  Social Worker and a certified ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills 
 Training) facilitator.  Ed is currently a Transitional Case manager with
   CMHA Middlesex and has worked in the field of mental health for 20 year
 s in various community-based positions from housing to crisis services.  
  Ed’s most proud accomplishment in the field of Social Work is his devel
 opment of the group ‘Rock Talk’\;  a group that focuses on connecting
  and navigating emotions through individual interpretations of music and l
 yrics.\n\nIn 1999 at the end of his 1st year of college\, Ed was diagnosed
  with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy.  At the time\, Ed was working in Briti
 sh Columbia and was experiencing odd\, twitching episodes which were later
  confirmed to be seizure activity.  Ed’s epilepsy is managed by a combi
 nation of medications\, rest\, trying to live stress-free\, and exercise (
 mostly ice hockey).\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_c

 epilepsy when she was 14 years old. Originally\, she was only having absen
 ce seizures but later began having tonic-clonic and focal with impaired aw
 areness seizures as well. After experiencing multiple daily seizures for y
 ears\, she has remained seizure-free for the past 5 years.\n\nJayme’s jo
 urney with epilepsy inspired her to help other people\, so she completed h
 er University practicum at Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario\, helping to deve
 lop the youth program\, YEP! Since then\, Jayme has worked as ESWO's YEP! 
 Program Facilitator\, Client Services Manager\, and now\, Epilepsy Educato

 x’s approach to yoga is as varied as the students with whom he is workin
 g. Whether it is formal practice\, teaching in community settings\, or pes
 tering friends and family with yoga-inspired life hacks\, Michael’s appr
 oach is accessible\, non-Guru based\, and fun. Having completed over 500 h
 ours of training\, Michael’s ongoing work involves teaching yoga to teen
 agers and adults alike. Making ‘play’ and experimentation organizing p
 rinciples for yoga practice is the passion that ties all the other threads
  of his work together.\n\nMichael has been leading Yoga at Epilepsy Toront
 o for several years now\, and since the spring\, has been leading our week
 ly Mindful Mondays program.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
