Yoga is accessible for every body type; at any stage in one's life; and any individual that is open to its infinite possibilities. The first step is to open up and breathe life in; allowing our natural healing capacity to have the space to perform its purpose. Our bodies are made up of intricate layers of intelligence.
When given the correct tools, the body can begin to self-correct. I believe that the practice helps us to peel back the layers of ourselves and reveal hidden truths. Some of those truths may have been hindering us along the way. I strongly believe that my practice with Wendy had a huge impact on the success of my pregnancy, and the birth of my amazing daughter.

Wendy is not only a wonderfully knowledgeable yoga instructor, she makes everyone feel confident and comfortable during practice. Wendy has a calming and warm energy, which adds to the experience of healing, alignment, and releasing physical and mental stress. Her classes always bring me clarity and allow me to deepen my practice.

I am really impressed with Wendy. I had a bulged disc and was in constant pain. Wendy was very knowledgeable and experienced. She understood exactly what I was going through. She was very skilled in helping me strengthen without further injuring myself. She was caring, empathetic, yet not intimidated by my injury. She is smart, intuitive and very experienced. I loved working with her and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Wendy has a calming grace about her that soothes your soul as soon as you make your appointment. I have called Divine Spark Yoga for key events in my life ever since I connected with her practice, and have never failed to have a positive experience.
Her knowledge of her practice has helped me with recurring physical issues, as well as helped me deepen my own body awareness. I've referred many friends to her for her programs in fertility, and booked her months in advance for my "day of" wedding practice.
Her demeanor and spirit will help heal and re-energize you. I can

I wish there was an infinity symbol after the star rating I could check! Wendy O is a compassionate and inspired healer. As a yoga teacher, she understands that we are all challenged on different levels and she helps you find the best place for you to be. She is clear and concise, caring and empathetic. Her classes are filled with joy and laughter and I've always come out of them feeling a million times better than I was when I walked in.
I haven't taken her fertility classes but can only imagine they are imbued with the same gentleness she expresses in the yoga classes. I can say that

I am a fellow yoga therapist, and I can attest that Wendy is a wonderful teacher. She brings to the table a wealth of information about the practice of yoga, and is equipped to work with all types, whether one is new to yoga, suffering from an injury, or has a longstanding practice. She is quite experienced and extremely well trained - anyone would be in great hands with her.

Wendy is a wonderful, thoughtful, experienced and knowledgeable teacher. I met her via fertility yoga and later she did some privates with my husband & me. I appreciate her deep spiritual connection and simultaneous down-to-earth ease of being. My own journey to motherhood was filled with challenges. Wendy laid the groundwork to prepare mind, body & spirit for those challenges.

Wendy is great! I have a fairly regular yoga practice, and I started taking private yoga sessions with her because I was getting some various aches and pains after my practice. Working with her to fine tune the postures and understand proper alignment in the body has helped me so much in my practice.
She is such a calm influence, makes you feel really comfortable, and ensures that you are getting the most out of each posture. I always look forward to our class and would highly recommend her to new or seasoned yogis!

I purchased a private pre-natal yoga package for myself and a friend, and it was AMAZING. For 6 sessions, Wendy came to our home and blessed us with her skills, patience and soothing energy. She worked with us to make us stronger, helped us through our many aches and pains and prepared us for the journey ahead. She's intuitive about how far to push and where to go, and was very helpful in adjusting us into the right postures and movements. She definitely helped us along our journey towards motherhood. We miss having you in our home, Wendy!

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

What I love about Wendy's style of teaching is her ability to guide you through poses. She describes not only what you should be doing specifically (without having to look up) but also what you should be feeling and how to take the pose "all the way" if you can. She paints a visual in your mind with vivid examples and analogies that make you "get" the full benefit of each movement. Wendy also gently corrects and/or adjusts your pose as necessary so you know you are getting it right!

Wendy O is Amazing. I used to be a kick-boxer and spinner but a shoulder injury prompted me to hold off on the kickboxing and my roommate suggested yoga.
I've been taking Wendy's group classes for over a year. She is by far the best group teacher I've had in Los Angeles. Even with a large class she is able to give great attention to each student and I always feel safe in her care. When I leave her classes I am energized and excited to come back. Who knew I would ever be excited about yoga?
Most recently I have started working with her in private sessions.

I am a total yoga newbie. For all I knew, it came in a plastic cup and you had to stir the fruit in before you ate it.
My good friend and colleague Wendy O invited me to take part in a class several years ago in, of all places, the middle of my shared living room in a flat in Frankfurt, Germany. I figured, what the hell. It was right outside my bedroom door. She was just beginning her teaching path at that time, and was so patient, gentle, and helpful with all of us participating, that when she offered a weekly class a couple of years later, I jumped at the chance. Her teaching had improved, but
