Yoga in Jupiter, Florida - "Healing Yoga Basics"

Case Studies

 On this page you will find case studies from just four of the hundreds of students I've worked with since 1996.

Case Study #1

40 year old female, massage therapist, former athlete.

Problem:  Extremely overweight, pain in wrists, hands and sacral iliac joint from work.  She was looking for relief from her physical pain, she was also in an unhappy 2^nd marriage and looking for the door.

Solution: She was very dedicated. We began with private instruction twice weekly. At first she could not put much weight on her right leg in lunges because of extreme SI joint pain, so just working breath and energy below the waist was challenging.  She took group classes as well so she was in class or private instruction 2 - 3 times weekly for 6 months. For her weight and emotional challenges (marriage) she went thru the LiteBodies 28 day transformational process.

Results: After 3 months the SI, Hand and Wrist pain were gone. She slimmed down and began to practice on her own from the audio CD’s.  Her strength endurance and flexibility increased and she became very proficient in postures and breathing.  After 11 months she attended and completed Ana Forrests' FoundationTeacher Training.

Case Study #2

47 year old woman, extremely active, mother of 4.

Problem: She had knee pain from years of sports, roller skating, and doing yoga. She thought pain was just something she had to live with.

Solution:  She enrolled in my 6 class intermediate series.  Enlightened women CD’s and Processes to work thru sadness and spiritual issues.

Results: After 4 classes she called me and asked “My knees don’t hurt anymore, Is this from the yoga?” She continues to be pain free and practices yoga regularly with my Audio CD's.

Case Study #3

Male 67, former student in 2001 - 2002.  After I moved from Aspen to Florida he continued his yoga at a well known Aspen Studio.  After 2 weeks he found himself in Physical therapy at Aspen Valley Hospital.

Problem:  He was carrying a lot of pain in his shoulder and hip.

Solution: He enrolled (again) in the  "Healing Yoga Basics" course.  No special exercises, just personal attention to make sure he was moving properly.

Results: After 4 classes the pain was gone.  My challenge is to “Bottle his enthusiasm for my classes”.  He’s my new yoga mascot.

Case Study #4
