Re: March is DD Awareness Month

[Guest guest]

I wanted to share with the group a terrific YOGA Studio in Westmont (Cass

Ave at Richmond).

Ms. Debra practices and teaches Iyengard method yoga. She offers

various level sessions, ideal for everyone at any age or level of physical

fitness. I started out in her " restorative " session after surgery to regain

mobility, flexibility, and lose a little weight. My autistic son , 17

has been going to the Teen session on Mondays at 3:00-4:00. Her technique

includes pranayama (breathing), various yoga poses and use of props such as

sand bag weights and blankets, etc. Debra's sequence of movements,

breathing and poses has been phenomenal in helping my son with his

perseveration, sleeping, calming and coping skills. He is also benefitting

from the additional side effect of better eating, fitness and posture. It is

something that he will continue to practice for the rest of his life. I

encourage others (Autistic or otherwise) to call Debra at her studio;

now gets solo attention; However, he would benefit even more if others where

in the class.
