"Can this really be happening?" Pamela Brinker asked a dear friend, as she struggled to grasp the reality that she was a widow at age 50. The grief was relentless and overwhelming, and her anxiety became so intense that she could barely eat or sleep.

A psychotherapist, Pamela tried various therapeutic tools to stop the panic, but nothing worked. After two years of misery, she finally decided to try yoga again, a practice she had once loved.

As she began attending yoga sessions again, Pamela noticed she was less on edge after the classes that included "cross-crawl" poses simple movements in which you reach across your body, such as touching your left knee with your right hand and vice versa. Because of her training as a therapist, Pamela understood the left-right brain relationship and how each hemisphere controls different body functions and the importance of them working together.
