My intention is to communicate yoga practice and philosophy
to people of all ages and abilities, and to attract professionals
who share an interest in the realm of yoga as a healing art.

Background Information on Therapeutic yoga in Medical School Programming
Terrific News: GWU-Medical School offers Therapeutic YOGA as an ELECTIVE
As of September 2011, Introduction to Therapeutic Yoga has elective status; 55 students officially registered for our first semester offering.
Brain-child of Drs Regan Gage and Rohini Batu, the Medical Student Community Wellness Program offered therapeutic yoga as an extra-curricular activity throughout 2010-2011. Originally designed to take yoga into clinics in under-served communities, it has blossomed into a formal course that weaves functional anatomy and physiology with self-care, stress management and professional growth.
The curriculum development and design reflect my deep appreciation of the enormous challenges faced by medical students, in particular, and all young professionals stepping into the precarious world of health care today.
In addition, Yoga for Well-Being and Stress Reduction was presented for the 1st Year Residency Fall Retreat at GWU-School of Medicine and Health Sciences...providing meditative time for mindful inquiry and playful pursuit of personal comfort and interpersonal connection through Thai Yoga Massage.
On May 15th, Linda presented a workshop at the GWU-SMHS Chief Resident's Orientation as part of their Graduate Medical Education Program, on the subjects of self-care and yoga as it applies to personal and professional development and leadership in a hospital setting.
