Registration is Open for Online Course beginning Oct. 23rd!




Yoga Empowered Online for Chronic Conditions:
Level 1: Develop Your Personal Yoga Practice Series
6 week e-Course begins Oct 23rd!

Many people have told me that they want to begin practicing at home or outside the studio but don't know where to begin. Even those that do practice at home may find challenge with continued practice and with challenging themselves to continue to grow in Practice. 

If you want to take your Yoga Practice out of the studio and into your daily life this course is for you! If you live with Chronic Conditions that present unique challenge in your life, want to do something to help yourself and are ready to begin a life-long commitment to nourishing your own well-being read on! 
             
This  6 week online (e-course) Series will introduce you to several Yoga  Practices that you can begin to add to your life – meeting yourself  where you are right in the comfort of your own home. I want you to find  what resonates with you at your leisure. Perhaps you'll write the  equivalent of four novels from the journal prompts or never pick up a  pen. Perhaps you'll really enjoy the meditations but not get around to  the movement.

I want you to think of these personal weekly lessons as creative toolboxes of calm. Want to feel more calm? Grab one of these tools. Does your neck ache? There's a tool for that too. Does your heart hurt? Yeppers. 

If you want to seize creative control over Your Personal Yoga Practice then sign up now and let's get to it! 

October 23rd e-Course is FULL!  
Next e-Course will be January 8th.

What students of this e-Course are saying: 

"I found this course to be extremely helpful.  Suzanne's "just right"  method of teaching made it easy for me to incorporate yoga into my day.   I find myself noticing, acknowledging and returning to my  breath...SEVERAL times a day! Thank you, Suz!"
Mary Lou H.

"Thank you for providing this online course that not only looks at yogic  movements, but breath, intention, and self study. I felt comfortable  participating in this course even though I have limited range of  movement and pain. When I asked questions, you responded quickly through  email. I now feel that I have some new tools to explore that will help  me feel more comfortable in my body."
A.M.
                             
"It is so easy to print everything and I still have no problems  navigating the videos and actual lesson. Who knew that I could do this!   I am so excited.  I read the lesson, and watch the video, then I print  the lesson.  Tonight I am going to read it in bed and do the asana  practice.  As you know I really enjoy reading in bed so this is perfect  for me.  Plus I get to keep all of these printed lessons and refer to  them whenever I want. I am totally loving this course and thank you so much for doing it and offering it."
