We have already agreed on the dates for the workshop with Garth in 2025. We will open the official registration later this year, when we also put the event on the website with the complete description of the program.
For now we have created this option to pre-register for the event. This is free, and if you sign up for it you will not be obliged to book it later, but we will give you the chance to book early once we hopen registration – and it gives us a chance to know who is interested.
About Garth McLean
When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996, I was experiencing frightening MS related symptoms and mobility restrictions. Filled with trepidation about an uncertain future, I felt isolated and very much alone. Along with prescribed medication, my doctor recommended I try yoga to help get and keep my MS in remission, my body functioning and my mind calm.
Thankfully, within a few days I found Iyengar Yoga. The in-person support of the teachers, and eventually BKS and Geeta Iyengar, helped me regain my bodily function and get me back on my feet. Through their compassionate guidance, supportive and inventive use of props to quieten my symptoms, I was able to get and keep my body moving again.
Once we arrive to ourselves and own our personal truth of where we are, we can then work to align the body, the peripheral nerves with the motor nerves, in such a fashion that the body is given the opportunity to realize its potential. BKS Iyengar opened up a door to possibility and gave me the tools to take action to move beyond my limitations with courage and caution.
As a person living with MS, a certified yoga therapist and a certified senior Iyengar Yoga teacher, I have seen and worked with a wide variety of people around the globe in all stages of MS, Parkinson’s, and with other neurological or movement restrictive conditions. If you, or someone you know, is facing neurological or mobility challenges and could benefit from yoga, I invite you to join me. Together we can investigate, share and explore ways to alleviate symptoms when required, brighten the future and enhance our lives!
