Why We Call This Yoga

Dr. Howie Shareff was an energetic practicing dentist, devoted husband and father, recreational athlete and community volunteer until arthritis changed his life. About 15 years ago (pre-middle age), Howie noticed changes but was not clear that this was arthritis. He sought to maximize his wellness and quality of life. Fortunate for Howie, one of his patients became a yoga teacher and easily recruited him as a student.

Our Mission

You Call This Yoga is dedicated to educating the public about the benefits of yoga and providing opportunities for the public to learn Adaptive Yoga practices. This will occur though public and private classes, educational materials and grants for teacher training.
