My intention is to offer classes which are sensitive to individuals' needs presented in a nurturing, creative and inspiring nature, in a safe format, delivered at a mindful pace. Sounds like a lot to deliver, so I have had my "work" cut-out for me! Here is what students have to say .
In Service,
Pam
"Through Pam's supportive and empowering teaching that is focused, yet open enough to encourage and inspire students of all ages to continue to discover and to rediscover their body, mind and spirit connections, I began to "open." For me, Pam's teaching rekindled my passion for lifelong learning through body and spirit. She is a teacher who is a learner. Through her compassionate, empowering , holistic expertise, we learn and we learn to believe, not only in the teacher Pam, but to believe in the teacher within ourselves.
"With joy let me recommend Pamela O'Brien."
Susan Field,

Geneva, Ill
"Pamela is a deeply caring and thoughtful instructor of yoga and meditation. I can recommend her highly because of personal experience and because I have observed her with others who have come to her. The honest truth is that I sought out Pam for help when a beloved family member experienced anxiety issues. I knew that she would help this person, as she had helped me, and she did. She taught (this person) how to calm the mind, to breath correctly and how to deal with anxiety without medication. These are life skills (this person) uses to this day."
Chris McKechnie, Geneva Middle School
Formerly of Delnor Health & Wellness
Center's Membership Services
"Pam O'Brien offers a focused yoga and meditation instruction that has improved my outlook on life in a very short period of time. I have learned centered breathing and visualization techniques, as well as yoga techniques that help to center both my body and my mind. I notice the effect of her classes all day and all week, not just when I am in class.
"Pam has a gentle, caring approach that is welcoming and appealing for both me and my 13-year-old daughter. She, too, has enjoyed the benefits of stress and anxiety reduction. Just last night she told me that she felt Pam had a great instinct as to how to work with young people and that she felt Pam really cared about her as a person, not just a student.
Bravo to Pam O'Brien!"
Martha O'Connor, Geneva
Law student, Northwestern University
"I've taken private and group classes with Pam for 6 years. Over that course of time, I had surgery on my ankle twice, and a hip replacement. Her classes played a vital role in my rehab from those surgeries.
"Pam is very skilled at recognizing the unique physical abilities of her students and adjusting her instruction so everyone involved can benefit equally; She is the best."
William Waters, Geneva
