WHAT PEOPLE SAY
You are such a wonderful yoga teacher! As a beginner, I really appreciate your clear, calm, reassuring manner, and how you simplify each pose so that I can do each one successfully. I also love your self- deprecating sense of humor; in these challenging times, I think maintaining such a sense of humor is vital to our wellbeing. Can't wait for your next series of yoga classes!

Why Yoga For Cancer ?
Happily, there is an abundance of scientific research showing how yoga benefits those with cancer. Improved energy, better sleep, quicker recovery, and a reduction in anxiety and depression are among the many reported results.
I have been practicing yoga for 20 years and have been teaching for 17. In my own moments of ill health, I have found myself drawn to my yoga mat more than ever. Sometimes I would just lie there and allow my body to rest. Yoga is an ally, a supporter, moving you forward to a better life. And it does so quietly – so quietly, you might not even notice it happening.
