About YogaJP

YogaJP was founded by Mary Cavanaugh and Sherry Zak Morris, registered yoga teachers with the Yoga Alliance who specialize in Gentle and Senior Yoga. Brought together by the serendipity of life, they became fast friends and colleagues on a mission to spread the healing and encouraging message of yoga.

Gentle Yoga Videos

With the support of family and friends, and alot of professional contributors, Mary and Sherry created a unique two-set Gentle Yoga DVD Series especially designed for seniors and people with physical challenges. Both DVDs include traditional Hatha Yoga postures and Healing Meditation techniques, but take a more gentle approach to movements and stretching. Many of the sessions demonstrate the use of props, such as chairs and belts, which make movements much easier and safer.

Expanded Yoga Videos Reach Wider Audience

As the success of the Gentle Yoga Series continued, it was apparent that more people could benefit from yoga that were not being reached. Focusing on busy, stressed out people, YogaJP recorded a series of yoga videos with specially-trained yoga teachers in the areas of stress management and restorative practices.

Mary Cavanaugh Scholarship

Worldwide succcess of these DVDs has fostered the creation of the Mary Cavanaugh Scholarship which funds community outreach programs to bring yoga to seniors and people with physical limitations. As an example of this outreach, YogaJP's DVDs are being used by Multiple Sclerosis patients in India to ease the pain and encourage movement for this community. Just one of the many communities touched by yoga's healing gift.

Mary passed away in 2005, but her spirit and her mission continue on through the YogaJP organization and her DVDs that she helped manifest.
