A beautiful moment: The man in the red shirt before this day had only been transferred to the ground twice since his spinal cord injury. The grounding assistants surrounding him practiced floor transfers for hours at my house & studio.

Last night we had the pleasure of having Dr. Brewer, medical director at Canyon Ranch Health Resort, as a special guest. He educated us on rheumatologic diseases and how we can make yoga a safe and comfortable experience for people with rheumatologic diseases.
