Participant Testimonials from Teachers trained in our Special Populations program.
We developed this certification to enable more Teachers to work with those afflicted with
Parkinson’s.
Today a shift happened with regards to Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations.
A couple months ago, while I was leading a Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations class in memory care, an experienced
caregiver who was filling in from another facility was observing the class. After the class was over she said to me:
“In all my years of care giving, I have never seen anything like this.”
She was blown away! She said amongst many things, not only is it great for the residents but also for the caregivers. It gives the
caregivers a much needed break as it keeps the residents busy, focused and happy for a long time. It also makes the residents stronger
(legs) which helps the caregivers with transferring and showering.
With so much gratitude...
-Elizabeth McManus, Portland, OR
I wanted you to know that I took a risk yesterday with my senior yoga class at the YMCA. I taught my first Let Your Yoga Dance
for Special Populations class. My students were so amazing, and amazed. They were joyful, fluid in their movements, and frisky.
One couple had celebrated 59 years of marriage the day before, and I think they may have had another honeymoon that afternoon,
based on what I saw and heard. I love the work you have created for us. It is a truly healing modality, and I am so honored to help
spread this joy!
- Nora M Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations teacher
The amount of heart and love that you put into this training, this amazing time together, created something unique in time. The
experience you created, organized, and facilitated was transformative for your participants' lives. I am a more myself than I have ever
been. I recently went to the Mark Morris Dance Group Dance for Parkinson’s training in Brooklyn. That is great stuff, but I feel
limited within their parameters, while the Let Your Yoga Dance for Parkinson’s is so open, yogic, creative, and breath-filled!
-Suzanne S, dancer, Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations teacher
Thank you for this beautiful training! As you suggested, I taught the sun and moon salutations, preceded by seated warm-ups, to my
yoga class for people with MS these last two sessions. Here's some of feedback I received:
"I was nervous about this but I've changed my mind; I thought it was great."
"I never thought I could get so much out of a dancing yoga chair class. But moving yoga in a chair was perfect. I feel so much
better."
- Nora G, Psychotherapist, yoga and yoga dance teacher
What was truly phenomenal in this training was the care and attention to every detail, logistically, then body-wise, as well as focus
on soul, love, and generosity of spirit, learning, and resources. Your Let Your Yoga Dance Teacher’s Association is a tremendous
resource for us all! This training was “love in motion.”
