Yoga Therapy for People with newly diagnosed or early-stage parkinson's disease with Steve Rooney
6 Classes over 2 Weeks
Monday, Wednesday and Friday Mornings 7:30-9:00am
July 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24
$200
Yoga provides us with skills for self-care that are beneficial for managing Parkinson's and maximizing quality of life. This intensive course will get you started on developing a personal yoga practice, mixing a lecture format with active asana practice.
Yoga is a great tool to increase your range of motion, build core strength, reduce aches and pains, improve circulation, and cultivate peace and equanimity. These benefits are especially important when one is newly diagnosed, to maintain a positive outlook and establish a practice that can support you through difficult times.
This course is suitable for people with little or no yoga experience as well as experienced practitioners. Enrollment includes a $50 credit towards a one-hour private session after the course has ended, to allow you to develop your home yoga practice with Steve's guidance, one-on-one.

Summer Intensive:
The Five dimensions of breath
with leslie Kaminoff
Monday-Saturday, August 10-15, 2009
The yoga teachings speak of humans as possessing five "sheaths," or dimensions of being: physical, vital, mind/senses, intellect, and bliss. The principles that allow us to understand them all can be easily understood by observing the breathing body. In this six-day immersion, Leslie Kaminoff will devote each day to viewing our bodies from the distinct perspective of one of these 5 dimensions. On the sixth day, we will seek to integrate them all through practice, discussion and meditation.
