He created
a ‘Yoga for Grief Relief’ program to induce self knowledge and personal transformation by addressing and working
on the physical and emotional symptoms of grief. He also developed a ‘Yoga for Cancer’ program
based on the premise ‘Spirit can’t have Cancer’ and leads groups receiving individuals from the Oncology
Departments at Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Marin Cancer Institute and UCSF. He is presently bringing his program to
Bennett Cancer Center and The Health and Fitness Institute
of Stamford Hospital in Connecticut. The program draws elements from Yoga and
Psychotherapy to integrate techniques, thoughtful insights and, why not, humor, in a very dynamic class intended to provide practitioners
with tools to better understand and cope with life with cancer. It is designed to accept all types of Cancer and all
levels of experience and rather than presenting random series, the class features the use of specific series and techniques
to accomplish particular goals. The program also emphasizes the relationship between the physical techniques and their
mental and spiritual correlates to empower those with cancer towards personal realization.
