I am a psychologist who works with children and adults with mental retardation and developmental disabilities. I have been a yoga practitioner for 4 years after being introduced to the practice by a great yoga teacher, who is also my partner and my inspiration. Yoga has given me the ability to look beyond the reach of my profession, to look outside the box, and to use the infinite power of combining mind, body, and spirit to work for myself and others.

Dear Shann,
Welcome to YB! Before becoming an instructor, I was a Resource Specialist and worked with many students with a range of abilities. I never thought to bring yoga into the class, but now, I can see that offering some simple techniques would have been welcomed. We are happy to have you here. You may want to join a YB Chapter near you and participate when an activity calls to you. Blessings, Jean
