Dear Friends,
Happy New Year to all! At the start of the new year, many of us make healthy resolutions to exercise more, lose weight, make more time for yoga or other mindfulness practices, or simply enjoy life to the fullest. In this month’s newsletter I’m highlighting a few resources that can help keep your resolutions on track!
FREE YOGA
We’re kicking off the new year at Heart to Hearts with a free gentle yoga class this coming Monday, January 10 at 7pm. Please email me to register as space is limited. We’ll meet on Mondays from 7pm – 8pm throughout January & February at Heart to Hearts, Hamilton, NJ. Come to our free class for specials on packages of 3 or 6 classes!
Yoga for Pain Relief Workshop
I will be leading a workshop at the Center for Relaxation & Healing in Plainsboro on Sunday, January 30 from 9am – 11am. We will focus on several common physical pain patterns (such as low back, knee, and shoulder pain) and offer sequences of yoga poses to provide relief. The practice of yoga encourages proper alignment, muscle lengthening & strengthening, and relaxation of the nervous system. These benefits can all have a significant effect on pain relief. Participants are encouraged to request in advance areas of the body they’d like to have covered in the workshop. To register email Michele at the Center for Relaxation & Healing. Registration fee is $32.
In-Home Yoga Startup Package
Interested in starting a yoga practice but intimidated by the hard bodies at the gym or local studio? I’d be happy to come to your home for 5 private 1-hour sessions to help develop a practice that meets your needs and goals. I’ll offer guidance with yoga postures, breathing techniques, and meditation/relaxation exercises. This special package for new private yoga clients is only $185 when purchased by January 31, 2011. Call me at 609-306-2618 for a consultation and to schedule your sessions.
Relax & Renew Yoga Retreat – RESERVE BY JANUARY 31!
I’m ecstatic to share the news that I’ve partnered with Sewall House Yoga Retreat in Island Falls, Maine to offer a 4-night “Relax & Renew” yoga retreat from May 19 – May 23, 2011. I have visited there three times and have experienced such powerful peace and growth during my visits that I’d like to share that with all of you. Sewall House offers the relaxation benefits of a small bed-and-breakfast type getaway with skillful yoga instruction to deepen your practice and calm your mind. I’ve put together a package that includes 7 yoga classes (small setting with individual attention), home-cooked vegetarian meals, private guest room at historic Sewall House, and group transportation to Maine from central NJ for $925.
