SUMMARY:iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Group Beginning November 1st! \nThursday evenings\, 7 – 8:30pm \n8-week session ending on December 27th\, 2018\nNo class on Thanksgiving \nCost: $150\n$125 if registered before October 25th\nEnter code SAVE at checkout \n \niRest® Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation developed by Richard Miller\, PhD. This practice merges the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra meditation\, translated as “Sleep of the Yogi\,” within the psychological framework of the Western mind. This trauma-informed practice will usher you through 10 levels of consciousness presented one step at a time in order to develop safe and intentional familiarity with your internal landscape.  The end result can be an experience of joy\, inner resource for aid in exploring difficult sensations\, increased body awareness\, exploration of thoughts/emotions/beliefs and conjuring a relationship to your heart’s desire in life. \nMy personal experience with iRest® has ushered in a period of transformation in how I communicate and view relationships in life\, not only with myself but with those I cherish.  I am beyond excited to share this form of mediation and its philosophies with the  community. \nIf you have any questions feel free to contact me at the email link below. \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Arlene Faulk \nTuesdays\, 4:15pm to 5:15pm \nThis class is for students with at least one year of Tai Chi experience and knowledge of the short Yang style form by Cheng Man-ching. \nArlene Faulk\n \nTai Chi has transformed my life. I spent my first year seated in a chair\, doing Tai Chi moves as best as I could. Very slowly I learned to walk again through the practice of the slow\, deliberate walk that Tai Chi teaches. \nIn my published book\, Walking on Pins and Needles: A Memoir of Chronic Resilience in the Face of Multiple Sclerosis\, I tell my dramatic  personal story of experiencing years of debilitating symptoms as I ascended the corporate ladder\, landed on my couch for two years\, then moved through a zig-zag path to find comfort and healing through Chinese medicine and Tai Chi.  \nTai Chi was my guide in managing pain\, increasing  overall balance\, strength and learning how to relax. Through the practice I discovered my calling and have been teaching Tai Chi for over 20 years. \nI teach my students what continues to be life-enhancing for me: Tai Chi is not about trying harder; it’s about letting go\, being in the moment\, feeling balance and the fluidity of energy. \n312.642.0722 | Email | Website

SUMMARY:The Extended Meridian System of Zen Shiatsu
DESCRIPTION:September 19 – November 14 ~ ~ 6:00PM – 9:00 PM (no class 10/31)\nWednesday evenings at Heartwood\nMERIDIANS ARE FOUND AND CLEARLY FELT WITH SENSITIVE HANDS AND HEART \nMeridians form the foundation for what we do\, both in theory and practice. Do you sometimes wish you knew for sure that you were really in those channels when you touch them? Would you like to feel secure enough to trust that you found specific points? Might there be a more reliable way of learning locations than memorizing anatomical landmarks? \nIf you are answering “yes” to these questions . . . then it must be time to leave these doubts and difficulties behind! By learning to feel the individual character of each meridian\, we can identify the pathways by simply utilizing our developed sense of touch. \nIn this course\, we will: \n\nDiscover how to locate meridians and points\nUse your innately responsive\, intuitive (and all together remarkable!) sense of touch\nLearn some missing information that makes it so much easier to feel what you’re looking for\nConsult meridian charts like we do maps – to get an idea of the “landscape” of meridian pathways.\nPalpate meridians as though we were following a trail – by literally entering into channel “territory” (with our thumbs) and experiencing it through our senses\, especially our sense of touch.\n\nThis course will cover: \n\nMeridian extensions used in Dr. Shizuto Masunaga’s Zen Shiatsu technique\nHow to access them in supine\, prone and lateral recumbent positions\nNew techniques for opening joints and meridian flow\n\nFor more information and to register\, click HERE. \n[display-posts post_type=”practitioners” include_content=”true” display-posts wrapper=”div” image_size=”full” id=”15803″ order=”ASC” orderby=”name”]

