Dr. Lisa Clow, Ph.D., National Board Certified Health Coach, National Board Certified Physical Education Teacher, RYT200 published her research on yoga as a women's population health intervention but when even her mother said, "I can't do yoga", she decided to find a solution. While discussing her ideas with a yoga expert, she learned that Ancient yoga as very little to do with asanas or the poses that modern yoga has embraced. While movement is important to our well-being, it's not the magical factor in how yoga "works". Join Dr. Clow on a journey of exploring how "I Can't Do Yoga" can help you to heal and feel great. |
