"Yoga exists in the world because everything is linked." -T.K.V. Desikachar
A word about yoga therapy as a healing modality. Much has been said about yoga therapy.  And many people do not know what yoga therapy is.  The International Association of Yoga Therapists defines yoga therapy as "the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of yoga".  Yoga is a holistic system, although not a panacea, when we apply the principles inherent in the yoga sutras we begin to participate in our own healing process.  Healing begins with the ability to stop, look and listen to what is happening both mentally and physically.  When the need arises to seek medical advice, western or otherwise, that should be heeded.  Acceptance is the first step in healing.   Yoga is a powerful tool, with benefits that range from the physical to the psychological to the spiritual.  When we maintain the equanimity of our internal landscape we are ready to cope with whatever comes our way.
ABOUT DURGA:

Durga Sherri Margolin blends a number of yogic disciplines into a creative journey for self-exploration as she gently guides her students in the direction of physical and mental transformation. She thinks of the process as a non-judgemental shift in perception rather than a fundamental change of one's inherent nature. Using intuition and humor, Durga gently nudges her students to confront their limitations in both body and mind. Her classes are a safe space in which to explore letting go of whatever mental constructs clutter our vastness so we can reach a place of self-acceptance, connect with the infinite, and ultimately develop peace of mind.  She draws from her athletic background, where in 1988, she won the Miss Natural Pennsylvania Bodybuilding Competition, and a long history of yoga practice and study under the guidance of renowned yoga teachers to bring this ancient wisdom into her teaching.  She believes each day is another opportunity for new realization.

True to her adopted name, Durga embodies a multi-dimensional spiciness whose many facets envelop shakti, determination, grace, and wisdom. A native of New York City, she draws from her own intuitive well of life experience, which spans the clothing industry of Manhattan's Seventh Avenue to Los Angeles via Mexico, in an honest and open manner which is unassuming, welcoming and familiar. Always the student she encourages self study and service as a means to a happy life.  Sherri who lives in Los Angeles with her two children, two dogs and one cat,  loves to travel, attend kirtan, write, and hike.
