Wrist and hand pain gone with just a few simple exercises
I did the shoulder video today. It was so incredibly helpful. I can’t tell you how much my wrist and hand have been hurting and I saw a noticeable difference just doing the wall exercises in that video. - Jen Mantle
A simple yoga strap makes the shoulders feel great
Jen, I loved this class! I especially liked the use of the strap. My shoulders feel fabulous!!!! Thank you!...the entire setup helped strengthen my shoulders & open up my chest. I’m excited my shoulders feel great!

How would you feel after 90 days committed to your health?
What does the research say?
As an Interpreter, consistent daily habits of self-care is the only way to prevent occupational injury or burnout. Research proves this!
For one example, a research study on Carpal Tunnel showed that the Yoga group significantly improved grip strength (p=0.009) and pain reduction (p=0.02 improved).
Yoga is a proven solution for musculoskeletal issues, conditions that affect the nervous system and organs and a remedy for modern-day stress.
If you are in pain and feeling overwhelmed and you have put in hours of improving your skills but now you want to take care of your own body, you found the place.
Here, you will find like-minded interpreters, people who know they need to fill their own tank so they have more to give.
Every week, you will get direct guidance from Jen.
You will feel stronger, more resilient, flexible, aware and empowered.

This is the part about me and why I want all interpreters to FEEL GOOD... and change the interpreting world!
I help interpreters, like you, get out of pain, feel better, and establish a long-lasting career.
Interpreting is a job we all love, but let's be honest it is hard on the body and especially now that we are doing more on video. The reality is no one talks about the effects on the body! How can we have a sustainable career if we don't have the techniques and tools to address the accumulated stress, burnout, or compassion fatigue? In fact, taking care of yourself can be a radical act!
Are you ready to get radical with me?
Why me? Because I have been interpreting for close to 30 years and have integrated a yoga practice that has empowered me to know how to help myself get out of pain and release the stress from building up in my body and in my mind. I've done it all, tried it all, and got injured - so you don't have to!
Yoga is a time-honored method and using my experience and techniques, is perfectly suited to address the unique needs that interpreters have. Not all yoga classes are good for our shoulders and wrists. I know because I've done them and I've suffered so I know what NOT to do.
I also understand how hard it is to keep to a routine without support. I've found a way I want to share with you
Ditch the Stress and Pain of interpreting spotlights your physical needs, and your mental health and gets you into an easy routine. I also believe it's time we have a space that focuses on interpreter preventative help and overall well-being.

Some truth bombs
Not all methods of yoga are helpful for us.
How do I know that?
I tore my rotator cuff trying to keep up in class.
Ouch. I couldn't work for a while.
And there is research -
Yoga, if expertly modified for the person's injury, can be enormously helpful for people with RSI; however, the wrong asana practice can make matters significantly worse.
Yoga for People with Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI): Deborah Quilter Int J Yoga Therapy (2007) 17 (1): 89–94.
I finally found a method of yoga that broke it all down into pieces like you would learn a language and made me feel grounded and strong (and it didn't bore me)
Progressively, I learned, got stronger, more flexible, and found greater peace of mind...
all without injury!
As a matter of fact, I've learned to use my practice to heal injuries. I'm always amazed at how holistic, integrated movement heals. And then I dedicated myself to sharing this with others.
All of this has helped me work as an interpreter for almost 30 years! But I was keeping it to myself (greedy) until the pandemic made me pivot and realize I had
so much to share with YOU! (thank you COVID?!)
I know what we, interpreters need and how to adapt. Interpreters might need to learn at a different pace or way but all the actions and postures of yoga are so healing and helpful for us! After more than 20 years of studying yoga, I know how what and when to teach interpreters.
I know you can feel different!
Don't take my word for it,
hear what interpreters are saying
Jennifer hated any kind of exercise but knew she had to start something. Now, she looks for times to do her practice which is no longer a chore but an essential part of her healthcare.
Brenda wanted tools to help her with the tension from interpreting and she hoped that maybe she could, one day, get back to running.
