  "Divine Spark Yoga is the perfect name for Wendy O's work. In each class, I feel an opening, a release, and, yes, a spark. And though yoga may be the vessel by which this occurs and though yoga may be taught in many studios, there is a difference in Wendy O's class. Wendy's clear perception, vast knowledge and gentle guidance are to be treasured. And her classes, well, they're divine. Thank you, Ms. O!"

  "Wendy Obstler is a wonderful yoga teacher. She possesses a keen ability to personalize her teaching~ tailoring each of her classes to the ability levels and needs of her students. Wendy has been one of my yoga teachers for three years, and in that time, I've been continually amazed at her commitment to professional growth. She is constantly learning about the body and alignment, and brings that knowledge into every class. Wendy's joy, sensitivity, knowledge, and compassion make her an extremely unique yoga teacher. I am grateful for being one of her students. Through her teaching I have become more conscious of patterns in my postures and alignment. I am now more thoughtful and deliberate with my yoga practice. I highly recommend her classes."

  "Wendy is amazing! She was my first yoga teacher, and definitely responsible for my love of yoga three years later. Wendy teaches students to keep their bodies safe through proper alignment and movement. She is truly passionate and committed to her students and her profession. She tailors her classes to the needs of her students. It is always a joy to be in Wendy's presence. She is a wonderful teacher, and I recommend her classes to everyone!"

  "Wendy is an wonderful teacher! As a fellow yoga therapist, I am consistently impressed by her work, and I seek out her classes whenever I can. She is constantly learning and studying, and this is reflected in the high quality of her classes. Wendy infuses her classes with grace, humor and compassion -- all while maintaining specific alignment principles and attention to detail. Whether you are a new student or an advanced yogi, Wendy has plenty to offer for all levels and abilities. I find her classes to be the perfect antidote to a stressful, hectic life in Los Angeles. "

  "Wendy is really astoundingly gifted--both as a practitioner of Yoga, and as a teacher. She has seemingly infinite patience, and a great ability to both help you achieve your goals in each session, and to also make even difficult positions seem simple and within reach. She's wonderful, and I recommend her without reservation."

  "Divine Spark Yoga's Wendy O. is simply wonderful. I have had the absolute privilege of taking two private one-on-one yoga therapy sessions with her. My experience has been life altering. Why? Because she is teaching me how to breathe again! I was shocked at how good it felt to simply breathe! It's unbelievable how our very breath can be so confined and locked up...until someone turns the key and we suddenly have access to so much more of our own oxygen! I've been practicing yoga and pranayama for several years and never have I felt a change in my breath like I did when working with Wendy. Furthermore, Wendy also addressed the ROOT CAUSE of my long time back pain and pelvic imbalance. Her knowledge blew me away as she unraveled the complexities of my postural habits that were compromising my body and causing me to have pain and tension. The sessions that I had with Wendy were akin to physical therapy. In my experience with both physical therapists and yoga teachers, Wendy's work was a beautiful, high caliber fusion of the two. Finally, Wendy approaches the body with gentleness, acute awareness, and empathetic understanding. She is a vibrant and very articulate therapist. It is a joy to be under her care! I look forward to many more visits with Wendy and I highly recommend her to all those who are looking for the utmost quality of care. - Megan Murphy"

  "I've been working with Wendy for years and I absolutely adore her. She's both knowledgeable and intuitive. When it comes to yoga, she is always hands on and will only move as fast as your body dictates. She's not only my teacher but an inspiration. I love working with her and consistently refer to her teachings throughout my every-days. She's that good. ;O)"
