Jane Gould, a San Francisco area yoga teacher was diagnosed with MS and used Tibetan healing and yoga in conjunction with western medicine to a manage the disease and even reverse some of its effects.\\xa0 She now offers yoga classes for others with MS and has seen the same miraculous results in many of her students.\\xa0 In this interview Jane tells her own inspiring story and offers hope to others living with MS. \\xa0 Resources
