What is You Can Do It Yoga for MS™?

Let's start with what is yoga. Yoga is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years. It is a practice of purifying the body and the mind so that we may function to our highest level of abilities in perfect harmony. The practice of the postures combined with breathing and mediation leaves the practitioner feeling rejuvenated and relaxed and with a sense of overall wellbeing. It has been proven to reduce stress and improve mental outlook.

You Can Do It Yoga for MS™ is a specially designed yoga class by an instructor who has MS, for MS patients. All the benefits of yoga coincide with exactly what a person with MS needs; good mental outlook, a sense of wellbeing, getting in touch with your body, and helping to reduce stress.

You Can Do It Yoga for MS™ is designed to address each persons symptoms and incorporate different postures and breathing for possible symptom relief.

Private yoga classes (all levels):

With a private yoga class, beginners as well as advanced students alike, can get one on one training in yoga. A private class may be just what you need to get you started or if you are an advanced practitioner a way to deepen your practice. We will work together side by side, to first discuss your needs and then create a practice designed just for you, including many different poses and breathing techniques allowing your practice to grow. A private yoga class is a great gift for someone else or yourself. Please contact us to discuss setting up an appointment.

MS Yoga Classes (all levels)

Our MS yoga classes are specifically designed to help alleviate MS symptoms. In our classes we discuss what our symptoms may be and then proceed to practice breathing techniques and poses directed at those specific symptoms. The classes are 1 ˝ hours long and they include symptom discussion, pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (poses) and a guided healing deep relaxation. We have had great success with our sequences. Please contact us to arrange an MS class near you.

Teacher Training

Our You Can Do It Yoga For MS™ Teacher Training is a program designed to help yoga instructors with their 200 hours understand Multiple Sclerosis and allow them to be able to provide a service to the ever growing community of MS'ers, confidently and with as much knowledge as possible. The program is designed to help people in different stages of the disease to help alleviate symptoms with different postures, breathing techniques, and meditation.

We have spent hundreds of hours investigating, studying, and practicing postures that might be beneficial to students.

In our 10 hour workshop (2 days) you will receive:

• A Teacher Training Manual designed for the instructor in a way that is most comprehensive, broken down into symptom related chapters, and explaining several different modifications of each pose based on the students abilities.

• A copy of each of the You Can Do It Yoga DVD's.

Group Coaching

Group Coaching is a way for positive, forward moving and thinking MS'ers to get together and support each other. Together we will work through our difficult and not so difficult situations. We can provide a safe and supportive environment for each of us to speak freely and allow ourselves to grow and expand into whatever it is that our hearts desire. The best part is that anyone from anywhere can join because we connect via telephone. No need to worry about how to get someplace, just dial us up. Our groups range from 5-8 people and if you have a group that would like to begin coaching we can put that together for you. Each person gets time to talk at each meeting and we all, together provide that reassuring support to get past whatever hurdle lies before us. Groups sessions last one hour. They are facilitated by Larissa. Please contact us for more info.
