What people are saying about yoga with Om Fairy…

I've known Courtney for many years but, unfortunately, live in the Los Angeles area. A few years ago, I wanted to get back into yoga but worried that I would hurt myself as I have various knee and spine issues. When she first offered to teach me online via Zoom, I was skeptical that she'd be able to correct my form or keep me from doing something to harm myself. Well, much to her credit as a good teacher, I've never hurt myself and ALWAYS feel better after a session. And since it's a one-on-one session, we can work on whatever I want, rather than doing a stock video on the internet. Some sessions my hips are tight so I want to work on that, or pay special attention to my knees, or just deep stretching; whatever it is, I have the option to modify the class to how I'm feeling in the moment.

The extra bonus of the online sessions is Courtney records them and then posts them on her Om Fairy site for me to practice whenever I want. It's incredible how my body has its standard way of doing things and even though it's a recorded video, her telling me to "turn my foot in" or "twist from your hips" is helpful; everything is tailored to my body.

If you've never taken a class from Courtney before, she has a deep understanding of the history and practice of yoga and is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy (seriously, she is like a muscle naming nerd), which I think is what helps makes her an amazing teacher. If you are looking to start practicing or looking for online sessions that will be tailored to you, I cannot recommend working with Om Fairy Yoga enough.

My private yoga sessions with Courtney has been an important component to my full recovery after four months of chemotherapy and several rounds of reconstruction surgery. She is a healer in many ways! With Courtney's combination of great intuition, great listening skills and full mastery of the yoga practice - both on a personal and professional level - she develops and teaches the best individual practices based on the clients' personal goals. She puts the "Om" in my hectic world as an extremely busy restaurateur and mother. Thankful after each and every session as Courtney is so instrumental in achieving my personal goals of a healthy mind, body and soul!

I have been practicing yoga on and off for years. It was always fun to be stretchy and bendy, but I never really understood what yoga could offer me until I started taking classes with you. I didn't know the meaning of discipline or strength; I certainly had no idea that I could actually find FUN in difficult physical and emotional practice. You showed me all of that and introduced me to aerial yoga which has profoundly changed my life. I know 1,000 people will argue that this is not a 'traditional' yoga practice, but discovering aerial yoga and learning it under your wing acquainted me with my body in such a way that I was utterly unable to accomplish before. Now when I'm in New York, I take aerial or yoga classes every damn day, no matter how busy or exhausted I am. It all started with you and your beautiful teachings. Nothing matches the peace I feel after your classes. I value you immensely as a teacher and friend...

What is an Om Fairy? I’ll tell you. Think artist + product marketing + coding techie turned yogi. I literally have not met a woman [besides my mom] that can do it all! She combines her knowledge and love of art, culinary adventure, yoga, ayurveda and modern research to offer you Om Fairy School Of Yoga. 🔻

I just completed 50 hours of Aerial Yoga study with her and what I can tell you is that Courtney Krishnamurthy is a skilled and thorough, wise and playful teacher. She provides a safe space to work through trust and fear, allowing you to find your own way to flight. I cannot say enough about my experience spanning from basics to therapeutics to acrobatics, ayurveda, marmani and sound healing to supportive and loving friendship. I love this lady. And I know you will too.

Taking your classes filled me with joy, confidence, and community. You are full of brilliance, knowledge, and fun, which I've so deeply appreciated as a student.

Courtney has been an integral part of my yoga journey. Her guidance has always been authentic and personal. She approaches classes in a humble and grounded way, never hesitating to share her own lessons of personal growth on and off the mat. I think that's the key to the community she cultivates between herself and her students. When I was newly certified as a 200hr teacher, Courtney helped me to find my own voice and style by reminding me to remove fear and ego from the experience to really connect with my practice, myself, and the yogis that practice with me. When I moved away, losing my regular practice in classes with her was such a hard thing! Thank goodness she has amazing videos on her website so I could continue practicing with her on the go!

THANK YOU! I definitely left this workshop with so many new and fun ways to use my wheel and it really opened me up to new ways of incorporating the wheel into my daily practice, whether I need give myself added support in a pose or I want to spice it up and make the pose a bit more challenging. I had a blast!

I just tried a couple of your short flows as I’m attempting to ease into movement after being sick for over 3 weeksand at the same time dealing with a back injury... I’m recovering now and I found your Om Fairy emails and went on to your web site. I did a couple Hasta Vinyasa and Hip Strengthening, and they felt amazing. You and your studio are lovely, and I appreciated the precision and detail in your videos. Other yoga practitioners are now offering online classes, but the quality of yours are superior... I really wanted to connect with you, to let you know how you are helping me and others during this time of pandemic and social isolation.

I have taken a few classes with Courtney including aerial yoga, yoga with wheel at the Om Fairy studio and Creativity with Props training at Breathe Together Yoga. She is very professional and truly cares for her clients. She is very creative with her sequence and her play list. I tend to get motion sickness for aerial yoga so she would check on me in the group class and had ginger candy and water ready for me at her studio. She is very knowledgeable with Anatomy, prop use and provides modifications throughout the practice. I enjoy practicing with her upbeat and caring personality. Highly recommend the Om Fairy studio.

I’ve been highly intrigued in aerial yoga for a very long time. Aerial yoga, however, hasn’t been a part of my yogi practice mainly because I was unaware of any studio in the area that offered it. Before diving right into a Flying Lotus class, I decided to take the aerial yoga workshop led by Courtney. I had such a great time at the workshop, and I felt surprisingly comfortable doing all of the poses including the inversion! Courtney is such an awesome teacher. She’s also very charismatic and made the class super fun.
