Certified Prosthetist/Orthotist Becomes Certified Yoga Teacher

Brooke Artesi, CPO/LPO completed her 200 hour teacher training under Michelle Petersen, the director of BEYOGA, focusing on structural alignment, the breath and a steady focus to the practice. Yoga can open the practitioner to the limitless energy within, teaching patience, compassion and self-acceptance.

“I've been doing yoga since college. I did the teacher training to deepen my practice but also to use it for the amputee community. I want to use it for support groups and mentoring at Camp No Limits.”

Artesi, herself an amputee since the age of 15, continued her yoga practice throughout both her pregnancies, focusing on balance and understanding the adaptations that can be made to adjust for physical abilities. She brings this understanding and knowledge of adaptive yoga to her patients at Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthotics in Wayne, NJ, youngsters she volunteers to mentor at Camp No Limits for children with limb loss, and to amputee support groups. Artesi encourages and guides them towards self-awareness, acceptance, and stress and anxiety reduction. Being able to adapt the yoga postures to physical capabilities brings yoga to those who thought they could not do the poses and exercises.
