CF writes: "I live in an over 55 community that is constantly promoting yoga and other 'fitness' programs. The newest program being offered to the seniors is the Feldenkrais Method . . . Are you familiar with this method of fitness? Is this another 'New Age' type program? I looked on the website and it sure looks like one to me.

Anyway, do you have any info on this therapy and any concerns? Some of this new age stuff is obviously problematic, but I can't help but think that some "alternative" medicine is much better than the 'treat the symptom' form of western medicine."

Wayne Dyer (1940 - 2015)MR writes: “I have Catholic friends who really like Wayne Dyer on PBS and tell me that he believes the same as we do. I think he is a new ager who twists the truth.
