New Online Workshops
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some in-person workshops are being cancelled or rescheduled. The situation continues to evolve. Check for updates here. Happily, in their place, I will be teaching several online workshops in the coming months, that anyone, anywhere with internet access can attend (and if you can't attend while livestreaming, you can watch the recording). These include a 10-hour training on Re-Imagining Yoga Anatomy: Biotensegrity, Myofascia and Breath-Based Movement, which runs over four consecutive Sunday starting July 19th. Click here for more details on this and other online workshops. Stay tuned, or sign up for my email newsletter, to learn about other online trainings as they are announced... |

Here's my 2019 update of “Health Conditions Helped by Yoga (as Shown in Scientific Studies).” The PDF contains over 40 pages of references, listing the scientific studies by condition. Embedded hyperlinks will take you to the study's abstract, or if available, to a free, full-text version of the study. For printable posters (including A4 versions), click here.
I compile this bibliography of research as a service to the yoga world and hereby give permission to copy this PDF, print it out, distribute it to others and share it on social media.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy—or as we call it Yoga As Medicine— is the selective use of various yoga tools — such as poses, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises and meditation, as well as dietary and lifestyle advice — to help people with virtually any health condition, physical or psychological. Because people's health and fitness vary, we often modify poses or use props to make the practices safe and effective. In Yoga As Medicine, we perform detailed holistic assessments of each client—evaluating body, mind, spirit and environment—and then craft a personalized yoga program. And that's precisely what we teach in our seminars and teacher trainings. Yoga therapy can be used by itself or as an adjunct to any conventional or alternative medical treatment. |

While cancer seems like a heavy topic, this book is easy to read and even funny at times. Actually less than a single chapter deals with my time in treatment. The rest is a memoir of my childhood, my life in yoga, how I brought a holistic focus to my care before, during and after treatment and lots of cool facts I uncovered along my journey. It's rated 5 Stars on Amazon and reviewers have been writing things like they could not put it down, or that it is a “surprisingly spectacular read.”

In conjunction with an online course on Yoga As Medicine on Yoga U, I recorded this video. It's over 40 minutes long, and is a good introduction to my overall approach to yoga therapy, my ideas about what yoga teachers and therapists should — and shouldn't — be doing with students with medical conditions, integrating yoga into modern medical care, etc. I had a lot of fun recording this interview and hope you enjoy it!
