Frequently we hear about the healing and restorative powers of yoga. Any increasingly Western medical research demonstrates the benefits yoga offers cancer survivors. Are you curious how yoga can speed your recovery and increase your energy? Participants are all ages and stages of survivorship. Keeping our immune systems strong is the goal, but along the way we get flexible, feel better about our bodies and have some laughs together doing yoga.

Susan Herman Ph.D, ABPP is a Psychologist and a Yoga Teacher. As a psychologist in private practice she works with depression, anxiety, and trauma survivors. She has been practicing yoga for 15 years and teaching for 5 years. She has been trained by many different teachers in different traditions; White Lotus, Yoga Synthesis, Om Yoga, Anusara, Restorative, Yoga for Cancer Survivors, and Prenatal Yoga.

Starseed's Mission, as envisioned and articulated by JyotiMa, continues:

Starseed is an educational center for yoga and wellness dedicated to providing a space of unconditional love, support and acceptance in which people may explore pathways to fulfillment of their highest potential as human beings.

Starseed offers a diverse selection of skillfully crafted techniques of ancient and modern transpersonal therapy for the body, mind and spirit, designed to facilitate self-expression, self-knowledge and self-empowerment.

Starseed seeks to awaken within individuals their latent ability to heal themselves so that they may lead more productive lives in balance and harmony as conscious caretakers of the planet.
