- HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT)

Approaching the teaching of exercise physiologically, though, truly narrows the list.

If you read my "WHO AM I" section then you know that I am a Yoga teacher in the Zen style of Hatha Yoga.I began to practice and study Yoga after my non-surgical recovery from my second herniated disc. Physical therapy and its exercise program made it possible to avoid a back operation, and, almost all of the exercises were Yoga exercises. After I had taken my first Yoga class I was 'hooked", and have continued for 22 years, becoming a teacher 20 years ago.But Yoga has many more benefits than just spinal / skeletal. Read about some of these researh-proven benefits here:
