Melanie Gordon
Melanie Gordon was drawn to yoga to help relieve back pain and spinal problems. After treating with a chiropractor for some time, I joked that he was too expensive of a cure and he suggested yoga! Because of the almost immediately noticeable results of yoga, I wanted to share this wonderful treatment with others. My back pain is gone because of improved posture and I’m stronger; but more importantly, my improved mental focus, clarity and serenity have been invaluable when dealing with the stresses of everyday life and work.
