We are so fortunate that the philosophy of Yoga has solutions for everything, validates our natural instincts, and is built on principles of adaptation and balance. So it’s natural and healthy to respond to triple digit weather by slowing down and seeking cool, quiet moments. When  summer brings seasonal heating and expansion, we can respond with a commensurate practice that is grounding, reductive, and calming. Here are some cooling Yoga solutions - enjoy and let me know what you think . . .
I am here for you,

Thanks to a generous grant from the APDA, there are scholarship opportunities available for the Therapeutic Yoga class at Yoga Works in Westlake Village. Call or email* if you or anyone you know could benefit from this class, which continues to be the basis  of research and development for the SYS Neuro-Therapeutic Yoga system.

The Valley chapter of the APDA is accepting reservations for a 3 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera, sailing either Jan 7 or Feb 11. We need to know if enough people are interested (and yes, I would be the Yoga teacher on board!)  Please contact: Viviane Tondeur, valleyapda@yahoo.com.

The purpose of this series is to encourage participation in wellness activities by people with PD and to provide an opportunity to learn and experience the activity in a supportive environment.  I am honored to be speaking at the first seminar in the series, which will focus on the benefits of Yoga for PD.The seminar will be held sometime this Fall.  For more information about the series and to register, contact the Chapter office at (310) 874-8722 or e-mail: apdala@parkinsonla.org.
