Sam Dworkis / Yoga Instructor in Boca Raton, Florida

I’m Sam Dworkis and have been practicing and teaching yoga for over 40 years. I’ve written three books, all based on unique circumstances that have affected my approach to yoga. I’ve studied with master teachers in India, Europe, throughout the US and Canada. I wrote my first book, "ExTension Yoga” in part because I was dissatisfied with the books that were published at the time and also in part because of the way I was taught to practice yoga. "ExTension Yoga" is a no-pain, no-strain approach to yoga adapted for people of all ages, from couch potatoes to athletes. When I was in my 40s, I developed multiple sclerosis and soon became disabled. No longer able to do "ExTension Yoga," I taught myself how to adapt "ExTension Yoga" and used it to recover most of what I had lost. That adaptation was the basis for my second book, "Recovery Yoga," which is designed for chronically ill, injured, and aging people. Now I’m in my 70s, and although I can do most everything I could do when I was younger, I don’t care. What I can do is no longer as important to me as HOW I practice yoga. My third book, "The Mechanics of Yoga," explains the counter-intuitive logic and techniques by which yoga can be adapted to benefit all yoga practitioners and how it can work for all styles of yoga. My books are available through my website at www.extensionyoga.com. Although I currently live in Boca Raton, I teach online world-wide. For further information, I may be contacted by email at
