http://www.palmyoga.com Judith Lasater workshop I was a graduate student and only in my early twenties, but was suffering from arthritis. Luckily, as a benefit of my part time job at the "Y", I was able to take for free the yoga classes offered there, and was hoping these classes would help to relieve some of my pain. The experience of my first class was life-changing, to say the least. I felt that I had found something that was a form of worship using the body instead of only worship by prayer. The morning after my first class I got up and practiced what I remembered. It has been the same every morning since that September day in 1971. I began teaching 20 classes a week a scant 10 months later. I had found my calling.
Now arthritis-free, I completed my MA in Government, and after marrying and moving to California, graduated from the University of California, San Francisco, in Physical Therapy. I went on to receive a Ph.D in East-West Psychology, to help found the California Yoga Teachers' Association, the Yoga Journal magazine and the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco, the first one in the US. Currently I am the author of 6 books and hundreds of articles on yoga. But most proudly, I am the wife of Ike Lasater and the mother of three grown children.
