Teaching Adaptive Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis A Workshop for Yoga Teachers and Health Care Professionals   April 17 - 18, 2009   My first trip to South Dakota was a wonderful experience, thanks in large part to Nancy Larsen of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the wonderful yoga teachers who participated in this program.  I arrived a day early to take in the sights.  I even got in a lovely Yin Yoga class with Jill Johnson at the Dharma Room.   Some exciting things are happening the the North Central Chapter region (North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa) since the workshop in April.  Yoga classes, private lessons and a retreat for women! A Women's Weekend Retreat We apologize, this event is full.  Join us Friday, June 12th - Sunday, June 14th in Fargo for a weekend of relaxation and pampering - think meditation, yoga, art therapy, massage and a little shopping!
