“I had sustained several injuries which resulted in chronic pain that was limiting my practice. After working with Greg, much of my pain has now abated and I have been able to grow my practice. He not only knows what he is doing but he is fun to work with.” - Dr. Paul Handleman (O.D. Osteopathic Physician)
“I had chronic shoulder and back-pain for years from bad overall posture and a demanding work life. For many years I depended on medical treatment, but it always was just a matter of time until the pain came back. I heard about Greg Hartwig via a good friend and decided to enroll in a personal Yoga training. I have been doing this training now weekly for almost 3 years. The result: my shoulder and lower back pains are history! I never had to see a doctor again and I feel energized after each session. Greg is a great coach and exceptional personality from whom any person can learn ... an experience which touches all aspects of life and personal well being. I highly recommend Greg.” - Jon Andri (JOERG, Vice President North America)
“Greg was instrumental in helping me recover from a herniated disc without the need for surgery.” - Mike Anderson
“Greg Hartwig’s gift lies in his ability to see people where they are and his ability to masterfully guide them to where they want to go. He has taken the tools of Yoga and personalized them to a profound level of effectiveness.” - Dr. Ron Harwin, DC
“I have worked with Greg individually since 2001. Initially, I had back problems and my doctor was prescribing pain medication: a chiropractor referred me to Greg and I have been both pain- and medication-free for a long time now. The yoga then evolved into a daily practice, and has deepened considerably over the months and years.”
“Greg has a remarkable ability to understand the body at many levels, from muscular structure to more subtle energy flows. He never judges, listens well, instructs clearly, proceeds carefully, and is consistently helpful. I trust him.”
“Greg works effectively with everything from specific physical problems (pulled muscles or recovery from more serious injuries) to personal growth and meditation. The experience deepens over time. He is solidly grounded in classical yoga and can supplement traditional practice with other exercises based on personal needs.”
“I can recommend Greg enthusiastically and with no reservations whatsoever, for both beginners and more advanced practitioners.” - Joel Kaufman
“Greg’s work goes far beyond being very proficient at rehabilitating an injured body. He has an uncanny ability to recommend the correct Yoga postures which address me on all levels; physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. His work is profound, transformative and compassionate, and it lays the foundation for my new life.” - Vicki Chang
“I was referred to Greg by a chiropractor for help with a difficult and long standing shoulder problem for which I had seen MDs, other health professionals and done physical therapy. I have been working with Greg for some time, and my shoulder has been stable now for over a year and a half. I can still feel the problem lurking, but to have it stable for this long is significant. We are continuing to work on related issues to ensure the stability continues. There is no question Greg knows what he is doing, and I am experiencing the results. I give him the highest recommendation.” - Brett Weinstein
“In the past two decades, I’ve taken yoga classes and private lessons from over two dozen instructors and Greg Hartwig is the best. I’ve been taking lessons from him for many years. Greg has a deep understanding of how muscles work together and individually. In fact, he is better than anybody that I’ve ever met, including doctors and other trainers. As a result, Greg is fabulous (and has unique talents) for helping to improve yoga, recover from injury, improve posture, and help with other sports. I very highly recommend him.” - Michelle Miller
"With Greg's guidance and coaching my body feels 100% better. I'm more flexible, I have more energy, and my lower back pain (which was starting to interfere with my work) is vastly improved. And Greg's knowledge of anatomy, physiology, body mechanics, and yoga coupled with his personable teaching style means that you're getting yoga that's intelligently customized to your needs rather than just learning a random bunch of poses. My only wish is that I started doing this ten years ago!" - Phil Lapsely
"I started working with Greg 3 weeks after total hip replacement surgery. His techniques for improving my strength and range of motion had me back to my normal activities without pain much faster than expected. He understands the mechanics of the human body, I always feel like I am making progress" - Brian Roach
“Greg Hartwig has been central in my recovery from a hip replacement operation and expansion of my body awareness . His ability to diagnose movements and postures producing discomfort and range of motion limitations through watching me move, walk and stand still amazes me. After diagnosing, Greg then precisely communicates postures and movements changes to improve my functioning and lessen discomfort. During the process of first diagnosis and then recovery begun a year and a half ago, I repeatedly consulted a specialized chiropractor, two physical therapists, an osteopath, two Feldenkrais teachers, a weekly yoga class and Greg in addition to my orthopedic surgeon. Of all the non-surgical assistance, Greg has clearly been the most helpful to me and the only individual specialist I continue to see on a weekly basis. In addition to the physical benefits, I always find my visits with him interesting, enjoyable and supportive of my spiritual as well as physical development.” - Lee Robbins (LeeRobbins@post.Harvard.edu)
“Simply the best. Greg has a unique ability to be with his students wherever they are in their yoga practice. He teaches with insight, not just learning." - Lisa Suneson (Teacher)
“Greg brings knowledge, inventiveness, experience, and humor--all seemingly inexhaustible--to his teaching.” - David B Solnit (Technical Writer, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc.)
