"Thus, by regular practice of Rumi Yoga, a dancer can become a better dancer -an actor can become a better actor- a musician can become a better musician. This can be best exemplified by Rumi Yoga's practitioner who embraced Rumi's work towards end of his life, the violin maestro, Lord Yehudi Menuhin acknowledging his yoga trainer not as his best yoga teacher
but his best violin teacher"
The violin maestro, Lord Yehudi Menuhin

"Rumi evokes the subtlest of passion in our souls."
Madonna
"Rumi awakens us to the dance of life so that we can celebrate THE MYSTERIES OF EXISTENCE."

Hello Dr. Mirumi,
I will be leaving for New York in two weeks to revisit the city where I barely escaped September of 2001. I am a world trade center survivor and will finally retrace my harrowing steps to find peace and closure. I expect it to be a cathartic and emotional journey and will try to take what I have learned in Rumi Yoga class with me to help my meditative and spiritual efforts. I look forward to a healing Wednesday night Rumi session upon my return as it has already nourished the soul in the short time I have been participating. I have been to your Wednesday evening class twice with a friend and have absolutely loved it. I am relatively new and love the class. If only I had known about Rumi yoga prior to a few weeks ago. It is incredible each time I leave the class. I am alive and exhilarated. I will have a lot to learn from you. Thank you.
Peace and blessings.

Abram hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.;, medical researcher, Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine—"About 1960 when my research group and I discovered a substantial protein that all schizophrenic patients excreted…it bec am e clear to me that this might be the beginning of a new paradigm…or what Dr. Tefft calls “real.” Using accurate lab measurements and orthomolecular medicine, the whole new paradigm is now open. Dr. Tefft’s book Your Personal Life is a comprehensive account of how to use the lab analysis we now are f am iliar with and how to use the correct nutritional or orthomolecular methods for repairing biochemical d am age. The information is outlined in detail; the clinical description of the treatment and responsive is impressive. I fully endorse his book for everyone interested in maintaining good health, for providing comprehensive and simple early treatment and for helping even the chronic failure from modern schizophrenia drug-only treatments.
Harold Foster, Ph.D.; professor of geography, University of Victoria; International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine’s Orthomolecular Doctor of the Year, 2004-2005; board member, Canadian Schizophrenia Foundation —"As Dr. Tefft points out, the worse the gene-to-environment antagonism, the greater the susceptibility to illness and the shorter the lifespan. This is not merely an academic observation. Acid rain and the misuse of fertilizers are resulting in a global selenium deficiency that is encouraging the spread of HIV, hepatitis B and C and the coxsackie B viruses. Together, these pathogens have already infected more than 1/3 of the world’s population and are killing some 7 million people each year. They are still rapidly diffusing. It is no coincidence that the physical and chemical destruction of the earth’s environment is being accompanied by exotic new illnesses like SARS, CFS, Autism, and the explosive of old foes such as tuberculosis.. Your Personal Life contains crucial insights on how we can best help ourselves in the midst of these real health threats."
David L. Watts, Ph.D. F.A.C.E.P., Director of Trace Elements International Labs – "The information in Dr. Tefft’s books underscores the importance of recognizing metabolic individuality. Emphasis on uniqueness of the individual will substantially impact health, prevention of disease, longevity and genetic potential in a positive manner. Treating the individual instead of just their symptoms will, in the long run., result not only in better health for Ame ricans, but will also aid in the reduction of the ever-growing health care costs of the nation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about taking the best care of themselves using the science that will soon be recognized as the future health."
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D; Cell Biologist; Lecturer and Best Selling Author of the Biology of Belief "Conference Speaker for What The Bleep Do We Know? – “As with snow flakes, no two humans are the s am e. Each individual possesses a unique biochemical terrain reflecting his or her identity and physiologic status. In spite of this known individuality, allopathic medicine persists in treating patients as representing genetics ‘norms’, all with disastrous results. In Your Personal Life, Dr. Greg Tefft introduces the reader to the healing efficacy of individualized health care or offered through (Ortho) molecular Medicine. Dr. Tefft’s clinical research on creating optimum ecological environments in the body through personalized nutrition therapy will help to define how dysfunction and disease will be assessed and treated in the future."
For the past ten years I have struggled with serious depression and anxiety attacks due to rape and domestic violence that occurred 11 years ago. I use to feel dead inside. I tried every pill, therapies, healer & retreat I could get my hands on. Even psychiatric hospitals. Nothing worked! Until Rumi Yoga was accidentally introduced to me. If there is such thing as accident! After practicing Rumi Yoga faithfully for three weeks I began to feel as though a dark cloud had been lifted. My depression and anxiety attacks vanished and I began to finally forgive myself and my perpetrator. Rumi Yoga is soul Therapy, It touched my soul in such an unexpected mysterious way. I am no longer haunted by my past, Rumi Yoga freed my soul.
Thank you so much Dr. Mirumi

My decision to go on your program was about trying to be healthier. I was impressed that all the problems that I was experiencing showed up in the results from the hair and mineral analysis. I had been on your recommended nutritional supplements for three months and basically followed the suggested diet plan. After just three weeks I had lost an additional 8 lbs. and felt much better.

