Since then, I  have been working to integrate my yoga training with my background in physical therapy. I feel mainstream physical therapy can miss the boat if you don’t step back to consider the entire person and how everything interrelates. Yoga provides a framework to do that. I was happy to have the opportunity to bring yoga to the NorthShore University HealthSystem through orthopedic and prenatal yoga, and am excited to continue to bring yoga to the north shore. I believe that everybody has a story. If we slow down and listen, we can help people move with more freedom and ease.

Your whole self is returned to balance, including physical symptoms of discomfort or pain as well as your emotional health.  Initially, it may require several weekly visits to address your primary concern, but then many people opt to come in for regular monthly visits or once every couple of months, for "tune-ups" because it helps them maintain their good pattern of health.  When you come in for a visit, you should expect to go over your comprehensive health history. There will be an evaluation and treatment plan discussed. Includes acupuncture, nutritional guidance, and herbal recommendations. Adjunctive therapies, such as electric stimulation, cupping, gua sha or moxibustion may be used, if your condition requires

NU has a professor that is instrumental in the plastics development field.  You have no idea how important this is until you speak with someone with the knowledge like Professor Notestein.  Catalysis science, energy, materials, and nanoscience  Catalytic materials are central to most industrial processes. We develop novel designs and syntheses of catalysts, adsorbents, and other functional materials, especially for the purpose of more sustainable routes to important chemicals and fuels. We frequently collaborate with industry and national laboratories on such projects. We typically synthesize materials by modifying existing particle or MOF surfaces with organic functionalities (e.g. amines or carboxylates), inorganic complexes (e.g. Mn triazacyclononane, Ta calixarenes) or we build up additional ultra-thin oxide layers. These groups are intended to control isolated or cooperative active sites consisting of acids, bases, redox groups, metals, and designed cavities in ways that can be difficult to engineer with traditional homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. The active sites on these new materials are also functional models for spectroscopy and simulation for the development of improved structure-function relationships. It is our guiding hypothesis that increasing control over - and diversity of - the active sites available for heterogeneous catalysts promises to yield new, more selective, and better-understood chemical transformations.

( Dear Evanston)  Bennett J. Johnson, 89, is a walking encyclopedia of the Chicago (and national) civil rights movement, and the sports, music and literary scenes of his earlier days. Talking to him is like listening to a multi-chapter audio book about race, anger, activism, family, and history, with a twist of dry humor--read by the author.  Bennett is the middle child and only son of Kathryn Burnice Hill Johnson Casimere Samples and Bennett Jones Johnson. In 1931, recently separated, his mother brought two-year-old Bennett and his two sisters from Chicago to Evanston, where they lived with Bennett’s great-aunt and five boy cousins in Evanston’s Black fifth ward.  From Kindergarten to second grade, Bennett and his siblings attended Foster School, the city’s only Black school. The building, at 2010 Dewey Ave., is now home to Family Focus Evanston and a variety of nonprofit organizations.  When Bennett was seven, his parents reconciled. His father got a job working on the property of a wealthy businessman named George Bridges. The family moved from Dodge Street to the coach house of the Bridges’ mansion, which was located east of Sheridan Road on Milburn Street, right on the lake, and the Johnson children had to start a new school.  https://www.dearevanston.org/post/2020/01/29/an-evanstonian-you-should-know-bennett-johnson  Civil rights activist Bennett Johnson reflects on the life of service https://dailynorthwestern.com/2016/02/18/city/civil-rights-activist-bennett-johnson-reflects-on-life-of-service/
