Stoney has been teaching Yoga since 1997, she is a counselor to inmates both past and present. She is also a volunteer teacher at Dover Park Hospice. In the past couple of years, Stoney has used this customized therapy program successfully with cancer patients, helping them to reduce their pain and stress as well as to improve their physical strength.
Stoney is certified Shiatsu practitioners and a Reiki master. Her observation and experience have enable her to create this unique form of alternative therapy that one may find extremely beneficial.
In her yoga classes, she teaches not only yoga postures but also how each posture is related to the body’s meridians and acupuncture points (derived from traditional Chinese medicine). Through consistent yoga practice, students not only experience increased flexibility and strength, they can also achieve optimum therapeutic effects from each yoga posture, e.g. relief from stress and insomnia.
In addition, through her years of practice and teaching, she has learned and observed much about how the movement of the human body can reflect the emotional well being of a person. With dance therapy classes, she helps students overcome emotional problems by expressing their frustrations through the various movements.
