Kate Tenney, N.D.
Dr. Kate Tenney is a board certified and licensed Naturopathic Doctor who treats a broad range of acute and chronic conditions seen in family practice. While she treats people of all ages with a wide range of health concerns, she specializes in integrative health for women, and naturopathic gynecology. She also enjoys working with families, helping parents and children find natural ways to be healthy.
"As a Naturopathic doctor and a mother, I am passionate about the inherent healing power of the human body and of nature. I believe that when obstacles to healing are removed, the body can move towards balance, and from that place, optimal health can be achieved. I believe that disease and dysfunction are the body's attempt to restore internal balance and adapt to suboptimal conditions. My approach to helping patients regain this balance and attain their health goals focuses on treating the whole person as a unique individual, not a collection of symptoms."
Dr. Tenney earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, from the oldest fully accredited Naturopathic medical school, National College of Natural Medicine, in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Tenney was the resident ND under women's health expert, Dr. Kimberly Windstar, ND at the NCNM Clinic for two years, where her focus was naturopathic gynecology, preventive medicine, and endocrine disorders. Dr. Tenney was in private practice in SW Portland until 2010 when she moved with her family back to her home state, California.

The most direct path to the fruits of yoga is through a steady and consistent practice. This program is designed to recalibrate your body, mind and heart.

Imagine how wonderful it would feel to make this commitment to practice for 31 days and stick to it?! Experience it for yourself. Boost your practice and create a healthful new habit while stimulating feelings of joy, freedom and peace. As a community, we’ll support one another on this disciplined approach to our practices and purify and balance, strengthen and open, revitalize and connect!
The daily practices will include a rotation of a variety of asanas (postures), including standing and seated poses, sun salutations, back and forward bends, twists, hip openers, arm balances, inversions, core work, restorative asanas, short meditations, and pranayama.

It is a safe and effective method of clearing unwanted toxins and chemicals from the body.

______________________________________
This is not a weight loss program. However, many participants experienced the benefit of losing weight! More importantly, many students asked me to continue teaching this program EVERY DAY because they experienced the benefits of feeling amazing in their bodies, and clear in their hearts and minds. The program facilitated the creation of real and long-lasting lifestyle changes and is brought back this year by popular demand. A friendly and supportive community was formed and we all look forward to reuniting and meeting new friends.
A participant from last year's program shared these incredible before and after photos with me at the end of the 31 days. He has given me permission to share them with you.
BEFORE: 164 pounds
AFTER: 158 pounds.
