Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Judith Hanson Lasater became a prominent figure in American yoga by combining long practice with formal study of body and mind. In 1970, while in Austin and writing a master’s thesis, she took yoga at a student YMCA to ease arthritic symptoms and return to dance; by 1971 she was teaching. She later became a longtime student of B.K.S. Iyengar, earned a doctorate in East-West psychology, and trained as a physical therapist. Those experiences gave her work its lasting focus on alignment, anatomy, therapeutics, and everyday practice. ((https://www.yogamatters.com/blogs/community/meet-judith-hanson-lasater))
