“Thank you for the most necessary respite from my/our world of sometimes compassion fatigue, always hard work. I was able to literally ‘catch my breath’ during the time of yoga practice. Then, I was in better spirit to facilitate the group therapy for my patients... Know that your practice extends to the work done in my clinic.”
