Special Programs



Upcoming Workshop:


Happy Feet: An Introduction To Reflexology
with guest teacher Caren Patterson, RYT


Date:          Sunday, August 8, 2010
Time:          3 - 6 pm
Cost:           $55 ($45 if paid by July 31st)

Support your journey of self-care, and learn a delightful practice you can share with clients, family or friends, by exploring the ancient art of Reflexology. Learning how to use skillful pressure to specific points in the feet can help you maintain a healthy balance of all your body’s systems. Relaxing and stress-reducing, reflexology is widely used for preventive care or in response to health challenges. It supports balance, relaxation and well-being, and can even be used to help alleviate headaches, reduce arthritic and back pain, ease premenstrual discomforts, and help with digestive issues. 

This workshop will include an overview of reflexology; a “map” of the foot & how it mirrors the body; an introduction to basic techniques; instructions for self-reflexology; sharing techniques; and more.

Appropriate for Yoga & Pilates instructors, Personal Trainers, Bodyworkers, students, and anyone interested in learning this ancient healing practice. No prior experience required.

Monthly Meditation Circle
Sunday evenings, once monthly, 7:00-8:00 pm

Various instructors
FREE - Beginners welcome!

(No fee will be set for this program.  As is customary in Meditation centers, donations are appreciated.)

Meditation has become increasingly popular as a means to reduce stress and take a quiet "time out" from our busy lives to be still, look inward, and gain some perspective on our thoughts and feelings.

Please join us for our first Meditation Circle. In the supportive embrace of the group, we will practice various forms of meditation. We plan to meet once a month to "sit" together and learn from each other, in a contemplative community. Appropriate for beginners as well as experienced meditators.

Please arrive a few minutes early so that we can start on time.

Women's Yoga Freedom Within

TUESDAY EVENINGS
8:15-9:15 pm

COST:     $15 drop-in


At last, a class just for women. A class where women can feel completely comfortable to move, laugh, let loose, go deep. A class where women can join with other women in a profoundly honoring yoga practice that invites graceful, easeful and fluid movement to strengthen, stretch and release. A class where women can celebrate their own unique inner rhythm and voice.

In this new, for-women-only class, Carol Berlin, registered yoga teacher, guides women through relaxing and invigorating breathing exercises, inspiring meditations, delicious warm-ups, and a flowing yoga class to music you'll want to move to. The class includes creative variations on the Sun and Moon Salutation, and an eclectic mix of basic and intriguing yoga poses that invite the body to move in natural, easeful ways. Each class ends with relaxation time that will leave you feeling what Audrey Hepburn captured so perfectly when she said, "People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed, and redeemed, and redeemed."


This Level 1-2 class is appropriate for women with some yoga experience.

So come, bring a friend, and be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed!


Complimentary First Class!
