Yoga for trauma

me helpful and informed resources on issues dealing with trauma, visit the Trauma Justice Center website.

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

“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.
