Challenging conditions occur to people of all ages, cultures, and religions. Transformative Yoga Therapy provides the tools to improve the quality of your life in private sessions and small group classes designed to meet your special needs.

You will learn to bring deeper awareness to your physical body and greater consciousness to your mind and emotions. Specially modified Yoga practices are adapted to your limited energy, strength, flexibility and mobility. This individual, specialized attention opens Yoga's gifts for every body.

In addition to the adapted physical postures, I teach breathing techniques, guided imagery, and visualization practices that bring profound relaxation to the mind. These practices are particularly helpful in dealing with the mental and emotional stress of living with a serious condition. They create a unity of body, breath, emotions and mind which promotes the deep healing powers that lie within each of us.

Both recent and on-going research shows that Yoga has far-reaching effects on many conditions. "...therapeutic yoga focuses on techniques that calm the mind, increase lung capacity and reduce stress," according to a recent Wall Street Journal article which also notes that the National Institutes of Health is funding clinical trials of Yoga for treating insomnia and multiple sclerosis. (For more information, see www.clinicaltrials.gov.)
