Phoenix, AZ (September, 2008)--"Maryland Gardens Care Center
is a quiet unassuming senior care center tucked away in a quiet
neighborhood. But once inside, one may notice a world of activities
engaging those who live there. And one of those activities is a
Yoga program aimed at senior citizens.
Yoga Phoenix and Maryland Gardens have teamed up to provide a higher
quality of life for the people living at Maryland Gardens. A couple
of times a month, Yoga Phoenix visits and works with people affected
by Alzheimer’s and dementia. Yoga not only provides comfort and
exercise but may decrease anxiety, increases mental clarity, calms
the mind and body, and is just plain fun!
All one needs to do to see results is to look at the face of the
people in the class. As Tina Wilshusen leads the group, the eyes
of the group are transfixed on her. Looking around, one can see
rapt attention, concentration, delight, and a sense of peace. Any
program that can elevate the quality of life for those living with
Alzheimer’s is a program worth checking out. Namaste Yoga Phoenix!"
- Jack Silbaugh, ADC
Activities Director

Phoenix, AZ (July, 2008)--Yoga for Seniors with Alzheimer’s
and Dementia Comfort Therapy. In 2007, the call came
out from Yoga Phoenix....to all Kundalini Yoga Teachers, take
your skills out into the community and serve those in need! Bring
your service the population that would not otherwise be able to
participate in learning practical yogic techniques to improve
their lives and to reduce distress from this chaotic world.
Three women, Tina, Sumr, and Lauren, already had a background
in working with the elderly as caregivers and fitness instructors,
stepped up to begin a pilot program called Yoga Phoenix for Alzheimer’s'
and Dementia Comfort Therapy. Encouraged by research being conducted
at the University of Pennsylvania on the effects of a particular
yoga meditation practice on brain functioning and memory, the
program began in a group nursing home for 8 clients who were in
the late stages of Alzheimer’s.
Although these seniors were very limited in physical movement
and mental awareness, they were none the less able to benefit
from these practical skills. Working with the caregivers the yoga
teachers were able to track the clients’ progress in areas such
as breathing, movement and sound vibration. The client’s all showed
varying levels of improvement including decreased anxiety and
increased physical movement and mental clarity. Moving forward
from this pilot, the goal for this program is to have trained
teachers to facilitate this program in 10 nursing, group or retirement
homes by the end of 2008. If you know of a person or facility
that would benefit from this program, call 602-271-4480.

Yoga Phoenix Graduates a New Class of Kundalini
Yoga Teachers This Month more...

Phoenix, AZ (July 14, 2008)--Yoga Phoenix Graduates a New
Class of Kundalini Yoga Teachers This Month. This July,
the teacher training students at Yoga Phoenix are completing a 7
month training course recognized both by the Kundalini Research
Institute (KRI) and by Yoga Alliance, two internationally recognized
yoga- related certifying boards. The new graduates are certified
as Level One Kundalini Yoga Instructors and are eligible for the
200 hour Yoga Alliance designation as registered yoga teachers (RYT).
Yoga Phoenix boasts the Phoenix area’s only Kundalini yoga teacher
training program.
As an awareness of the benefits of a strong yoga practice becomes
part of mainstream culture, classes and teacher training opportunities
for yoga practitioners are exploding both locally and nationally.
What is the advantage to choosing Kundalini Yoga over other yoga
styles? Known as the yoga of awareness, Kundalini yoga is regarded
as the mother of other types of yoga; many other yoga practices
are believed to have stemmed from this “original” yoga. Kundalini
Yoga is often billed as the most powerful yoga ever known; results
are generally much faster with Kundalini yoga than with other types
of yoga. During a recent television interview on Fox 10 News, Sevak
Singh, Yoga Phoenix’s lead teacher trainer, stated, “You can walk,
you can ride a bike. If you want to take the jet plane, you do Kundalini
yoga. It’s a very powerful yoga.”
