Yoga helps folks with special needs
If you are looking for a way to bring calm and to build stamina for folks with special needs, watch this video and read the article just published in the Chicago Tribune: "Yoga offers benefits for people with special needs" As one of the teachers recognizes, "The beauty of yoga is that it helps you wherever you are at," said Fakroddin. Gadi Revivo, a pediatrician who specializes in rehabilitation, says that even though yoga is thousands of years old, it brings something new to his special-needs patients. Listen to the video and look through the article for a lot of good information and links to more programs.

Yoga for Compassion Fatigue
It was so fun to share some yoga for compassion fatigue ideas with the social workers from Liberty Dialysis (from UT,CO, and ID) today. Some comments:
” I love the way you connected the yoga so closely with the social work.”
“Presenter was approachable and down to earth. I loved the presentation of the brain/science research based in science.”
“It was a nice balance of thought and practice — it reminded me of what i “used to do’ — inspires mre to practice, to start up again. And I feel calmer than I have felt since last spring! Thank you! It was just great!! You have piqued my interest in the science side — and the social work connection.”
If you have a group that might benefit from some of these ideas, please get in touch. Offered for both nurses and social workers CE credits!
