"My weekly yoga practice with Orameh is a unique, refreshing, and holistic respite from the challenges of everyday life. The spiritual retreat she provides through her thoughtful, sophisticated, and professionally informed methods consistently contributes to my personal well-being, body and soul… No two classes are ever the same, and each feels like a mysterious but entirely safe, peaceful journey…. Orameh's guidance has brought me to discover such vital connections between yoga and life -- that stretching, breath, and motion are not just about our physical nature, but how our minds process life events. I'm developing skills to filter stress and anxiety, and observe "obstacles" that come up in my path as opportunities to evolve. Being in the studio with Orameh puts these abstract concepts on the mat in a literal practice. What a liberation, to get these concepts out of our heads and manifested into something real! - Sarah Clothier
"I could easily describe my life as 'before OM' (Orameh) and 'after OM'. When I first nervously stepped foot into my first Forrest Yoga class with Orameh I was a tightly wound, badly slept ball of anxiety. But after only a few short weeks I noticed a distinct shift happening right before my eyes. What was truly surprising is that it was not just my hips or shoulders that felt more open or the fact I could now touch my toes or stand in warrior poses without shaking- it was that I actually felt more centered and confident off the mat as well. The way I engaged with the world had begun to change for the better. I attribute this transformation to Orameh's incredible ability to teach intuitively and give every student the personal attention he or she needs, making each class feel uniquely tailor-made and free of ego or pretention. Every student is able to work at their own level and pace, while gaining a wonderfully rounded and clear understanding of every aspect of the practice (and have a lot of fun along the way!). I have lost count of the number of times we finished class and all I could say was "wow" as I left class feeling a hundred times better than when I walked in, a spring in my step and a smile on my face. I am indebted to Orameh for helping me discover the joy of yoga and for giving me the confidence to reconnect with my physical self in a way I know will serve me for the rest of my life. I think of Orameh not just as a yoga teacher, but as a healer, a guide, and now a friend." - Caroline Parkinson
"Orameh teaches students to be accepting of where we currently stand, while giving us just the right amount of push for us to grow stronger. I have had a pretty severe back pain for over 10 years and after practicing regularly with Orameh, my back pain has noticeably reduced.
I have also learned to manage work stress & became more calm. In addition, I have eventually learned to hold poses that I had never thought I could do! Every time I finish practice with her, I feel calm, peaceful & happy. I'm thankful for meeting Orameh because she has helped me become a happier, healthier person inside & out." - Chihiro Thompson
“Orameh is a gifted yogi and teacher, her classes combine a grounded mix of yoga techniques that warm and stretch the body, strengthen the core and create an energized, mindful experience. I’ve been practicing yoga for seventeen years now and I find that Orameh’s classes are some of the best in LA!” - Barbara Cohen
"Between work and graduate school, it is hard for me to find time to take care of my body, but the significant improvement I feel after Orameh's classes keeps me coming back on a regular basis, and provides me with the incentive to maintain my yoga practice even when life gets overwhelming. Orameh does a great job of leading students to explore subtle movements and the connection between mind, body and breath within complex poses and series, which is not an easy thing to do. Moreover, she makes students of all ages and abilities feel comfortable and welcome. I often find myself waiting for her next class, and my only regret is that I can't take them every day." - Sasha
"Practicing yoga with Orameh changed my view about yoga. Working with Orameh has changed my life. Orameh’s warm, loving energy and compassionate teaching style is welcoming. Every class is an opportunity to learn something new and to explore something within myself physically, mentally and emotionally…" - Donnie Cervantes
"Orameh was my first yoga teacher in LA back in 2013 and our resonance with one another was immediate. She helped guide me through the journey of discovering a practice that’s become one of my most important and meaningful outlets of expression, at a time when I needed it most. She’s a woman who inspires people lucky enough to know her to breathe deeper, open their hearts to the world, think and act with intent, and tap into the energy around them; a woman who became a support system for me through one of the toughest periods of my life. Today I stand a little taller, sink a little deeper, and challenge myself to open up, breathe, and grow. Endlessly grateful for all her guidance and support over the years and proud to call her a teacher, a mentor, and a dear friend." - Matt Pappo
“Within a short period of time after I started attending Orameh’s classes I began to experience changes in myself like having more balance, better reflexes, more awareness of my body and my inner feelings. I also became more aware of the way I breathe and how to use it to relax or to help me accomplish a difficult asana…always reminding us to breathe, and to respect and honor our body, but at the same time encouraging us to accomplish what we were trying to do. That way my thought of ‘I cannot do this, I am too old to do it’ shifted to ‘Yes I can do it!’ What I appreciated the most was her commitment with the practice, and her students, always willing to give the best of herself and her knowledge in order to help us grow from within. With her teachings my approach to Yoga shifted to a life journey instead of a physical practice." - Astrid Alcala
