Yoga Therapy for Caregivers
Whether it’s your children, your parents, your significant other, pet, patients and/or clients, caregiving evolves into a full time job with no days (or nights) off. Still, we can take time every day to nurture ourselves with care, calmness and soul-soothing in the midst of the daily responsibilities. Through multi-dimensional practices including breath led movement, breathing techniques, visualization, gestures and mantra, we’ll ensure caring for yourself is incorporated into the mix.

November is a popular time to practice gratitude. This month's meditation will highlight breathing and meditation practices that encourage contentment and the ability to embrace the blessings we have in our lives.

August Pranayama
Why practice breathing when our body does it on its own? Because the mind and breath both reflect and influence each other.

Because the health system of Yoga measures our years in the number of breaths we take, rather than the number of years we are alive.
Yoga Therapy for Osteoporosis (a strength-building class) August
