Adding Light To Your Life ~ Happy Holidays From ChayaVeda

---

Chaya's manual, a collection of practice materials created for people with MS and similar conditions is a purposeful collection of practice materials that includes adaptive yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation and supportive information about yoga and Ayurveda as a holistic and complementary lifestyle for people with MS and similar conditions. It also includes my 18 page case study on the effects these practices had on her students.

This was a labor of love and dedicated to my mother, who has MS for about 50 years and also for the many students that came weekly for years, as well as my weeklong immersion. I watched you learn, grow and support each other with grace and am humbled to have served you.

May this simple study guide, that documents our humble beginnings together, be an inspiration to support the future.

~Chaya

 "For me, a non-MS person, it was meaningful and powerful to see everyone in the class responding to the Yoga and information given them. The people with MS seemed to become more at ease with themselves and even with being with others, as well as embracing their condition. Chaya was very attuned to everyone's needs and energies and kept the class flowing and moving with compassion and so much knowledge of the course material. I don't have MS, but am a Yoga Teacher who hopes to be able to help people who have it. This was an excellent training for helping me in that direction." 

Karen McIlwain, Yoga Teacher, Rolla, MO

"Being with a group of people who came together for (because of) MS or other health related reasons, to improve themselves and live the best way they can is so powerful! About Chaya- Terrific! Helpful and attentive. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience her gifts. This program has given me more tools to add to my MS arsenal. My experiences came at a perfect time." 

Nadine Shapiro, Manchester, CT

"I have learned to be more positive with myself and I know what I've experienced int his course will change my life continually for the rest of my life." 

Cheryl Ann Cummins, Des Moines, IA

"I have gained a greater understanding of myself and a greater sense of power and control over my disease. I feel it will change my life by helping me to continue to discern what a holistic lifestyle means to me." Carey Esposito, Greenfield, MA

"I am sooooo very proud to be your student and have you as a mentor."
