Using Living Yoga in Hospital’s Cardiac Care Program

At the end of April 2008, I took Dr. Mala Cunningham’s Cardiac Yoga® course in Charlottesville. That Saturday, a group of us drove down to Yogaville.
I took the course so that I would be better able to put together a pilot study we’re planning to do at the hospital here in Greenville, North Carolina. I’m working with the hospital’s Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehab Center to put the program together. It will consist of 10 sessions each 90 minutes long and will focus on rehab patients who have completed their rehab sessions. Initially we want to see if certain functions continue to improve, to see if the participants will participate and do their assignments regularly, and for us to get practice in running these classes. At this point I’m primarily interested in using LIVING YOGA’s “Healing With Yoga” section of the DVD in our first meeting and then using Richard Cripe’s account of his experiences in dealing with heart disease in the second session. I think that these two sections are very powerful.
Thank you so much for allowing us to use the DVD for this purpose.
