The Yoga of Healthy Eating:
A 6-week Journey to Improving Your Nutrition and Feeding your Soul

Tuesday, September 21 to October 26
8:00pm to 9:00pm
$20 per class OR $108 for the entire series
with Lissa James, CHHC, AADP, www.SunrayWellness.com

In this 6-week series, you’ll learn about which foods you should increase (and which to decrease) to support your own health and boost your vitality.  We’ll talk about water, whole grains, mindful eating and chewing.  You’ll learn about greens, sweet & root vegetables, animal & vegetarian sources of protein.  We’ll also talk about the importance of healthy fats, foods that energize us & foods that drain us… and more!  You’ll walk away from each class with greater awareness and a sense of empowerment to better nourish yourself.  You’ll receive class handouts, delicious recipes and action steps to implement at home! 
Join us for this 6-Week class series designed to share simple and practical ways to improve your nutrition and provide you with tools for a lifetime of balance.  This approach is not about acquiring more self-discipline or willpower.  It’s about personally discovering what nourishes you, what feeds you and ultimately what makes your life extraordinary.
 
Get inspired, be challenged, step out of your own way and start taking ACTION!

The organization was created to provide free yoga to those who suffer and/or in recovery. Sprout Yoga’s mission is to create and support a national network of yoga teachers and licensed counselors who understand how yoga can play a role in healing from eating disorders.
 
Come support a great cause as well as actively develop confidence in listening to your body, bring an enhanced kinesthetic awareness to your practice, fill your thoughts with self-love, and release any self-detrimental emotions blocked or suppressed in the body.  In this workshop, expect to learn more about Sprout Yoga, experience a full-length yoga practice with interwoven insight, group interaction, visualizations, and self-exploration all utilized for enhancing one’s self-understanding and self-acceptance.

Couples Massage Therapy Workshop
 
 
Saturday, November 13
3:00pm to 6:00pm
$100 per Couple
with Steven Navarro, Certified Massage Therapist, LMBT and Founder of the Navarro Method.
RSVP Required: stevenavarro@gmail.com

Imagine if your partner massaged your shoulders for 10 minutes every evening, and really knew what they were doing. This workshop can make that a reality!  If your goal is to learn to connect with each other in a new way, to help each other with tension in your shoulders, or to learn to give a really good back rub, this workshop is where you start. In a fun and memorable 3 hour session, you and your loved one will learn easy massage tricks that will inspire you to make massage a habit every night. Daily massage with your partner will be an addictive and transformational experience.  What you will learn in the workshop:
-Anyone can do massage. There is no mystical “healing touch” that only a few of us possess.
-How professionals keep their hands from getting tired. It’s technique, not muscles.
-How to fix trigger points (you know them as “knots”). Yes, you can learn how to fix them yourselves.
-Real ways to make time to massage each other. Research shows that finding the time really is the biggest challenge.
-How to give a great back, scalp, and foot massage.
