ChayaYoga - Adaptive Yoga for MS

These programs are designed with the needs of those with MS in mind, though it is also useful for their caregivers, as well as providing training for yoga teachers and other health professionals.

Chaya’s programs are a balance of “doing” and “being.” There is appropriate action and sharing of technical knowledge, deep relaxation and honoring the qualities of consciousness, transformation and presence that provide the necessary integration of the body, mind and spirit to feel rejuvenated and inspired. With divine mastery and the flow of grace, students may cultivate a deep sense of peace and ease of well being.

CECs are available for nurses and physical therapists and CEUs are available for yoga teachers.
