You are the elixir for which the world thirsts. I find myself feeling light, refreshed,  grounded, hopeful, pain free, rested, &  resilient after these classes. Who knew virtual Medical Therapeutic Yoga —in the right hands, like Dr. Ginger Garner’s — could yield such profound, restorative, immediate benefits! I’m delighted, (and not easily impressed, being  a nationally board-certified orthopedic doctor of physical therapist —& decades-long, certified professional yoga therapist — myself.) 

You are a trusted gem in a sea of on-line unknowns, Dr. Garner, and a gift to us all. Thank you for keeping us safe, evidence-grounded, & soulfully uplifted. I have not personally experienced a more nimble biopsychosocial rehabilitation guide. I am grateful for the grace of your teachings, virtual and face-to-face. You are a restoring healer, & a true Essential Worker in these challenging times. I am eager to continue this practice. Thank you for making it available here on the West Coast, while live-streaming from the East Coast. So grateful am I! Namaste.

Ginger’s program is a gift for health care practitioners . It has fulfilled a deep desire for learning, for me. Thank you for creating it and keeping it flexible to let it evolve, with more research.

Ginger, you have empowered me as a PT to approach the clinicians and share this model in a language, they can understand. Experience of learning with PYTI is like having a sweet mango. One can go on and on with words to describe it, yet true joy lies only in actually having it.

Sincere gratitude to Dr. Ginger Garner and her team for a great learning experience. What a gift it is to be able to integrate Medical Therapeutic Yoga for self care and well being of healthcare community, as a physical therapist .

Ginger, I am so grateful for your program. I don’t know where I would be mentally, emotionally or physically today, especially during this last week (of dealing with COVID-19). Yoga opened doors within me that I forgot were there, and this has been a great gift I wasn’t seeking or expecting. If you ever feel in the coming days like you are talking into the void, know that people are hearing your message and appreciate you for sharing it!

Ginger, 

I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for me and let you know just how impactful you have been on my life. The past 5 years have some of the best and most stressed I have ever experienced. Because of you and the lessons learned at PYTI, I feel totally prepared for it all. 

I am practicing therapy the way patients deserve. I am happy working and the community loves MTY! 

My oldest son, Robert, was diagnosed with autism this year. I feel like all the training prepared me for this and he LOVES all the asana, pranayama, and vocal toning exercises we do. He is thriving and happy. 

Thank you for helping shape my life into this beautiful mess. I am forever grateful.

It was easy for me to pinpoint the moment I knew I needed, and wanted, Ginger to be involved in my birth process from pregnancy to postpartum.  It was the second I was lead in to a small, sterile, dark room to watch a video, alone, on a small stool at a traditional OB/GYN. On what should have been one of the most special days of our lives, instead it felt clinical.  This was the day we went to our first appointment after the positive in-office pregnancy test.  

I didn’t even make it to the car before breaking down in tears and reaching out to Ginger.  I knew I wanted more from my care provider throughout my pregnancy. The holistic and all-encompassing approach Ginger takes in her life and her practice is second to none.  Ginger shared several options to look into that would provide more of the holistic type of care we wanted throughout our pregnancy and during delivery as well as the birth classes she provided.  

We met with Ginger for several sessions in the months leading up to delivery.  During that time she not only shared information with me about the stage of pregnancy and techniques to help mentally and physically prepare for the natural, drug-free, child birth we desired, but also with my husband. This was our first pregnancy and we both wanted to have all the tools we could to have a completely natural childbirth.  She suggested laboring positions for different stages and types of labor.  She also shared what to expect postpartum and with breastfeeding.  She shared a variety of answers to the many questions I seemed to have every visit.  

We felt so confident going into the birth knowing that Ginger had prepared us with all the tools necessary.  We are so genuinely grateful for the sessions we had with Ginger before, during and after the birth of our daughter, and son.  Oh and the ujyaii/victorious breath, I will forever be grateful for that breath Ginger helped me master… One doesn’t know the depth of a breath until you’re mid contraction! 

Thank you Ginger, for helping us navigate this terrifying and thrilling experience and for truly listening to and understanding our questions, thoughts and concerns about becoming parents.

Ginger is a wise and compassionate health care provider who blends medical yoga with rehabilitation programming, and she has an extensive background of patient care service. Her style is forward thinking towards patient education, empowerment, and optimization of function, and she works with other health care team members to provide a healing community of care. I highly recommend her.

I couldn’t recommend Ginger enough! She saved me from a second shoulder surgery. I am very impressed with the way she blends Western medicine with Eastern knowledge and techniques. She didn’t ignore the need for x-rays, and possible surgery; but worked with me on an anti-inflammatory diet and gave me appropriate exercises to try to bring function back to my shoulder. It worked!!! We were both diligent and after 6 months, I am happy to say I am pain free and have near full range of motion! What a wonderful experience. I am now a Yoga and Ginger fan! And, am on my way in learning about “clean eating”. It has all made a tremendous difference in my energy, health and overall quality of life! Thank You!!!

Thank you Ginger….thank you, thank you…..for introducing me to yoga.

It has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my body and my mind and my soul and my music and my family and my well being and…well you get the idea.  I never imagined, four years ago when I was having such trouble with my back, that I’d be doing back bends and arm stands like I could do when I was a teenager.  I never thought I’d be running 4 to 5 miles at a time again either.  I don’t feel like I’ll be 50 in just a few short months.  I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time.  I wonder how I’ll feel at sixty?  Bring it on!
