Rescue Yoga

Welcome to Rescue Yoga

Often we find atheism both in individual and society a nessesary passage to deeper religious and spiritual truth: One has sometimes to deny God in order to find Him.

RESCUE YOGA MISSION 

My mission is to reduce stress, ease pain and bring peace back into peoples lives by reminding them of the natural balance they have within them all the time. Using yoga as a health care management system, we can unify the mind, body and breath to increase overall well being and health.

RESCUE YOGA BIO

Hello, I am Jennifer Alterman. I started Rescue Yoga in 2003. I first started doing yoga by accident while in the Army. I started kickboxing and teaching step aerobics in Asia when I realized all the training the Army had given me wasn't working out all the kinks and getting to the root of my pains. I had seen a Tae Bo video with Billy Blanks doing some cool stretching at the end and thought those moves were really cool and felt so good. So I incorporated the moves in to our units daily physical training and saw wonderous results, both in myself and in my fellow soldiers. In 1999 when I moved with my husband and daughter to Irving TX, I was looking for a new way to stay in shape but still maintain a full time work, full time mom and wife, and part time student. So I did what I thought was the civilian thing to do and join a health club. In 2000 one of my friends dragged me down to a yoga studio in Dallas where I was not so shocked at how boring yoga was. She told me, give it three times and you will love it. Well, I did as she asked and I was hooked. After that I had been taking yoga classes all over town, but most of the classes seemed like they were lacking a certain essence. Enter Meg Plotsky, whom had trained with Baron Baptiste. Once I began training with Meg, I entered a whole new realm of yoga, practicing rather than posing. Unfortunately in 2004, my husband and I were in a car accident and I was unable to work for 3 months. With the help of my chiropractor, a massage therapist and Meg , I was able to go back to work and get my spine into better shape than before the accident. Over the years I became a certified instructor and slowly began instructing group and private sessions. So it is with great attention that I pass on my passion and philosophy of yoga to help others restore thier natural balance.
