    I am a Certified Gentle Yoga Instructor and our training was for chronic disease management of any kind. I was trained back in 2006 or 2007 but I just started a class back at our church and it has really helped me not only others. Being a diabetic I need all I can get. I learned so many new moves on this class. Take care !!❤❤

    I suffer from arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, and no cartilage in my left hip. I'm waiting for a hip replacement in April, and in the meantime, I've been looking for something besides muscle relaxers to help with some of this pain. This is definitely a HUGE help!!! It helped the tension in my whole body finally relax! I feel like a new person, and have someone in my corner until the surgery now! Thank you so much!❤❤

    I have had four cancers in a year and a half and went through over a year of chemo. Although I'm back to doing what I could do before it all began, this particular practice feels so good to me and I'm very grateful for it.

    I have a broken foot. I can only do chair work outs. This was the most relaxing and de-stressing exercise I have found. My balance is off, and everything aches from the air boot I have to wear. My whole being seems to improve after these lovely movements. thank you for a beautifully soothing video. :)
