Happy October! We have just the thing to get you in the autumnal mood. The last time we had a sound bath, there were about 20 of us, and after the last chime sounded, there was silence. You feel a sense of elation, relaxation, and grounding, all at the same time. All you have to do is lay there!!! Bring comfortable clothes, and maybe a blanket or pillow. For a quick scientific perspective you can read this study from the NIH. “Heart disease, diabetes, addiction, and mental health issues have all been linked to stress and tension.1–6 Meditation, including systems such as mindfulness-based meditations, has shown promise in inducing the relaxation response and helping alleviate anxiety and improve well-being.7,8 The relaxation response is the body’s physiological response in relaxation, including lowered blood pressure to counter the fight-or-flight response and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.9–11 As promising as mindfulness and other meditation systems may be, a common complaint is the time, patience, and discipline required to learn meditation. Thus, a form of relaxation and stress relief that does not require a steep learning curve or a great deal of discipline to utilize could potentially be a huge benefit to human wellness and health.” Our online booking is in full swing! It has been fun as trainers to see new faces in class, and the classes are full! If you have any challenges, just send us an email, and we will do our best to help you out. If you book your next class when you leave the studio, your always assured your place in class. You can book up to 4 months out. So if you leave class on October 10, when you get to your car, you can book up to the February 10th class. Workshops coming to the studio include: Roller workshop: What exactly can I do with this thing besides hide it behind the couch? Shoulders: We are partnering with Mitchell Holistic Health to bring you a workshop on your shoulders. What exactly does the pain mean in certain positions? What can you push through as opossed to letting it rest and recover. Times and dates are not set yet, but will be in your inbox asap! If there are any other body related classes you would like to see, please send me your ideas! I always get requests for a stretch class…I have not ignored you I promise.
In case you have not tried this yet….It is delicous and fun! I have brought in some squash from my garden that I used for the recipe, so please help yourself! It has more of a spaghetti squash texture than pumpkin and is quite delicous! |
