YOGA NIDRA
Taoist Yoga weds the insights gained by thousands of years of acupuncture to the ancient wisdom of Yoga. - Paul Grilley
Yin yoga works by strengthening and stretching connective tissue - fascia, bones, joints to stop tissues from atrophy and deterioration, helping to regain mobility and ease body pain. Yin yoga, like the fountain of youth, keeps fascia hydrated, pliable and supple, thereby restoring the body to its youthfulness. It encourages mindfulness and meditation to help deepen spirituality.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Some definitions of Yoga Therapy:
Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups.
- International Association of Yoga Therapists: 2020
When the ancient science of yoga and modern science meet. - L. Darlison, Yoga Therapist
Yoga therapy is the adaptation of yoga practices for people with health challenges. Yoga therapists prescribe specific regimens of postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to suit individual needs. Medical research shows that Yoga therapy is among the most effective complementary therapies for several common aliments. The challenges may be an illness, a temporary condition like pregnancy or childbirth, or a chronic condition associated with old age or infirmity.

What Yoga Teachers Say
Last spring, Lenora offered a 2-week Yin Yoga workshop which I gladly joined. I was amazed what a great teacher she is. Not only does she have a profound and state of the art knowledge of yoga anatomy and fascia, but also, she was able to convey the material in stimulating ways so the students could take it in easily. (…). I personally learned a lot during her course and felt comfortable afterwards to go on and teach myself. What I liked most about Lenora is that she truly lives a yogic life style and therefore comes across very authentic! - Katrin S, Germany
I get the chance to follow a yin yoga workshop with Lenora begining of February 2018 and that was really interesting. Not only we learnt a lot about the fundamentals about this deep and intense yoga approach but she gave us a large sources of informations + medical and technical resources to refer to and that gave us a real motivation to practice and know more (about meridians, fascia, connective tissue, etc..). I was almost planning to cancel this workshop due to a very severe twisted knee (with high grade ACL injury with near complete tear )..but after 2 weeks of yin yoga practice with Lenora, I get rid of my crutches and knee strip support! I walk normally and feel like I do not need to go for a surgery anymore! - Christine V, France
“Thank you, Lenora for the training. I arrived on the first day with a difficult time with anger, frustration, and sadness to manage. At the end of the first week of practice, I already felt a really positive change and to finally feel totally at peace in a few days! It is always very impressive to discover all the resources we have in ourselves (…)” – Helene M, France
The 50 hour Yin Yoga course held by Lenora, was a fascinating journey for me 
I learnt so much about how to teach Yin Yoga, as well as the anatomy and theory behind the practice. Lenora is a warm and competent teacher, who loves to teach. Her passion for Yin Yoga is palpable. Thank you Lenora for a great experience.

About
Although I have been practicing yoga and meditation since my teenage years, it is only in the last several years that I have come to realize yoga's transforming ability. After many years of being a very stressed school teacher and a diabetic of 16 years, the pressures of a demanding job and the detrimental effects of heavy medication, including insulin, were taking their toll on my physical and emotional health. I was in urgent need to reset my physical, emotional and spiritual balance. In the process of finding this balance through yoga therapy and lifestyle changes, I am now able to control my sugar levels with no medication. I am pain free, I am happier, I am more peaceful than I have ever been.
Naturally, when I discovered something so spectacularly awe-inspiring; that I could heal myself physically and emotionally so easily and so simply, I want to share it with as many people as possible.
