February 

 


Dear Greetings! 
About a year ago, after teaching a yoga class in New York City. I was approached by an extraordinary young man named Justin Hakuta. He introduced himself and with a radiant glow, expressed sincere gratitude for his first Forrest Yoga experience. It turns out that Justin, a Carnegie Mellon University graduate and Fulbright Scholar has worked with various eco & socially conscious companies including Honest Tea,  Seventh Generation and Patagonia and also spent time in the Philippines studying indigenous healing practices. At the time when we met he was taking time off from Harvard Business School to launch  Avacara.

 

Avacara, founded by Justin Hakuta and Rajit Patel, is "a website that works to increase accessibility to health & wellness information and resources with a specific focus on featuring gifted healers, promoting their work and providing their recommendations on eco and socially conscious products and services that can help support a healthy lifestyle." Avacara embraces living smart, as in living smarter, happier, healthier lives which is well aligned with our values at Ambrosia Lifestyle. So naturally when Justin asked me to get involved I said "yes".

 

We as holistic health educators and healers strive to bring an abundance of resources, skills and services to strengthen the health and vitality of this planet and its communities. It gives me tremendous pleasure to introduce the launch of Avacara. Working, as a health consultant, with Avacara over this past year has been such a learning experience. It has asked me to reflect on my own personal journey into the integrative health community and my unyielding commitment to it.  

 

Please take a moment to read my interview with Avacara and help us celebrate the abundance of wellness on its site:  Up Close with Liza Pitsirilos-Founder of Ambrosia Lifestyle

Unraveling the Mysteries of the Hips, Neck & Shoulders
 

Therapeutic, All Levels 

Your hips connect your legs to your core, and your legs stand on the ground, keeping you "grounded."  When the hips are locked or clogged, it inhibits your ability to connect with the depths of your first and second charkas, cuts you off from the deep wisdom and creative energy that lies there, and also disconnects you from the earth.  Forrest Yoga is an inspiring method that asks you to go deeper, feeling for what mysteries, treasures, and truths are yet to be uncovered in your hips...

"
The way we resist not only life's difficulties
but also life's potential sweetness
is one of the most puzzling paradoxes of the human organism.
 It's the subtle tendency to hold back
 from anything that changes the balance in our lives."
