Acupuncture Spotlight

2011-03-18T08:44:00.001-04:00

There have been literally thousands of studies done on acupuncture. One study from Thailand (Kumnerddee & Kaewtong, 2010) had 61 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome randomly assigned to either acupuncture or night-splinting groups. The acupuncture group received treatment twice a week for five weeks (10 sessions in total). The night-splint group received neutral wrist splint during the night for five weeks.

Although both groups improved equally with respect to function, pain reports decreased significantly more in the Acupuncture group. Consider 10 sessions of acupuncture as an adjunct to managing persistent carpal tunnel syndrome, certainly before surgery is considered.

YNC Registered Yoga Teacher Training

2009-09-07T13:32:00.003-04:00

“I believe the length of the two-year program allowed me to live and reflect on each module before moving on to the next. I had the time to grow and change my lifestyle along with the program. Of course, the teacher makes the difference. I had a teacher who is passionate about life and yoga and delivered the program with heart.” JC

“The YTT Program is a fantastic journey into the yoga world. I have learned so much about myself as well as the practice. Heather is an interesting person as well as a very knowledgeable instructor with a lot of patience. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of yoga.” MS

“I thoroughly enjoyed YTT Program. The 200-hour program ran over a two year period, with one Friday night and one full day Saturday program each month. This made the work load manageable and allowed lots of time for reflection and for integrating what I had learned into my yoga practice and my everyday life. Heather's extensive educational background, knowledge of alternative therapies, and athleticism were also very inspirational. The 'Yoga and Creativity' segment, a full Saturday in the second year of the course, was a profound experience, helping me tap into almost-forgotten sources of inspiration from my childhood." MT

“The YTT Program has provided me with a safe and comfortable learning environment that has allowed me to grow and explore myself. It is completely different from any other programs I have taken, as it is more open and it is whatever you need it to be or make it be. There is a reasonable amount of work that keeps us on tract throughout the two years and guides us through our educational experience in an organized manner. The instructor and classmates have been an added bonus as they have assisted me throughout this experience in so many ways.” TC

“This program offers a well-rounded perspective on the physical, spiritual and history of yoga. As a 2year program, I found that the time between each class provided an opportunity to gain personal perspective, strong study on the course material of each facet, and encouraged patience in the study of yoga. The teacher is very knowledgeable and allowed the students to have their own ideas and yoga styles while providing the facts and physical precautions of teaching yoga. Throughout the past few years of teaching yoga myself, I have found that the open-minded approach has been integrated into my classes and has provided myself with an open perspective for each individual’s physical and spiritual journey, while still maintaining the fundamental aspects of yoga: connecting mind, body and spirit. I have and continue to recommend this course to inspiring yoga teachers and practitioners who wish to gain more yoga knowledge.” KS

“The course provided a thorough and comprehensive foundation - both experiential and knowledge-based, for yoga teaching that would allow a graduate of the two-year program to set out on the path with a very solid grounding in all aspects of yoga philosophy. The range of areas covered was from esoteric to anatomical safety to business management. I feel that I have received a valuable education offered by a highly dedicated teacher, Heather Stanley, of the Yoga Teacher Training program.” GS

“When I signed up for the YTT program at Georgian College, I was expecting to learn how to 'do' yoga. What I got out of it was so much more. Besides learning the physical postures (asanas) of yoga, I learned how yoga is a way of living physically, mentally and spiritually. The YTT program has impacted my life tremendously. It has led me to a career as a Yoga Teacher and Studio Owner, but so much more it has enhanced my joy of life. Through many of the assignments, I became better acquainted with my true self and what is truly important in my life. I also made some beautiful friendships over the two years which, I am sure, will last a life time. The instructor was experienced and authentic. She brought a great balance of theoretical Western knowledge of anatomy, physiology and nutrition to the Eastern knowledge of the ancient practice of yoga. Her creativity and gift of Art also gave us an invaluable experience and insight into our inner selves, by including a creative art day in the curriculum.” AP

“What can I say about Heather Stanley and her Yoga Teacher Training Program? Gosh, so much good stuff! Firstly, the universe was in direct connection with my intentions by opening the door to Heather. Her approach to the practice of Yoga, and I’m not talking solely about postures here, was exactly what my soul needed reminding of. Yoga is a lifestyle, not a work-out, if you choose that. Yoga is as deep as the ocean, and as flexible as water. Yoga is as peaceful as flight, and as challenging as life. For me, this was how Heather guided my learning, my practice and my spirit. Not only did I learn the obvious, the postures, the philosophy, the anatomical and physiological body, but I learned more about myself inside the practice. Now, whenever I teach and practice, Heather’s “way” that synchronizes with my “way” is always present. I am blessed to have found her, and I credit her, and myself, for having created such a strong foundation in my practice and my classes. Love Ya Heather!” PM

"The Yoga Teaching Training program was challenging for me BUT it has opened me up in ways I never thought could be. I have become aware of my inner strength and my spirit now wants to deny the choice of living in fear, or to judge, and to rise above harbouring resentment. This program helped me find freedom and liberation, and the power to raise above all self doubts. Through teaching yoga, this is what I want to share. I learned where I shine. I learned to be me. Teaching yoga is incredibly powerful; it gave me the ability to shift how I look at people and how I look at myself". KB

“I just want to thank you on behalf of myself and my students for teaching me so well about safety while doing yoga, and everything else. In a couple of years, you may have some more Bradford applicants, as a result. You're a great trainer.” JK
