      Dear Helen,
      Of course we will continue to be in touch with all our kickstarter backers.. The support goes much further than the money. We have the feeling of a community that wants to see this film made. Given the challenges that lie ahead that is a welcome and warm thought.
      Many thanks for your comment

      Tamar and Gregg,

      It is truly inspiring to see the clips from this film. It is a great to see this extension of the work that was laid out from the beginning with dancer Monica Hathaway, who like you Gregg, overcame grave physical circumstances through dedication and discovery through bodywork (alignment and breathing) after she learned she had polio.

      I am thrilled to see this testimony to the work that has been developed over the years by Monica, Harmon Hathaway and the others at the American Yoga Foundation. It is a great validation of the work.

      I was touched to see the clips that showed the similar process I also went through in working with a piano student with Cerebral Palsy, as I have also experienced first hand how the alignment works through the discipline of a field in the arts.

      I am looking forward to seeing the whole film!

      Regards,

      Chris Chalfant

      Tamar & Greg’s work and results present an opportunity for a faster and dramatic change to occur in many areas of physical problems. When new natural remedies surface and the application yields results as expressed and seen by Greg, we are inspired to help Tamar’s work grow and gain worldwide attention.
      I hope to see this work open doors for others who dream of overcoming severe disabilities.
