PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 14, 2012

Much is made of the various approaches natural therapies take to healing Multiple Sclerosis. But one has to sit up and take notice when a top neurologist confirmed that Sara V’s regular hot yoga practice and new career as a yoga teacher was having a more powerful effect than her medication. Sara, an ex-IT Manager, has made some big changes to her lifestyle in the last 18 months by taking up hot yoga and becoming certified as a hot yoga instructor. It was at the Hot Yoga Doctor Pro Teacher Training in May 2011 that she reached a major tipping point.

“I came to realize that MS was taking a piece of me away – and by learning more about the impact of yoga, diet and the power of the mind I was able to get that piece back. It was one personal session with Gabrielle that uncovered a limiting belief and helped turn my approach around. I learned how to process my emotions as well as finding a huge support system in the other teachers, it really felt fantastic to be able make those changes!” – recalls Sara.

The Hot Yoga Doctor, Gabrielle Raiz explains: “Our students undergo a personal audit of their mental and emotional approach to their lives. We teach our trainee instructors to build a real mind and body connection, rather than just going through an exercise routine. I’d also emphasize that this is done without yoga dogma or any subscription to esoteric yoga spirituality – I completely respect every individual’s spiritual beliefs and make sure what we learn about all aspects of yoga, connects with everyone’s personal journey.”

The Hot Yoga Doctor Pro Teacher Training and all of Gabrielle’s workshops including private lessons, one-on-ones, Skype sessions and trainings, combine modern scientific approaches to the mind and body with the ancient practice of precision Asanas. It is designed to provide complete immersion in a transformation of lifestyle and in being a leader in the field of hot yoga. Participants have travelled from across the world to attend past programs held over 4 weeks in specialized well-being resort in Costa Rica. These days Gabrielle holds tailor-made trainings on request.

Sara claims: “I have been absolutely loving teaching! How amazing to have a job that I actually leave feeling better than when I came in! I mentioned to my neurologist how much the yoga has helped and he pointed out sometimes it’s overlooked just how much can be done through diet and exercise – they are often more powerful than the medications.” “I personally chose Gabrielle’s program because I wanted an emphasis on medical information and anatomy, those things are really important for me as someone living with a disease … and I got exactly what I was looking for!”
