Transformational Breathing

Transformational Breathing is an easy-to-learn technique that is a powerful healing modality for the body, mind and spirit. Transformational Breathing may help reduce stress in your life, increase energy and creativity, help with addictive patterns, increase your metabolism, improve mental and emotional clarity, help you to experience more joy in your life, integrate suppressed/repressed emotions, increase efficiency of your body, resolve childhood traumas, and detoxify and help to heal in your body. Bring a yoga mat, water and two pillows. (Note: This class will be held off-site at instructor’s yoga studio located in Egg Harbor Township.)

Energy Healing Work (Reiki and Chakra Healing)

When a person feels unbalanced physically, emotionally, or mentally, Energy Work aids to restore and realign the body’s subtle vibrations. Two favorite modalities to accomplish this are Reiki and Chakra Healing.

This workshop is an introduction to both Reiki and Chakra Healing and will provide you with a Chakra Balancing and experience with Reiki Energy.

The word Reiki may be translated as “universal life energy.” The Usui System works with Reiki for healing oneself or others. Reiki practitioners place their hands on, or over, the part of the body that needs balancing and channels energy into the body. This may be felt as a temperature change or tingling, or just deep relaxation. Chakras are the circular vortexes of energy located in seven different points on the spinal column. All seven chakras are connected to various organs and glands within the body. Chakra Healing balances these seven chakras by bringing the body and emotions into balance.

Nutrition and a Holistic Lifestyle

With all of the health issues and toxins in our environment, how does one stay healthy and happy in today’s world? In this class, you will learn about DNA, blood type diet possibilities and mycotoxins. You will also discuss the use of vitamins and what they have to do with our health. (Note: This class will be held off-site at instructor’s yoga studio located in Egg Harbor Township.)

Kripalu Yoga and Meditation

Kripalu Yoga is the “Yoga of Compassion.” It begins with understanding your body and how you can comfortably bring your body into each pose. It also encourages inward focus and spiritual attunement. Practicing Kripalu Yoga may initiate a gradual process of physical healing, psychological growth and spiritual awakening. This workshop is appropriate for all levels. Join us as we practice short meditations. Please bring a yoga mat, water and a small towel. (Note: This class will be held off-site at instructor’s yoga studio located in Egg Harbor Township.)
