Hooping with HoopBeats(TM)
hoopbeats logoHooping is way more fun than the hula hooping you remember as a child, because the bigger and heavier the hoop, the slower it rotates around your body. This means that even if you think you can't hoop, with one of these hoops, you can! Everybody can hoop, regardless of age, size, or sense of rhythm. The rotation of these larger hoops is slow enough that even clumsy amateurs can keep the hoop going - and it's not too hard to get into dancing and even doing tricks.  http://www.hooping.org

Greetings!

"Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow." - Swami Satyananda Saraswati

At the gate of transformation we stand; bidding farewell to the folly of youth and gathering the wisdom we've earned; bravely stepping forth into the rest of our lives. Like the butterfly, we shed our cocoon and metamorphosis into a whole being charged with power to shape what is to come.

In this workshop we will explore this important passage through self exploration, meditation, visualization, yoga and breath-work designed to ease the pangs of growth and powerfully move us forward, creating the rest of our lives.

Fitness and Nutrition Tools for Graceful Aging
with Holistic Nutritionist Shannon Morehouse and
Certified Exercise Physiologist Becca Sandahl
Sunday October 10, 11:30-3:30pm, $80
details & registration

At the age of 45 and beyond, it becomes more important than ever for a woman to prioritize her health and well being. Conditions that often inflict women once they reach menopause include arthritis, osteoporosis, weight gain and heart disease. Fortunately for you, masters-prepared certified holistic nutritionist and health scientist Shannon Morehouse and masters-prepared clinical exercise physiologist and personal trainer Becca Sandahl have collaborated creating a powerful yet feasible program to help women from the ages of 45 to 65 to prevent or address the aforementioned conditions.

Join Shannon and Becca for this four hour mini retreat. They will begin by providing nutrition recommendations and guiding you through exercises that will help you attain excellent bone health. You will break for a light and delicious bone-boosting and heart protecting lunch (that includes a dessert) and then Shannon and Becca will address how to protect your heart and lose weight through nutrition and fitness. The fitness routines you learn will be easy to apply to your daily life and the food recommendations you receive will be realistic enough to incorporate into your life no matter how hectic your schedule is. You will leave each session with helpful handouts, recipes and inspiration. All fitness levels welcome!!!

Yoga for Menopause and More:
Peri menopause, Post menopause, Aging, Menstrual Difficulties and Womens Health with Theresa Rowland
Sunday October 4, 1 4pm, $55
Details and registration

Yoga for Menopause is actually yoga for all women. At one point we all need help navigating the disturbances brought on by hormonal shifts and the aging process. Although the map is different at each stage for each one of us, there are guidelines which are helpful to all of us. It is never too early, or too late, to learn how to take care of yourself with yoga.

In this workshop you will learn about menopause and practice specific postures designed to relieve symptoms such as short periods, cramping, anxiety, depression, insomnia, hot flashes, headaches, weight gain and fatigue. Many of these yoga techniques are, by nature, expansive, cooling and restful. We will share our stories, support each other, and practice the gifts that yoga offers to women.

Introduced to yoga by her mother, Ms. Rowland went on to study with BKS Iyengar, his family and senior instructors. She is now the inspiration for yoga students and yoga teachers throughout New Jersey and the metropolitan area, teaching everything from beginners, to therapeutics, to Iyengar Yoga Teacher Education. An accomplished gymnast, Ms. Rowland pursued a degree in Therapeutic Recreation with a specialty in Movement Therapy. She brings her many years of experience and insight and continuing study to her role as Director of Studio Yoga; helping students to relax, exercise and focus within.
