From Jyoti Spearin, program facilitator:
“So many people come to the healing practices of yoga after having bypass surgeries and heart attacks. Having worked with many students on the other side of cardiac ‘events,’ we are thrilled to be sharing this week of proven, preventive techniques with those who want to take responsibility for their heart health and do what they can to prevent the onset of heart disease.”
“This program does not require nor expect participants to know anything about yoga, nor to have any degree of flexibility - except of the mind! A willing and receptive heart is truly the only prerequisite! It is our hope that those who participate in this course will go back into their world as stellar examples of the healing and joyful gifts of yoga, inspiring others to ‘take heart’ and enjoy a conscious, healthy life!”
