Upcoming Book Release

"The ONLY thing that you have to do is BREATHE."

Upcoming Book Release

Nydia here!

The wait is over, I’ve started working on the manuscripts that will become different forms of my future published work.

I am creating a manual for aspiring therapeutic yoga students and teachers who are interested in improving their whole mind/body/spirit health for the long-term. I am also creating a manual for the certified yoga teachers that will be applying to participate in the specialized training courses that I have created, in order to support them when they audition to be considered for a position in future Therapeutic Yoga Research programs.

I am enjoying the process of writing about the method that I have created over the past 40+ years that has melded physical therapy, fitness & Hatha yoga together to create the unique therapeutic yoga practices that I am sharing with our yoga and medical communities here in San Antonio and beyond.

This work has been long overdue, and I’m so energized and happy to finally be walking further along on the path that will help me to continue to share this unique system of accessible Therapeutic Yoga.

Nydia loves what she does. She cares so much about each person in the class, not just for today, but to help us through aging healthily.  Not only do my muscles feel better, she always puts me in a good mood.

Maria Iturbe

Nydia is amazing! Loved today’s class.

Jennifer Rockwell

I finally found someone who can help me. In addition to being a yogi, Nydia is a doctor of physical therapy and a published scientist in cancer research, who has developed this therapeutic yoga practice over 4 decades.

Donna Shields

My Rheumatologist recommended yoga with Nydia as a form of physical therapy  for a neuromuscular condition.  Nydia guided the Gentle Therapeutic Yoga class, comprised of yoga instructors to beginners, in a way that felt personal.  I was able to do the movements (all on the floor) and was not tired or hurting so I mentioned that the intent was for me to build strength.  Nydia explained the movements that build strength and that I would probably be a little sore the next day.  She was correct but I still felt good.  A sense of achievement.  Finally physical therapy that does not hurt nor focus on my limitations but my overall well being.  I know I will have neuromuscular challenges in the future but I feel I have a method to manage my quality of life now. Thank you Nydia for dispelling what I thought I knew about yoga and introducing me to lifetime change.

I have gone to yoga with Nydia for many years, but now I am going with a different focus. I recently had a hip replacement, and I know that she will modify the practice for me so that I can get the benefits of the yoga practice and rehab my hip without doing anything that would harm my recovery. Bottom line is that I trust her, and that means everything to me.

Nydia and Ernest the best

Teresa M Alvarez

I recommend this yoga sanctuary for everyone!! Nydia is absolutely amazing and is truly unique. I appreciate each time I attend a class I am never encouraged to do anything beyond the point of discomfort.

Charmaine Flores

This is my first experience at yoga. I was recommended by my doctor and I must say Nydia has a gift to conduct these classes. She has an awesome personality and makes you feel comfortable through the entire class. the environment is serene and that allows you to concentrate and feel at ease. I believe she can help restore the balance my body and mind needs. I can’t wait to continue my classes with her and embrace the changes of my mind and body that is so required. I definitely recommend taking her classes especially for first timers. Thank you Nydia:)

Carolyn Perez

Wonderful experience.  I sought out Nydia for help after experiencing tremendous pain following a group yoga class elsewhere. Nydia spent extra time with me to address the difficulties and pain I was having and I was able to complete a yoga class without pain for the first time in weeks.  I’m so glad I reached out to Nydia.

Jack Willome

Nydia is awesome and has been an amazing resource in my life!  I’ve attended her classes regularly for 2 years and results have been tremendous.  I have a peripheral neuropathy (feet are numb) which was detrimental to my balance, to the point where she started me leaning against the wall in standing postures…I haven’t had to lean against the wall for a long time!  My strength, dexterity and mobility are progressing in spite of the neuropathy!  Nydia class is part of my regular routine…a necessity in my life!

Kathy Ruiz

Nydia is so personable. You feel affirmed in just saying “hello!”

Regina Lee

Excellent instruction that is body friendly in an environment that nourishes the soul. I always leave feeling like I have had a vacation!
