For teachers and practitioners of many backgrounds: yoga, dance, physical therapists, and bodyworkers.
Thousands of people yearn to move their bodies, dance, and do yoga-the elderly, people with Parkinson’s, MS, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, breast cancer survivors overcoming surgery, and others with special needs who may feel marginalized and unable to move as freely as they would like. Let Your Yoga Dance is a fabulous workout, a delightful experience tempered for each student’s needs, providing therapeutic benefits on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

I would highly recommend this training, even if you have no current intentions of working with “special” populations. The training introduced me to a whole new aspect of dance, and awakened my creativity. I think Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations is on the leading edge of something remarkable.
