Dr. Eleanor Criswell-Hanna

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to Eleanor's family and loved ones, may Elenore be in the grace of the angels and forever lasting light

Thank you Eleanor for loving Pernell and taking such good care of him throughout his cancer journey. I very clearly remember that in 2000 when he and I had lunch with him at Coogie's, he said, "She wasn't my first love, but she will be my last" and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share that with you personally. Your gentle spirit was exactly what he needed. I also want to thank you for opening your home to me (in Malibu) when I was in Calif and always making me feel so welcome when he would...

It´s been a year and you are still my mentor. I´m still learning from you! I´m so grateful and fortunate to have had you in my life and still now and forever.xo

Eleanor was my guardian angel for three semesters at Sonoma State as I was completing my BA (1980-1982). She saw something in me and helped me to design as much independent study as possible, allowing me to pursue my interests in the intersection of ontology, psychology, and the body. She was always full of dignity, grace, and strength. Very kind. Very private. I just found out she had made her transition last year. I was attempting to get in touch with her to send her a copy of a book...

I just learned the sad news of Eleanor´s passing today& I am so sad & shocked. I had appointments with once a week which kept my broken body working. I miss her so much! I´m sending my best thoughts and condolences to her family & friends.

Thank you for inspiring/guiding me toward realizing my higher Self, mentoring me through my MA program, inviting me with the honor and privilege to teach Psychology of Yoga...Thank you for seeing me before I could see myself, Eleanor...May you fly freely into the infinite beyond & I will look forward to hearing your whispers to my heart...

Because of Eleanor : Somatic Yoga on the Beach.

Eleanor was one of the most remarkable women I have ever known. She was not only brilliant, but also wise and humble, and a true healer...of humans and non-humans alike. She was such a bright light in this world. Her presence will be sorely missed.
