Dr. Arlene Schmid, PhD, OTR, RYT-200, has been an occupational therapist for more than 25 years and is a professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at Colorado State University. For nearly 20 years, Arlene has completed funded research trials of yoga in different diagnostic populations—such as people with stroke, brain injury, and chronic pain. Her studies have demonstrated that yoga is not only feasible but highly beneficial to people with both acute and chronic injuries and disability. Most recently, Arlene and her colleagues have begun to add imaging techniques to better understand the impact of yoga on the brain, and they have merged yoga with occupational therapy or education to enhance results.  

Arlene's workshops are a true reflection of her kind and open personality, blending informative sessions with a sense of fun and inspiration. Participants not only gain valuable knowledge but also leave with a new set of tools to enrich their home yoga routines. Her approach ensures that learning feels engaging and empowering, making her workshops both enjoyable and beneficial. Arlene's passion for yoga shines through in her teaching style, creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all who attend. Participants leave feeling rejuvenated and motivated.
