I read this guy's book, I went to see a talk given by him, and then I took a couple of yoga classes directed by him.

Here's his website.

His book is pretty interesting, and I recommend it to anyone interested in viewing SCIs in a different way than western medicine generally sees them.

He didn't give me much individual attention in the yoga class I took with him, but that's ok, because instead I had attractive females supporting, massaging and encouraging my body into adaptations of normal yoga poses. It was fun.

I've checked out this guy on the web some years ago and read a little of his stuff. I like his style.
sfultong, the session sounds very very therapeutic.

From what little I know of you, Nomis, I thought you'd appreciate him.

The central ideas espoused in his book is very interesting to me: that lack of normal sensation below your level of injury allows you to be more in tune with more subtle body processes. I'd like to explore this more, and I will probably take up yoga. I did a bit of yoga before my injury, but I ended up going down more of a martial arts path (tai chi and kung fu).

One thing that I've noticed since my injury, is that loud noises "startle" my legs.
