yonge had the pleasure of hosting Twee here in Toronto for an incredible weekend Urban Retreat! Over the past several years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to build both a personal and professional relationship with Twee. We have crossed paths and connected several times around the globe and shared in transformative, evolutionary experiences. It was an honor to introduce and share Twee with the yoga community here at 889!! The weekend was magical! Twee continues to be an absolute shining light in my life. As a teacher, as a woman, as an entrepreneur, Twee has been the most wonderful source of support, encouragement and inspiration. Twee, I am eternally grateful for your presence, friendship, love!

hilde, yoga student, germany
many thanks for your wonderful and powerful class yesterday evening at Inside Yoga in Frankfurt, I enjoyed it a lot! The way you practice yoga seems to be just by the way but it is enormouslyeffective. Wishing you all the best for your yoga practice and travels and I hope to meet you again in the near future.

This was such an inspiring week. since then, Ifeel i can trust the flow more and let my body undulate even when staying still. I really hope to see you soon and receive all the positive and inspiring vibes from you.

shaun, energy worker, california
I continue to highly honor and appreciate your connection to Goddess and to all of Her (Our) people. The fact that you are living your dream (one that I fully identify with) of traveling the world and sharing all the amazingness Goddess continues to pour into you makes me send you all the energetic support that I can. Twee, you already know that you were made to do this. You also already know that you are continuing to evolve faster than most other beings on this earth. Because of that, you may have times when it seems that not many are on the same page as you. I thank Goddess for your strong connection to Her that assures you that even when no one else understands your choices, they come from a Higher Place - and they are Right. I ask that Goddess continue to wrap you, draw you in, lift you up, send you out, bless you, fill you, sustain you, and give you unlimited joys, deliciously fulfilling challenges, and more love than your beautiful little heart can even hold (you know exactly what to do with the extra - you share it so well).

Twee Merrigan, such a great Person, such a great teacher! Ive had the privilege to meet Twee in her workshop and I am very positive amazed/astonished to see her excellent training skills and authenticity. How great it was to feel her connection, her openess and the natural ways she talked me into the movements. When I think of Twee I see a a great Model and love to see her attitude of great curiosity, openess and eagerness of the ultimate learning state. Her way of teaching/training is at very high standard, using all ways of safety, connection, love and dedication. If youre looking for raising you own standards, this is it!

luz, yoga student, mexico
It was amazing to learn from you and thank you again for being that change that I and some of us want for the world. You remind me that this is the path that I want. This is my passion, my mission in life. Im standing here and I dont want to stop. I want to ride this wave the best I can.

erika, yoga teacher
Thanks so much for the music! And I just wanted to say I enjoyed your classes so much here. They were right up my alley since I come from a dance background. I love the freedom in it!

Fiorella, yogini
It was a pleasure connecting with you on Sunday at your Mystery of Being class. As I mentioned, you and Shiva have been such an inspiration to me over the years, so having done workshops with both of you has been an honor! Wishing all the blessings you deserve on this world tour, and once again thank you for spreading wonderful energy and yoga love around the globe.

paloma, owner anahata yoga
Thank you so much for stretching our minds in so many ways-all of that wonderful PRANA -I could feel it in the studio this morning. I wasnt tired but instead inspired and found new ways to describe postures and new words to express and communicate with-golden threads!!!! Loved it! much love and many blessings. OM shanti

Lety, yogini
I want to thank you for the wonderful experience you gave us, I really like the program. You are an extraordinary person, I am so glad I meet you.I learned a lot during this weekend, and as I told you, I learned so much about life.

Nina, Yogini, germany
I enjoyed your Monday fire class a lot!! Thank you!! I am still doing the hand stand regularly ;) I did this exercise before in my Capoeira training. It is hard but good. Now I am here in Garmisch and met Dani and you and I am thankful for that! Yoga is so colorful and always a little different, but still makes me happy all the time!I just wanted to say Hello and thank you! I wish you a nice day!

clare liu, yogini
Twee is pretty amazing. Also we can say pretty and amazing. The first time I met her, I wondered when I could be like her, peaceful, beautiful and rich in soul. She let me know everyone has their own energy to let their body do what they want. She gives me confidence to keep doing Yoga for ever!

Katie, Yogini
I just had to send you a belated note of thanks. I participated in the Urban Yoga Retreat at 889 Yonge Yoga in Toronto last August. You helped me do a handstand and I had to tell you that that experience (as well as the retreat as a whole) has forever changed me. Once you helped me get into the handstand you told me that what I had once thought was impossible was blown out of the water became possible, so I forever needed to challenge the things that feel impossible. I cant tell you how many times I remind myself of that and think of your words. You also reminded me that I need to be as kind and loving to myself as I am to the children that I teach. You said you would never say that to one of the beautiful children you teach, what makes it okay for you to say that to yourself. I cant tell you how many times I have thought about that when I catch myself getting down on myself.

Serena Yan, yogini, China
After studying with Twee, i was impressed by her passion and complete absorption in her students. I have benifited a lot from Prana Flow Yoga. In addition, Her idea of environmental protection is really admirable. As what i said: I like you, like your yoga class, your inner shine, and ill never forget your lovely smile :)

carole westerman, yogini, omaha
i have been wanting to write to you since i came back from kripalu, i had such a wonderful time. not only did i learn a lot, but i had the pleasure and honor of getting to know you. you are so amazing, and i truly see you as a mentor to me. over the last week, i have found things from the energetic alignment at kripalu popping up into my classes that i teach. its like i absorbed EVERYTHING you and simon said, and my cells are remembering it. like theyve taken a week or two to distill what you both said, and now its pouring out of me in my own way and in my own words. you have already made me a better teacher. i am so grateful for you. and so filled with gratitude to be able to work with you and shauna, sharing the prana flow love with the world. i love you and i thank you from the bottom of my anahata chakra!!

kari, yogini
Thank you so much for a lovely chakra vinyasa workshop! I really appreciated your ability to integrate yoga philosophy into the performance of asanas, pranayama and meditation. Yoga for me, amongst many things, is like a metaphor to life. I loved the way you managed to connect the meaning of what we are doing on the mat to life itself, and how experiences from intimate connection in yoga practice can be generalized to the life we live with our inner and outer world. Hope to meet you again sometime!

cynthia viviane, yogini, zurich, switzerland
I love practicing yoga and learning from you. thank you for the beautiful yoga class last friday morning in zurich. enjoy a great time in europe/zurich. I am looking forward to meeting you soon again. lots of love, sunshine and light.

Every time I meet with Twee she shifts my little world through her yoga and reminds everybody that we are all part of a bigger world shift. What a wonderful ambassador of change she is.