Hi Guru Mirumi,
Keep me posted on your developments. Tonight’s practice was unbelievable. I am so happy I cannot contain myself in this world. :-) Of course I'll continue with RY. I'll be working on the testimonial.
Love,

Mirumi,
First, I want to say thank you for your wonderful class and your healing
words. I am still somewhat amazed at how I come to class bringing in worries and stresses from the day, completely cloaked in my ego... and by the end of class, I can feel the layers peeled away, and I see my real self. I feel compassion for myself. And I never would have thought I'd know what that felt like. And now that I've found Rumi Yoga, I have a knowing that it will be a large part of my healing. I knew the first time I went to your class that it sparked a part of me that was lost. I remember a huge emotional release that I didn't understand at the time. I feel God calling me back to Him through Rumi Yoga, and through people like you, who really radiate love and positive energy.
Again, thank you. I look forward to the journey...
Many blessings, Amanda
Larry Wilcox, actor (television show CHIPS, etc.) – “Thanks for being professional and being the best!”
It happens sometimes when things close, it allows other things to open. That is how the practice of Rumi Yoga came into my life. It was what I envisioned Yoga to be like. Good hard exercise and stretching as well as a meditative practice. At the time I was going through a separation from my partner. The Rumi poetry recited throughout the practice brought me out of the hurtful past so I could look towards the future. It was a lifeline to sanity and calmness in the face what had the potential to be a tumultuous situation.

Whenever my mind is in a space in which I don't intend it to be, even just the thought of the Rumi positions I have been introduced to and have practiced, put my mind at ease. I was initially taught two key positions that have become staples in my life. One which gives me direction and plants and nurtures my intentions. I have witnessed the effect of this particular position as the power of my inner strength blooms. I have also achieved great strides in my work life, I attribute much of this success and the success that I know is to come to the practice of this position. The second position I was initially introduced to has helped me at times when I am feeling below par. If I catch myself feeling down I simply lie in the position and concentrate on my breathing. The effect is amazing, I can be in space that seems completely overwhelming and I am able to reverse the feeling into a sense of calm and peace. I have also had the pleasure of going through a series of the Rumi positions with my Coach, after practicing the positions, I felt amazing. I experienced a multitude of feelings and a heightened awareness of my senses. The words I use to describe how I felt include, inner strength, hope, peace, power, calm, positive energy, and in general a slight sense of euphoria. I have never experienced such a subtle invigorating feeling. I felt wonderfully at ease and directed. This feeling does not leave you, it's unforgettable and will perpetuate itself, as it perpetuates, a magnification of your vision and your inner self will appear.

I have practiced several types of yoga though since I was 17...almost 30 years now. What I was most taken by in Rumi Yoga is its focus and intentionality. I felt that your phrase "gravity of the soul" really describes it well. To me, the postures particularly engaged my emotional core and yoked my physical being not only to my mental will but also to my spiritual will, especially poses like the "Calling" and the other one with arms spread wide "Open Heart." Butterfly 1 & 2 also grounded this focus and will in physical strength, and "divine rebirth" helped me re-focus my energies on my potential and my true being. The second set did feel different from the first. I could easily see how this type of yoga, practiced on a daily basis, could serve as an emotional-spiritual healing tool for people suffering from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, or just the everyday stress caused by living in the Western materialistic world.
We often lose our focus and get distracted by the material rat race of survival. Rumi yoga seemed to engage the core of my being on several levels, but was driven mostly by spiritual will and purpose, which served to re-connect me to the larger divine will. I was amazed by its potential as a self-growth and therapeutic tool and by its simplicity. I found the poetry of the names of the poses to be extremely helpful in centering me. They each helped me to focus on a particular emotional need, like "awakening." Then the music and the poetry itself created an experience I've often tried to create on my own in doing yoga while listening to New Age or Eastern music. The organized pattern and flow was beautiful in its simplicity and provided a kind of guidance that, through the music and words, engaged more than just my body. As I said, I felt a unity between my emotions, my mind, my body, my will, and my spirit, and all were working together to help me focus on who I really am and what I need to do to become truly myself. It was great. The power for change was obvious. I mentioned to my wife. She is resistant to such practices. I would love to find a way for her to try it without fear. Your gentle instruction at the beginning told me this could be a way for her and could help her move beyond her past into her own shining beauty. I've always wanted to find a path we could share as well, and while Rumi Yoga has the potential to be very strenuous; it is easier for a beginner than Bikram and not as intense due to the heat. The music and poetry adds a soothing element that cannot be denied.
Thank you, and I would like to participate more and integrate the practice into my life.
