Barnes) and more  Spinal and joint mobilization (Stanley Paris, Maitland, Mulligan)   She graduated from Bradley University with my physical therapy degree in 1997 and completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2001 at the Temple of Kriya Yoga.

I believe that everybody has a story. If we slow down and listen, we can help people move with more freedom and ease.
