About Help of Ojai  
About Help Yoga Program
Help of Ojai is one of Ojai's most valuable resources. The non-profit group provides the infrastructure necessary to allow us to age in our own homes.  
Two different one-hour classes a week are currently being offered at $30 for 6 weeks.
From pick up services to hot lunches to activities, adult day care and hospice, Help of Ojai is a model for communities everywhere, offering a vision of full living late into life.

Additional Study
We also highly recommend studying with the following teachers:
Arturo Peal    
Arturo_Peal   Arturo has lots of skills. One of Lulu Bandha's primary care providers, Arturo provides the space in which you can relax. One of the most grounded people we know, he is able to communicate the vibration necessary to touch the heart, yours and others. His trainings are listed on his website, www.bodystudies.com. He will be teaching at Lulu's in August and October 2008 and March 2009.
     
Cheri Clampett    
Cheri_Clampett   Cheri Clampett is dedicated to the healing power of yoga focusing on freeing the body, breath and flow of energy through practicing with awareness and love. For over 16 years, she has been developing her unique style of Theruapuetic Yoga. She and Arturo have lead Teacher Trainigs at institutions around the country. She will be at Lulu's in October for the Ojai Yoga Crib in 2008. www.chericlampett.com
Patricia Sullivan

Quietly generous and supportive, she has a keen eye for detail and always seems to know how to create more space and more stability in a posture.
