Stop Choose Change: Surviving and Thriving Tough Times (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781544900001)

Diana Cushway is a professor in the Kinesiology, Dance and Athletics Department at Skyline College in San Bruno, California. As the former head of Skyline's Dance Department, she expanded faculty and curriculum in addition to producing sold out concerts. She was an early advocate of incorporating mindfulness and breath practice into her classroom to help her students deal with stress. Her success in this endeavor led her to develop a stress management curriculum and teach classes at the college level. Diana has been a California Arts Council Grant recipient in Bay Area schools, a guest artist throughout the US, and a dancer and/or choreographer for many Bay Area modern dance companies. In remission after surviving two simultaneous cancer diagnoses, she currently lives (surviving and thriving) in San Francisco with her husband, Bill, and her one cat, Butterflopper.
