We'll use our Yoga Tune-Up Therapy Balls under your feet to massage and stretch the muscles and joints of the feet. You'll increase circulation and improve nerve and muscle health, as well as beginning to improve your whole body's health. If your base isn't healthy, the rest of your body will have a hard time staying healthy!

June 13 Essential Oils Lab I

In EO LAB I, we will first discover our doshas (in Ayurvedic medicine, one of the three biological humors or energies (kapha, pitta, vata) which combine in various proportions to determine individual constitution and mental and physical disorders). We'll cover the dosha properties and what me might experience when we are out of balance, then use essential oils to make dosha balancing blends. We'll use the EO blends in a few products (such as oils, salves or lotion; to be determined) to take home!

 

COST: $40 (includes EO's, product and containers)

July 11 Restorative Yoga

In restorative yoga, props are used for support the body so that you can hold poses for longer, allowing you to open your body through passive stretching. Restorative classes are usually very relaxing and are a good complement to more active practices. After you are set up in a pose with all your props, you will hold the pose for an extended period, often up to ten to twenty minutes. Although you are supported, you will definitely still feel the stretch. It's a relaxing style of practice that leaves you feeling open and refreshed. Please bring a blanket and/or wear warmer clothing as we will not be moving and you may get chilly.

 

COST: $25

July 25 Essential Oils Lab II

In EO Lab II, we'll learn more about the properties of EO's, how to use EO's safely, what their effects are and we'll create a few EO blends on our own when I show you how to blend EO's to achieve your desired effect (eg., a relaxing blend, a headache relief blend, an energizing blend). Again, we'll use our EO's to make a few products to take home!

August 22 Restore Your Pelvic Floor: The Short(er) Version

Do you pee a little (or a lot) when you sneeze or laugh? While many women do and we have come to think of this as normal and the price we pay for having childen, leaking is not normal or healthy; it indicates that there is a muscle problem, a coordination problem, a breathing problem and a central stability problem, ie. it is an indication of the state of your whole body . We'll discuss these issues, how your alignment affects these areas and how to work on fixing these issues, including the role of shoes in pelvic floor health. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was your pelvic floor problem, so we'll talk about how to modify your habits to prevent further damage. 

 

COST: $50. Includes YTU Therapy Balls and Foam Dome.
