Healing Partners News

Healing Partners is committed to projects that are rooted in joyful service. Here are some examples of our recent activities:

Michael recently completed a 2 day teacher training given by Karen O'Donnell Clarke on teaching yoga to MS patients. Karen is a gifted teacher, and the workshop was a great experience for all involved. Over the coming months we plan to offer Yoga for MS classes in the Putnam, CT area. Please contact us with any questions, or if you or a loved one is interested in attending, as we are in the planning stages for this right now.
Denise will soon travel to California to pursue further training with friend and teacher, Denise Linn. Denise will experience Soul Coaching training which is a program aimed to align one's inner spiritual life with one's outer life. Soul Coaches assist others to spiritually cleanse, renew and transform their lives.
From January through May, we ran an in-house yoga program for the employees of Manchester Memorial and Rockville General Hospitals
In June, Denise and a fellow colleague at ECHN helped to implement a new volunteer program to assist patients in staying relaxed and calm while in the hospital. The volunteers are enthusiastic and compassionate, and the program is sure to be a great success.

We continue to see private students for Hatha Yoga and Satyara
.
We're completing our first book titled "Ready, Set, Yoga!". This book focuses on making some of the more esoteric teachings of yoga more accessible and understandable to the contemporary yoga student.
.
Denise is completing a book titled "Sharing Yoga with Children". We're very excited about this project, and we think this will be a great resource for teachers who wish to deepen their children's curriculum.
.
Michael's development of Satyara continues. Our training is currently focused on refining the many techniques that we have developed over the last couple of years.

Interested in Satyara training? We'll have much more information and videos available soon on how you can experience this amazing art!

Do you find yourself wanting to practice yoga at home but don't know where to begin or how to sustain a fulfilling home practice? Coming later this year we will be introducing a series of instructional DVD's titled "Yoga, Step By Step". This program is designed to give students at all levels the opportunity to have the experience of working with a teacher in a private setting. Starting at the beginner level, "Yoga, Step By Step" gives the student comprehensive instruction in all of the most popular yoga postures, as well as providing easy to follow practice routines. This is the most comprehensive and easy to use system available for learning yoga at home. Stay tuned for details!
