Qi Gong with Dea Daniels
Saturday, March 3rd, 9:30AM - 11:00AM
$20.00
Qi gong is a powerful system of healing and energy medicine from China. It is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement, and focus to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy (qi). Qigong practice leads to better health... and vitality and a tranquil state of mind.
It is graceful, gentle, relaxed, slow, and fluid, like a slow- motion dance. It is a whole body, whole mind exercise. It treats health systemically, restoring the body to its original "program", uncorrupted by stress, pollution, and disease.
Qi gong teaches us how to respond to stress so that life events do not cause such symptoms as high blood pressure, frustration, or anxiety. It can help to restore physical health. Healthy people practice qigong to become super-healthy. Healers use qigong to prevent "healer burn-out" and to maintain a positive presence.
Please call Dea Daniels with any questions. 917-846-3854.

Exploring Intention: Bring Your Practice to Life
with Cheryl LeClair ERYT200 and iRest® Instructor
Saturday, April 14th, 9:30am - 4:00pm
$100.00
Yoga and Intention
The American Heritage Dictionary defines intention as “a course of action one intends to follow; an aim that guides action; an objective.” We are asked to set an intention, also called sankalpa, or hear...tfelt desire, in every yoga class. Yet we often lack clarity on our intention for ourselves. Intention is a powerful tool in our practice.
Discover and Define
Knowing where we are. Only then can we design a strategy of where we want to be. With the need for transformation in the world there has never been a more important time to dream and set your intention.
We will explore intention through discussion, asana practice, iRest® yoga nidra. A portion of the workshop is dedicated to thoughtful reflection of intention through the process of creating and crafting a vision board that uniquely expresses your heart felt desires. Bring transformation and power to your practice
A light, healthy lunch will be served to provide time for sharing and fellowship.
This workshop is suitable for all yoga practitioners. No art experience necessary. All workshop and project materials are included as well as lunch and snacks.
This workshop is limited to 10 participants. Please pay in advance to reserve your spot for this workshop. Call 910-325-3600 to register.
