The mind is the king of the senses, but the breath is the king of the mind.

Yogic approach to Respiratory Health-
The health of the respiratory system is important for the health of the entire body. The Yogic approach to rectifying imbalance is gradual and gentle, with emphasis on redirecting subtle energies rather than on just gross physical manipulation. Many people try to treat the symptoms without trying to remedy the underlying causes. Yoga addresses the root causes and brings the whole system into balance. That is what we will be doing in this course.

Yoga gave me back the health and the life I thought I had lost, gifting me with a profound awareness of the importance of “Being in Stillness”. -Margie Hunter
Margie received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Political Science and Telecommunications. A combination of subjects which she intended to apply in producing documentaries. But life had other plans for her.
In 1999 Margie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Among many other symptoms, she lost all sense of balance and depth perception. That part of her brain had been damaged. At a loss on what to do, Yoga found its way to her, making her stronger than before the diagnosis. She has been able to regain her balance and depth perception and eliminate all the other disabling symptoms that had been caused by MS, through her yoga practice and lifestyle changes.
Under the guidance of her revered guru, Bhupendra Soneji, she has been studying Raja yoga for the past 22 years in the tradition of Swami Satyananda Saraswati. He has guided her on classic yoga, yogic philosophy, and application of therapeutic practices as a student, as well as a teacher. Swami Maheshananda came into her life as a shining light in 2011 to further enhance her practice. Later she would travel with him to Nepal, experience the life changing parikrama in Mt Kailash, Tibet in 2013 and Ayurvedic retreat at the IAIM center in Bengaluru, India in 2019. She dove deeply into her practice as she felt herself heal and came to the realization that her dharma was to share that possibility of healing with others. MS was the gift that brought yoga and her purpose to her in a very mindful and loving way.
Margie continues to be a student and has been teaching for the past 14 years. She holds yoga classes on the beach and streamed on Zoom.us in Huntington Beach, California USA. She mentors others on a weekly basis to address concerns with a chronic disease such as MS. She manages weekend and day retreats and holds conferences on Yoga and its healing power. Her approach to healing is through bringing the nervous system into a balanced state, creating homeostasis through breath/pranayama, asana and stillness of meditation, thus giving the body the space to repair. No matter what name is given to a dis-ease, the body needs to be brought back to ease and balance to heal. Yoga is the perfect process for that.
She is the author of “Transcending MS”, written to reach those whom she hasn’t been able to reach in person.
