Jessica, age 25, suffered from
Endometriosis.
Program: 8 sessions of Yoga Therapy, twice a month for 4 months in 2007
Testimony: About 2 ½ years ago I started experiencing chronic
pelvic pain. I went through several months of pain before I decided to seek
help. I went through months of testing and surgery. My doctor told me that
I suffered from Endometriosis. He put me on medication and through a pain
management program. That was no help, the pain was still there. I had attended
several yoga classes that were taught by Jennifer. That is when I learned
that she could help me with an alternative therapy, that didn't require me
to take medication or a nerve block. When I had my first session I experienced
an amazing release. The poses were great and Jennifer was very supportive
throughout the whole process. I felt comfortable, safe, and secure. During
our sessions we went through one Chakra at a time trying to release issues
in these areas of my body. At the end of it I felt like a brand new person.
All my pain was gone. I felt through yoga therapy and Jennifer's support I
healed myself. It is a wonderful experience and I recommend it to anyone who
is looking for an alternative therapy.

Terry, age 70's, suffered weakness and balance problems.
Program: Therapeutic yoga sessions with Chair. Current sessions with standing and floor work
Testimony: My wife Terry had been falling (or near falling)
for the last year. Her legs would get wobbly and or weak. Normally, she would
have to grab someone or sit down either on a chair or on the floor. Secondly,
she would lose her balance from a slight trip or stumble. The doctors have
been making some progress improving the wobbly legs problem by changing her
medications. Her daughter Donna, a pediatrician in St Louis felt that Terry
should have some therapy to help her balance. She found Jennifer on the internet
and then talked to her about Terry's problem of balance. Our Daughter felt
Jennifer, with her back ground of Yoga Therapy, could help Terry regain her
balance. Jennifer has been teaching Yoga to Terry for five months to strengthen
her and to improve her balance. The results are now that Terry is not afraid
to go out of the house, stands up straight and is enjoying a stronger and
better life. Terry is working toward being more confident to join a group
class and continue with what Jennifer has been teaching her. Her falling episodes
have decreased to barely any episodes and her strength and flexibility have
increased immensely. Her practices went from simple chair postures, to a program
of chair, standing and floor poses, and practicing along with a Chair Yoga
DVD Jennifer recommended. Jennifer currently sees Terry about twice a month
for an hour.
Yoga
Therapy
Wellness comes from the inside out, not the outside in. In Yoga Therapy, you
are assisted in working out chronic tension on a physical level. Whether your
pain stems from a major trauma or from the less recognized trauma of high
stress or self neglect, yoga therapy offers a safe and natural path to well
being. You do not have to have any yoga background, or exercise regimen to
experience yoga therapy. In Yoga Therapy, we tap into the resources deep within
to heal ourselves. [Read Testimonies]
Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic yoga is done in a supportive environment for those who need special
care and attention getting into and out of poses. Each pose is there to help
stretch the body and awaken our physical systems, work our soft tissues and
ligaments, lubricate our joints, de-stress our minds and aid our overall well
being. Most students come with some kind of an ailment that they wish to heal
or soften.
