Minnetonka's Mind Body Solutions Presents Matthew Sanford at MOA
Matthew Sanford, author, speaker and nationally recognized paraplegic yoga instructor will present, “Waking Mind and Body,” Sunday, Nov. 6, from 1-3:30 pm, at the Best Buy Rotunda, at the Mall of America. The free event is presented by Mind Body Solutions of Minnetonka and lululemon athletica.
During two sessions (Session I: 1-2 pm; Session II: 2:30 – 3:30 pm; Book Signing 2-2:30 pm), Sanford will offer an inspiring presentation and introduction to yoga for ALL abilities as he shares his harrowing story of trauma, and loss, and the transformative work of his non-profit Mind Body Solutions. Attendees will be moved to discover their own secret to living well and feel the importance of waking both their mind and their body. A raffle drawing will be held at each session.
Serving any individual living with a disability or mobility issue, Sanford and Mind Body Solutions’ just released DVD, “Beyond Disability: A Yoga Practice with Matthew Sanford,” will be available for sale. Visitors will have the opportunity to view clips on MOA’s two-story JumboTron in the Best Buy Rotunda. “Beyond Disability” comes from Sanford’s decades-plus experience with yoga, paralysis and disability and serves as a ‘how to’ bringing — for the first time — his pioneering mind-body fundamentals ‘step-by-step’ into people’s homes, rehabilitation centers, to senior living facilities, nursing homes, VA hospitals, health care institutions and beyond—virtually to anyone, in any setting.
