“I'm not one to advertise this type of thing but in this case - I feel it is the least I can do in honoring my friend and student Lidia Lea Mahrus.

Those closest to me know that this has been one of the most physically painful weeks of my entire life. Between a grade 3 groin tear and followed almost immediately by an unbelievably strong case of cervical radiculopathy. I've been in a lot of discomfort. (#understatement)

As a result of all this I've had steroid injections, prescribed steroids, prescribed pain killers, and some sessions with chiropractor...all of this has had some small, albeit slow, positive impact.

However, NOTHING, I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has some close to bringing down my pain level like two back-to-back sessions (45 minutes and 90 minutes respectfully) with Lidia Lea Mahrus from Holding Space with Lidia Mahrus. I'm not out of the woods yet but those two sessions has brought me to down to a level that allowed me to remember my middle name and smile again. She is a healer of the highest order.

I wanted to take the moment to thank her personally but also highly recommend her services. I'm grateful to live in a world with the modern medical advances we have -- but I must admit in a skeptical world - this natural healer has brought me more relief than any injection or pill has...not even a contest.

Thankful for you this Thanksgiving, Lidia! ❤️”

I am fully Grateful for an invitation to a Yoga Journey and to practice with You in a systematic way.

A Transformative Experience

Practicing yoga with Lidia has been so much more than just movement on the mat - it has been a journey into peace, presence, and self-discovery.

Her classes aren’t about perfection or performance; they are about connection. Lidia creates a space where there is no judgment, only gentle guidance and deep respect for each person’s path.

In her presence, I felt safe to slow down, breathe, and listen to what my body and heart truly needed. The way she holds space is grounding and life-giving.

I wholeheartedly recommend her sessions to anyone longing for balance, strength, and a deeper sense of ease in life.

“Hi Lidia, I always leave our practices super relaxed and in a happy mood. There is a clear difference to me in the amount of energy that I have during open dojo practices between when we have a practice session and when we don't. I enjoy learning new poses and different ways to stretch out my body. I have even been starting to incorporate some of them into warmup before Jukido. I like it when you assist me in the stretches to push me to go farther than I could on my own. I look forward to continuing our practice into next year.”

“I remember my very first practice with Lidia. Her voice was calm her poses beautiful. My thought that day, if I ever get to accomplish what her practices are to teach me, I would be very happy and pleased, especially at my age, (63). I want to pose and look as beautiful as she...

Now over 2 years into our sessions, she has taught me that yoga is not just about posing. Meditation- being in the moment at that moment, it’s so much more. When I leave our session, I feel more fulfilled then when I started. My heart is full, my mind is calm and my body is relaxed. There are some sessions I walk into when my mind is full of worry and doubt. I am seeking an answer and when I leave I have found the answer or I am on a better path to finding one. I will talk, she will listen, answer and explain what she has learned from her masters and why it is. Just that, makes you think differently.

Lidia is very enlightening which has made me want to go deeper. She has taught me to follow my intuition and to trust. My body feels great, and more in line with my mind and soul. That’s exactly why I love our one on one sessions. Lidia sessions are wonderful for any age, I highly recommend practicing with her, she has a beautiful soul who is very caring and loving. I am proud to say she is my teacher and friend. So very Grateful to have her with me on my journey of awakening.”

“YOGA TEACHER

Who is that? It's someone who inspires you, encourages you, pushes you to go beyond where you think you can. Gives you a helping hand or nudge when you need it. Someone who accepts your limitations but doesn't let you be limited by them. That person is Lidia. I admire her as a teacher and as a person.

After years of off and on yoga (mostly off) I have been practicing with Lidia 3 days a week for over 3 years. Having moved Lidia and I now do my yoga practice via zoom.

❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️”

“As a client of Lidia’s meditation and soul talk it has helped me bring peace into my life. As someone that naturally moved a million miles an hour it is nice to spend 30 minutes to an hour to relax and recharge my batteries. Lidia doesn’t just talk she listens, and through that listening you discover the answer to your problem yourself with her guidance. If you want peace and tranquility in your life and to have it balanced between meditation and talking Lidia is the right teacher for you.”

Monica Johnson Bridges

“I never thought yoga was for me, but it was recommended by someone important to me, and I knew Lidia from elsewhere, so I decided to give it a try.

Now I don't feel complete without it. Lidia's is a safe place where I can learn what my body, my mind, and my heart are capable of, and teach them that they really can do so much more. I always feel both challenged and and ultimately relaxed. Lidia herself is a firm but so very gentle guide. You can feel her kindness, patience, and love in every move and hear it in every word. She is a true healer, and her practice reflects that.”
