"Thank you for sharing your journey Vishnu; I enjoyed reading it as I also enjoy your posts almost daily. The wisdom that comes through you influences my being each day that I read your posts. My path got "serious" at Yoga on Main too and I am still forever grateful to Shiva Das and the many others I met during that part of my journey, including you. From the few interactions we had, I keep many of your teachings with me. It was you, during an Ayurvedic cooking class, who taught me about being present while cooking and eating. It was you, during a private session, who taught me a sequence and mantra to support my constitution that I still use to this day. It was you, during a yoga class, who helped me connect to the Divine when it was new and difficult for me to do. So thank you for your commitment as it has influenced my commitment also. Namaste, Vishnu."- Danica G. Wrench
"Trying Ayurveda has completely changed my life. 2011 into 2012 was a really rough year for me and it compounded a lot of stress and anxiety issues I'd been struggling with for a long time. This was further complicated by two serious health issues. I got an email from Mellow about a discount on an Ayurveda consultation, so I decided to check it out. I felt like balance was what was really missing from my life and I hoped that Ayurveda would allow me to find that balance without medications and diagnoses and repeated doctor's visits. I had no idea that Vishnu would start me on a path to finding a whole new me! I feel like when I visit him I'm seeing a doctor, a nutritionist, a therapist, a masseuse, and a little bit of a psychic all in one. He sensed more about my body in our first ten minutes than any doctor has been able to in my whole life. I'm practicing new breathing techniques and I started doing just five minutes of yoga every morning. It's a struggle, especially changing my diet, but I am so much less anxious than I used to be and my blood pressure is lower than it's ever been. The best part is the Vishnu recognizes this is my journey, so if I don't follow through on something there's no judgment, he just encourages me to get back on it. This is definitely a lifestyle change I plan to continue with for a long time to come!" - Susan Wysor
" I decided to book an appointment with Vishnu not because of any medical condition but just to gain a deeper understanding of my specific body and how to take care of it. After several sessions as well as lifestyle and eating adjustments, I felt a significant difference and shift not only in my body but in my mind as well. I felt more energized and capable of tackling my day and I know when and how to eat to maintain that energy level. Mentally I feel more informed about how to maintain my health and am equipped with the clarity of mind to make more rational decisions regarding my health. I'm so grateful for having found Vishnu and learning about Ayurveda and the plethora of benefits to this lifestyle change." - Ani Sevag
"Despite being an active and athletic person, and eating well by most people’s standards, I always have had the tendency to be “chunky” and gain weight easily. In recent years, it was becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain my weight and my frustration grew. Through Ayurveda, Vishnu helped me find the right way to eat for my body type. I have lost almost 20 pounds and I have been able to keep it off for almost a year now, without feeling restricted or having to “try hard.” What I most love about Ayurveda is its holistic approach. In order to create balance in a person, weight is not looked at in isolation. The whole person is taken into account: body type, lifestyle, life circumstances, personality, and overall health, are all taken into account to design a plan tailored to the individual. Ayurveda is about overall health and harmony in one’s life. Vishnu is a very talented Ayurvedic practitioner. He is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him." - Luisa Ossa
"Vishnu is a very skilled, attentive, and compassionate practitioner. I have learned so much from working with him, about Ayurveda, about myself, about the nature of the universe! If you are new to Ayurveda, the ideas may seem overwhelming or confusing at first, but Vishnu meets you where you are to help make the tools of Ayurveda relevant for you in your life. He is also a great teacher if you have the opportunity to study with him!" - Emily Wishnick
"Panchakarma is an amazing gift to yourself and your mind, body, and spirit. With Vishnu, I have returned again and again not only because of the amazing healing that occurred under his care but also the healing that continued long after the treatments stopped. Vishnu individualizes the protocols for you, where you are. He supports, nourishes, and takes time to educate you in order for you to receive the most benefit. During the process, he makes himself completely accessible to you. The treatments themselves that I have received have mostly been blissful experiences that went very deep. What may arise during panchakarma is experiencing every possible emotion, sensation. During this sensitive time, Vishnu holds space and supports. I highly recommend panchakarma with him."- Emily Wishnick
"My experience with Vishnu has always been excellent. His ability to gently guide my body, mind, and soul through the healing process has always been soothing and profound. After over three years of working with him, I am blessed to have learned the natural rhythms of my body and how to keep myself grounded and in alignment through his teachings. His consultations on diet and bodywork continue to amaze me. Highly recommended." - Lakshmi Devi
"I first met and worked with Antonio in his yoga "fundamentals" class, where I quickly learned he was no ordinary yoga teacher. His approach to yoga, and the integration of Ayurvedic principles into the class and practice, are unique in my experience, and profoundly special. Due to the small classes and Antonio's Ayurvedic expertise, he was able to tailor my yoga experience to best support the systems of my body and particular health challenges I faced at any given time. His wisdom, insight, and sensitivity to the needs of the individual are hallmarks of his approach, which includes never losing his sense of humor. This man is a gifted practitioner, teacher, and special human being. I have worked with him as a private client as well, and introduced others to his class -- the most recent of whom afterward said, "Now that's what a yoga class oughta be!" - Rebecca Freedman
"An Ayurveda consultation with Vishnu is a valuable experience on so many levels. His ability to truly listen to his client allows him to assist you to uncover what the real issue/need is. The support and dedication that he shows his client is comforting. He truly wants each person to live a joyous life. His many gifts that I have experienced are marma therapy, massage, breathing techniques, and coaching on eating for my body type. For me learning about Ayurveda has been life-changing. Vishnu and his guidance has played a big part in this change." - Kathie Pitochelli
"His joyful spirit, gifted hands, and warm heart make any time spent with Vishnu a delight. Treat your body and spirit to his healing touch." - Patrick Hauck
"Vishnu possesses a unique blend of down-to-earth life experience and deep spiritual wisdom. Blended together, he is a special practitioner that can offer a wide range of service to a wide range of people. Thanks, Vishnu for your care and support!" - Donna Wang
"Vishnu's magic touch provided true relief for the back pain I was suffering. His approach is very thoughtful - we talked before the session, he listened carefully to my concerns and created a relaxing and personal experience that met all my needs. Awesome!" - Kiki Judd
"Vishnu's/Antonio's Ayurveda Cooking class was really incredible. He spent time with us going over the basic principles of Ayurveda and then we jumped right into preparing seven different dishes. I can't believe how organized he was with all of the many ingredients and dishes. His process of teaching and preparing flowed so well and it was easy to understand each stage. We all sat down to a delicious dinner with all of the yummy dishes we prepared. I can't wait till the next class and would recommend everyone join us. It's a celebration of healthy delicious food". - Jessica Farrell
"I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for Antonio's Men's Health class in Spring of 2010. Something told me that I had to do it, that something was right. The classes started off with a little yoga to loosen us up and then delved into discussions regarding health and well-being. Antonio brought a wide range of knowledge and understanding of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Eastern medicine to each class. His class helped me open my mind to new ways to maintain and improve my health. I felt comfortable opening up to Antonio and starting discussions about issues that were on my mind. Antonio is very knowledgeable and approachable, I look forward to taking his next class!" - Ted Lucas
