PATIENT & PEER COMMENTS: (Request contact info from youngbear@pacbell.net )
Young Bear is a wonderful teacher. His honest and direct style coupled with positive encouragement has enabled me to learn how to focus, strengthen my self-esteem and reach a new level of peace in a very short time. The fact that I know he believes in and wants the best for me as a student is why I trust him so much. I believe trust is a key element in the student/teacher relationship. Something Young Bear has achieved very well with me.
On a personal level, Young Bear has taught me to still the waters of my mind and listen to the voice of my heart. He has shown me that there is a path that leads to knowing ones own purpose in the universe and it is largely because of his teaching that I am now walking that path. I have no doubt that his other students would have similar feelings about his ability to connect, teach, and move.

Its my honor and privilege to write about Youngbear and his skills. He is a healer-peer of mine and we have exchanged services as well as learned from each other.
Youngbear is honest, and deeply focused as well as humble. Hes a longtime practitioner of meditation, energy manipulation, and yoga. He has shown commitment and devotion in his concern for helping others as well as his self-growth and development.
I have been studying and practicing in the healing arts for over twenty-five years. At this point in my personal walk in spirit, Youngbear is one of the select few who is competent to deal with me on my path. He is advanced in all of his practices and yet unassuming.

I have had the opportunity to witness the teaching abilities of Youngbear Roth personally, as his student and also in observation of his interaction with other students, and several things are abundantly clear. He has an uncanny ability to access each individuals learning skills, and this involves knowledge of where each one might be on the learning curve, and the grace and fluidity to tailor the necessary knowledge to make it accessible to many different needs, sometimes even with those with learning challenges. It is a beautiful thing to experience, and has aided my spiritual advancement immeasurably, as well as countless others, and for this I will be eternally grateful.

...I was going through a very difficult time in my life a romantic breakup, a traumatic medical experience, self-esteem issues, and a geographical move. ...I saw Youngbear over the course of four months and my life dramtically changed for the better. ...Youngbear helped me to realize that I did not have self-esteem issues my real problem was not knowing myself. Using tantric yoga, we started to build a foundation for myself. I learned so much about life in general from our sessions. He was able to relate to me in a way that no one has before and I found the courage to make changes in my life... .

I have known Youngbear Roth for nearly 17 years as his dental hygienist. Through the years Youngbear has witnessed my gradual physical decline due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and sporadic frozen shoulder. I was nearly forced to retire from the profession I loved. At long last I finally sought out treatment from Youngbear. His program of yoga therapy and healing energy manipulation have brought me back to work pain free. I can now use these tools to prevent reoccurrence of numbness and pain in my wrists and shoulder. To see Youngbear Roth was a monumental decision that saved my career and delayed surgical intervention.
