“Our work with Love Your Brain is a
great example of how partnering with
organisations with similar goals helps us
to reach goals faster,” says Murphy.
“Helping a great organisation grow
intentionally and sustainably is what
really lights us up.”


The unsung hero


Lauren Tudor


AS A RECREATION THERAPIST for the
Shepherd Center, a brain rehabilitation
centre in Atlanta, Georgia, Lauren Tudor
sees the challenges traumatic brain injury
patients face every day: it’s her job to help
them transition back into their
communities. As a yogi, Tudor also
knows yoga’s ability to rejuvenate—
which is how she found herself
advocating for Love Your Brain. “I see
fi rst-hand the impact yoga has on our
patients in the Shepherd Centre,” Tudor


says. “The fact that Love Your Brain
makes yoga so accessible outside the
hospital setting, when patients arguably
need yoga even more, is truly amazing.”
To help spread the word about
Love Your Brain’s yoga programs,
Tudor joined the clinical
connector network, where
she refers patients to a
six-week, Love Your Brain
program at a nearby yoga
studio. She also completed
the Love Your Brain training
along with a few other therapists
at the Shepherd Center, and together
they’ve formed an informal committee to
help identify and target patients who
might benefi t from the Love Your Brain
program. “Yoga is one of the most
powerful healing tools I’ve seen at our
facility,” says Tudor. “It’s truly a gift to be
able to refer my patients to a yoga
program that has the potential to
continue that deep healing.”
