About
Niamh Moloney & Marnie Hartman
Pain Science Yoga Life is a collaboration between kindred spirits Niamh Moloney and Marnie Hartman. A chance meeting at a pain conference in 2010 saw the beginning of a decade long friendship and conversation about pain care. A shared vision of the 'container' yoga can provide for the multiple dimensions of pain and its care led to the development of Pain Science Yoga Life and an aspiration to inspire yoga and health professionals as well as those suffering from pain to use pain science and yoga to walk the bridge from pain and suffering back to life.
