Grow together 

A personal journey 

Working professionals can benefit from wellness and/or communication training services.  Dr. Cruz-Boone has developed courses collaboratively with fellow educators, union organizers, mother/daughter directed groups, students, youth groups, recovery programs.  ​​Yoga is a low impact activity that can restore both the mind and body and has the capacity to refocus, recharge, and re-balance your professional team. 

Committing to attend regular yoga classes can increase support and motivation.  However, even in a community practice it is an individual journey. Yoga requires the student look inward not to compare what is outside oneself.

​The Iyengar tradition does not regard yoga as an exercise to improve flexibility but instead a self-examining process that often results in improved flexibility.

Be still and embrace what is. 

"As a practitioner of yoga a woman should understand her own problems, her weaknesses & the particular needs of her own body. Regular practice brings new awareness to her. She becomes sensitive to her body. The body speaks to her whether it wants to rest, wants to sleep. She wants to learn by herself so that the required & corrective adjustments can be made which differ from the routine practice." --Geeta S Iyengar, 2002