SUMMARY:Tai Chi - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Arlene Faulk \nTuesdays\, 4:15pm to 5:15pm \nThis class is for students with at least one year of Tai Chi experience and knowledge of the short Yang style form by Cheng Man-ching. \nArlene Faulk\n \nTai Chi has transformed my life. I spent my first year seated in a chair\, doing Tai Chi moves as best as I could. Very slowly I learned to walk again through the practice of the slow\, deliberate walk that Tai Chi teaches. \nIn my published book\, Walking on Pins and Needles: A Memoir of Chronic Resilience in the Face of Multiple Sclerosis\, I tell my dramatic  personal story of experiencing years of debilitating symptoms as I ascended the corporate ladder\, landed on my couch for two years\, then moved through a zig-zag path to find comfort and healing through Chinese medicine and Tai Chi.  \nTai Chi was my guide in managing pain\, increasing  overall balance\, strength and learning how to relax. Through the practice I discovered my calling and have been teaching Tai Chi for over 20 years. \nI teach my students what continues to be life-enhancing for me: Tai Chi is not about trying harder; it’s about letting go\, being in the moment\, feeling balance and the fluidity of energy. \n312.642.0722 | Email | Website

DESCRIPTION:September 19 – November 14 ~ ~ 6:00PM – 9:00 PM (no class 10/31)\nWednesday evenings at Heartwood\nMERIDIANS ARE FOUND AND CLEARLY FELT WITH SENSITIVE HANDS AND HEART \nMeridians form the foundation for what we do\, both in theory and practice. Do you sometimes wish you knew for sure that you were really in those channels when you touch them? Would you like to feel secure enough to trust that you found specific points? Might there be a more reliable way of learning locations than memorizing anatomical landmarks? \nIf you are answering “yes” to these questions . . . then it must be time to leave these doubts and difficulties behind! By learning to feel the individual character of each meridian\, we can identify the pathways by simply utilizing our developed sense of touch. \nIn this course\, we will: \n\nDiscover how to locate meridians and points\nUse your innately responsive\, intuitive (and all together remarkable!) sense of touch\nLearn some missing information that makes it so much easier to feel what you’re looking for\nConsult meridian charts like we do maps – to get an idea of the “landscape” of meridian pathways.\nPalpate meridians as though we were following a trail – by literally entering into channel “territory” (with our thumbs) and experiencing it through our senses\, especially our sense of touch.\n\nThis course will cover: \n\nMeridian extensions used in Dr. Shizuto Masunaga’s Zen Shiatsu technique\nHow to access them in supine\, prone and lateral recumbent positions\nNew techniques for opening joints and meridian flow\n\nFor more information and to register\, click HERE. \n[display-posts post_type=”practitioners” include_content=”true” display-posts wrapper=”div” image_size=”full” id=”15803″ order=”ASC” orderby=”name”]

SUMMARY:iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Group Beginning November 1st! \nThursday evenings\, 7 – 8:30pm \n8-week session ending on December 27th\, 2018\nNo class on Thanksgiving \nCost: $150\n$125 if registered before October 25th\nEnter code SAVE at checkout \n \niRest® Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation developed by Richard Miller\, PhD. This practice merges the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra meditation\, translated as “Sleep of the Yogi\,” within the psychological framework of the Western mind. This trauma-informed practice will usher you through 10 levels of consciousness presented one step at a time in order to develop safe and intentional familiarity with your internal landscape.  The end result can be an experience of joy\, inner resource for aid in exploring difficult sensations\, increased body awareness\, exploration of thoughts/emotions/beliefs and conjuring a relationship to your heart’s desire in life. \nMy personal experience with iRest® has ushered in a period of transformation in how I communicate and view relationships in life\, not only with myself but with those I cherish.  I am beyond excited to share this form of mediation and its philosophies with the  community. \nIf you have any questions feel free to contact me at the email link below. \nREGISTER HERE.
