Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
Kripalu is one of my favorite destinations, at least twice a year, for continuing education. They offer a huge variety of classes, retreats, and healing arts programs. There is something for everyone whether you go for a day, a weekend or longer. I always have extra Kripalu catalogues at class, ask me for one the next time I see you.

Getting Unstuck
Getting Unstuck at Amazon.com
by Pema Chodron
This book is available only on disc and is very informative/ instructive. One of the wisest women of our time, Pema, an American Buddhist Nun, describes very clearly the path to breaking habitual patterns and getting to the root of our behaviors. I found this series of CDs to be very helpful in better understanding myself and it ties in well with yogic practices.

Yoga & Cancer
We’re proud to provide yoga services to those with mesothelioma cancer. Initial studies have shown Yoga to be extremely beneficial for cancer patients and loved ones who battle anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and other secondary symptoms associated with traditional cancer treatments. Aggressive cancers like mesothelioma can have harmful side effects associated with radiation and chemotherapy regimens. Yoga has been shown to demonstrate improved capacity to manage these symptoms in mesothelioma patients as well as that of other types of cancer.
