When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress Disease Connection
by Gabor Matte, MD (click cover)
Wonderful and accessible insights into how our stress affects us, an important book for those working with children ~Books We Recommend
Click cover. "Train Your Mind to Change Your Brain" by Sharon Begley.
The is a book filled with reasons to do yoga as it celebrates the ability of the brain to rewire and to learn new tricks. We can do this at any age. It's filled with science and wonderful stories of why this all can work. A heartening book to share.
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!
SOLA STIKK YOGA: For Cancer Survivors
More on the adaptive benefits of SOLA Stikk Yoga from a participant in a Women Beyond Cancer Retreat:
“The beauty of the SOLA Yoga Stikk is that it allows the benefits of yoga to be accessible to more people. Yoga had been recommended to me as a gentle form of exercise and a wonderful body, mind and spirit connection. It sounded great, since I was not one to exercise on a regular basis nor did I particularly enjoy it. I tried Yoga several times yet I did not have the balance necessary and my body just did not want to contort into the poses. I was then given the opportunity to try Yoga with Nicole Hamory’s SOLA Yoga Stikk. The Stikk supported me and provided me with the balance necessary to participate and enjoy the benefits as well. Congratulations, Nicole, for including those of us who may not be regular exercise enthusiasts so that we may also reap the benefits that Yoga can provide!” Deborah Mutter Miami, Florida

SOLA Yoga Stikk: Adaptive Yoga
We are about to go into our second printing of the SOLA Yoga Stikk manual/DVD. These stikks have been sold internationally, as well as from coast to coast in the US. Check it out on Youtube A great way to gain confidence, balance, or just deepen your yoga practice. Thank you, Nicole Hamory Cavallaro, for the wonderful creation!
“I have Yoga in the past but never did I enjoy it as much as the SOLA Yoga Stikk by Nicole Hamory. It feels even better the days that follow. Your body feels so good as if you have exercised for hours even though you had only spent an hour and the Stikk has done all the work for you.. I am definitely going to continue the SOLA Yoga Stikk practice! ~ Marie-Therese Retourne Washington, D.C.
Sharing Stress Breaks with Nurses and Social Workers

This past week GreenTREE Yoga has been able to share ideas about yoga stress breaks at several annual conferences:
The Utah Domestic Violence Council, the Utah Nurses Association, and the Utah Society for Perianesthesia Nurses (USPAN). Folks seemed very receptive to incorporating a few simple stretching and breathing breaks into their busy days, both for self care and for their patients/clients/families.
One of our more popular suggestions is three quick breathing breaks to get ‘unstuck’. We will have the free audio available next week, so check back. The handout is available now Click Here. Please share your ideas on how you use these breaks. Breathe Easy!
