Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 I've been chatting with , the girl that is filming the documentary on RA (Priority Seating Project that Joan posted) She is doing a documentary on rheumatic diseases to help educate others about RA. She told me about a special yoga workshop that is being developed specifically for people with autoimmune disorders. Her friend is teaching the class, and she will be helping out a bit. The class will be super gentle and will give people breathing techniques, and exercises to improve tone and circulation, as well as to relieve tension in the muscles and joints. It will be held on Sunday, August 10th from 3 to 6 pm at OM Yoga on West 14th Street in NYC (near the Path for NJ residents). I think this could be a great thing -- and if enough people show up they may be able to convince the yoga center to offer these kind of classes more regularly. The workshop costs $35, and pre-registration in required by calling 212.229.0267. However, she explained to the yoga center that people with autoimmune diseases generally can't plan anything in advance, so the yoga center agreed to offer a full refund to anyone who can't make it due to flares, etc. If anyone is close enough and can attend, please let us know about it. http://www.omyoga.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
