About Yoga Journey Productions

Yoga Journey Productions was founded under the primary principle of producing yoga videos that are accessible to all populations, no matter what physical condition, age or life stage a person may be in. Yoga is a healing modality that everyone can benefit from, but yoga video choices are often very limited for people with no prior experience or limited physical abilities. The flagship Gentle Yoga Video Series by Octogenarian Mary Cavanaugh, Registered Yoga Teacher, has worldwide exposure to tens of thousands of seniors and physically challenged individuals. New yoga and exercise videos are continually added to the collection of Gentle and Senior Yoga videos to broaden the exposure of yoga to this growing population and are available on www.YogaJP.com or www.Gentle-SeniorYoga.com.

About the Founders

GentleYogaTeacher Yoga Journey Productions 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, Yoga Journey Productions first Yoga Videos were a creative compilation of Mary Cavanaugh's popular Yoga Cable-TV program which focused on Gentle Yoga for Seniors and Gentle Yoga for Everyone. 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 over the Internet

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, Yoga Journey Productions produced 100's of educational videos for Take5Moment with experts from around the country who share strategies for dealing with work stress, injuries, rehabilitation, and mind/body connections, etc. The collection of these Health and Wellness DVDs are available through our online store.

Mary Cavanaugh Scholarship

Worldwide success 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. Enjoy her last interview.
