Hallie Sikes, PT

ByGinger Garner

With my training in Medical Therapeutic Yoga (MTY), I have found my professional missing link. Ginger Garner has taken the art and philosophy of yoga and looked at it through the eyes of of medical research to discern what is safe and beneficial or what is likely to cause injury. She teaches Professional Yoga Therapists to focus on stabilization of the body and protection of the spine and joints, and she uses yoga poses to create the most functional strengthening framework that I’ve seen as a PT.

MTY incorporates the ancient Ayurvedic principles around treating the whole person- building strength, teaching breathing as a tool for regulating the emotions and the nervous system, emphasizing the importance of non-violence towards others and looking at what constitutes violence in thought, word, or deed towards yourself, and knowing that food has a profound affect on health.

In Medical Therapeutic Yoga, I have a framework for helping patients learn what it feels like to have control and stability in their body- there is so much that is empowering in that feeling.
