 Since
I was first diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 1992, yoga
has become an increasingly important feature in my life. Now,
yoga forms the bedrock of my lifestyle, helping me to keep my
body fit, strong and mobile as my R.A. progresses and it also
helps me to stabilize my life emotionally and spiritually. I
am a full-time, dedicated Hatha yoga teacher.
