Yoga teaches us balance: balance of the body in relation to gravity; balance of the mind between action and observation; and balance of the neuroendocrine system between stress and relaxation. Through a regular yoga practice we learn which poses are effective in re-establishing balance in some aspect of our existence. In this ancient discipline as taught by B.K.S. Iyengar, there are poses that are particularly useful during the menstrual period. These poses ease menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, pelvic discomfort and the low back pain associated with menses They are also effective in smoothing out the emotional rough edges some women encounter at this time of their cycle. |

| Val Sklar discovered Bikram yoga when she was 27, after months of discomfort from degenerative arthritis in her right hip joint, caused by a broken hip at the age of 13. Her Orthopedist told her there was nothing that would improve her condition, and the best she could do was whatever exercise didn't seem to worsen her joint pain. |

| When I was in the initial stages of my recovery, I started taking yoga – somewhat reluctantly. In my fast-paced, workaholic days, I only valued fast-paced workouts – I felt like yoga would be too slow and boring. Yet I was curious about the benefits of yoga for eating disorders recovery and stress reduction. |

| Conversation is a barrier to intimacy...you can talk your way out of feeling. For individuals struggling with weight and food issues, many have learned that a diet or psychotherapist cannot solve the root these concerns—only you can look inside and discover what your soul needs to learn. |

| Why would you take a pre-natal yoga class? Pre natal yoga benefits the beginner as well as the seasoned yoga practitioner. When you're pregnant you become more flexible (due to a hormone called relaxin) and so it is perfect for the beginner. |
