"Miriam! I have to tell you I have been searching the internet for years in hopes of finding a source to replace my beloved "Let's Do Yoga!" video. At last, garyjyogi responded to a question on about.com about favorite yoga tapes. I am forever grateful for his response. Your yoga system has sustained me for many years through many crises. The simple clear instruction was just what I needed to safely experience the benefits of a deep yoga practice. Each time I use it I feel so at peace, so complete. The meditation at the end is truly a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of yoga on your dvds."

"Dear Miriam, I have followed along with my "Let's Do Yoga!" VHS tape almost every day for the last 20 years. I am 67 years old now and attribute my good health in not insignificant portion to this video. It is the best video I have ever come across by far!! I'm thrilled that it is now available on DVD."

"They say your first yoga teacher is like your first lover. You never forget her, and nobody else is quite the same. Miriam was my first yoga teacher in 1968. Her classes were in a different place altogether. The way she gave of herself – she didn’t’ leave at the end, she stayed and talked to us for an hour afterwards about all things related to the yoga worldview and way of being. It still boggles my mind to remember how much she knew about the world at such a young age. My memories of Miriam still provide insight and inspiration for me after all these years. I became a yoga teacher, did my PhD in Mind/Body Medicine and my dissertation on yoga in longtime practitioners."
"I was lucky enough to have Miriam Serman as my first yoga teacher. Through her knowledge, inspiration and enthusiasm I have continued my practice for 40 years. I have maintained contact with Mim over the decades and she has continued to stay current with every new development in the yogic environment through her study of physiology, tantra, nutrition and meditation. I find she is an even better teacher now than when we met. Miriam is also the embodiment of how youthful a regular yoga practice can keep you, looking at least 20 years younger than her chronological age.
Miriam's video series is still the best instructional yoga I have seen to this point. In addition to her yoga knowledge, her verbal skills and voice make it exciting to join her in a class. She clearly articulates how and why asanas can be done correctly and safely whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned practitioner. I can't recommend these DVDs highly enough nor can I even count how many people I helped introduce to yoga using this instructional series. Warning: her voice, especially in relaxation segments, is addictive and habit forming. You have a wonderful experience in store for you." Namaste and blessings,

"Miriam was my first yoga teacher. That was in 1976, before yoga was hip or trendy, Miriam taught her classes in a gym at Boston University. I will never forget her classes. They were, I now realize, an introduction to what mastery is. Not only did I learn poses; I was in the presence of brilliance. She showed me, through example, what a master does.
I have taken so many yoga classes since those decades long ago. Classes, large and small, of all styles of yoga. No one has ever compared to Miriam. No one can teach yoga the way Miriam teaches yoga; she is a rare gem that still stands out. In fact, I bring Miriam with me into every yoga class I've ever attended since she left Boston in 1980. It's emotional and at times bittersweet. There have been classes that I've taken where I've missed Miriam so much, tears poured from my eyes, rolled down my cheeks and I would remember her voice and her wisdom.
I am still friends with Miriam as she is one of the great gifts of my life. I've lived 3000 miles from her since she left the East coast 32 years ago, but time and distance have not dimmed the light that comes from Miriam. Her light grows ever stronger."
