the body remembers long after"
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Marilee
"Over the last two and a half years, I have been privileged to benefit from Tanjariitta's instruction, help and support, both in her yoga classes and in private yoga therapy sessions. Her work is geared to helping people at whatever level is appropriate for the client. I have learned so much about my body and how to help myself through working with Tanjariitta. This work continues to be a priority for me."
"I am a very type A personality, with a background in private military contract work. I came to see Tanjariitta because I heard her speak about trauma and its impact on our brain and body. I have chronic pain and I take blood pressure medications. Since doing sessions and practicing Yoga Nidra with Tanjariitta, my sleep quality has improved noticeably. My blood pressure has also improved to the point where my doctor agrees that I can come down on my medication dose."
Sandra, 67 year old wheel-chair bound client
"I have loved this work. I have had two major back surgeries and physical therapy has been too much for my body. I am going to use these techniques before my upcoming surgery."
Kelly
"The Gentle Movement class has been one of the two keys that got me living a fuller, richer, happier life. Her yoga and gentle movement exercises come from a vast array of studies and personal experience with chronic pain herself. The class has changed my life, thank you!"
