The awareness of how my body functions that comes from Veronica’s class allows me to adapt the asanas to my best advantage. This class would be useful for anybody/everybody!

I attended Veronica’s MTY class through chemotherapy, rehabbing after surgeries and now for overall body care and maintenance. Veronica Jun Whetsel is an amazing practitioner. She articulates so clearly and educates her students to ensure a safe and productive session no matter what your level!
About 4 years ago I found myself in physical therapy for what was deemed to be a ‘foot’ problem. Veronica had me walk around a bit and said ‘I don’t think it’s a foot problem, I think it’s spine related.’ A few x-rays later we were dealing with 4 bulging discs using physical therapy that greatly improved things. I had been doing ‘regular’ yoga but when Veronica started the Medical Therapeutic Workshops I signed up immediately knowing that as a physical therapist she was going to be able to teach in a way that would help all the participants, with various challenges, learn how to do yoga safely. That has proven to be so true – her students learn how to modify exercises for a variety of issues. The setting and pace are perfect and since no one is trying out for the Olympics there’s time for questions, demos etc. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and as we do various moves in class she’s been highlighting things that are good for building bone. It is that personal touch that brings students back every week.
Since my last appointment, I feel stronger and more in control of my body. I am not afraid to move, bend down, lift, climb, run, turn etc in fear of causing more pain. My muscles are getting stronger and can support my fluid movement. I am excited and encouraged about this process and ready to move forward!
For the first time in 20 years, I finally have my life back! After 3 surgeries, unhelpful PT and years of opioids, Veronica has given me the help I always needed. The improvement is unbelievable and friends & family who had not seen me for awhile were amazed. I can now climb stairs and walk with so much less pain after only two months of treatment! I can even sleep through the night again! I’m not stopping now! I am so anxious to continue this treatment: even for occasional ‘tune-ups’. I cannot recommend her enough!!
I would highly recommend MTY, Pilates and Veronica Jun Whetsel’s training to anyone… I have personally been blessed with great success from maintaining my core, doing Pilates and consistently doing the personalized training program Veronica made for me. In 2004 I fell and broke my back, having sustained a burst fracture that required instrumentation and fusion to repair and support that missing vertebra – after Shock Trauma I needed core strengthening, stabilization and education to be able to live life as “normally” as possible. Veronica has been key in my journey of living a “new normal,” managing pain and understanding better overall wellness. The MTY class really helped me.
