Sunday, April 29, 2012-Day of Mindfulness     10:00 AM-4:00 PM

Learn the art and science of meditation.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an 8-week intensive program designed to transform the way you relate to stress.  Through the practice of cultivating awareness and relaxation, you will learn ways to mobilize your inner resources for coping and healing.

Our program is based on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.  MBSR is highly regarded for making mindfulness meditation accessible for people from all walks of life.  Scientific studies have shown the MBSR program to decrease psychological and physical pain and discomfort and improve the overall quality of life for participants. 

Dr. Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness as an approach to life based on the understanding that: "the present is the only time that any of us have to be alive - to know anything - to perceive - to learn - to act - to change - to heal."

This class includes guided mindfulness meditation instruction, gentle stretching and yoga, discussion, daily home practice, and a personal consultation with an instructor.

Sundays, January 15-March 4 (except Feb. 19),  3:00 PM – 5:00 PM  
Sunday, February 19,  10:00 AM – 4:00 PM /A Day of Mindfulness

Participants will benefit most by reading and listening to the materials and meditating 30-45 minutes a day.

Practicing yoga as an art form involves more than practicing asana in a technically precise way to solve a problem.  Yoga as art brings one closer to the material that is our body, breath and mind. Thus the outcome is more than utilitarian, but more a creative expression from inside that is both emotionally satisfying and deeply centering.

The yogis believe that this way of practicing involves the energy body and can take place through working with the breath.  The effect, then, takes place at a different level than muscle and bone but involves one's whole being. 

Join Amanda, the Director of LHAA’s Yoga Teacher Training program as she guides you through a practice of simple asana done in this deeper way.  Learn to tap into your energy body and experience the increased awareness of and trust in your body’s ability to heal and thrive.

Expect to leave feeling open, refreshed and revitalized!

This course helps you:

• BodyRead™ your client’s postural and movement patterns with greater accuracy and integration
• Gain access to effective treatment strategies for resolving postural distortions, which may occur some distance from the site of pain or limitation
• Enable you to make distinct changes in your clients’ structure in a few short moves

Course Objectives:

• Understand basic properties and connected nature of fascia
• A succinct and relevant introduction to geometry/character of the connective tissue, and the topology of fascial planes
• Be able to identify and trace the 6 major and 6 supplemental fascial meridians along which movement,
  tension, and postural distortion travel

Join International Instructor Marjorie Brook for a two day seminar on FAST Therapy w/ AIS– for the Lower Body

F.A.S.T. (Flexibility and Strength Training) Therapy is a comprehensive approach designed to help a person achieve and maintain balance and well being. The human body is beautifully complex. Many factors affect how it functions and each of these factors, mental, emotional, and physical, need to recognized and addressed.  Special emphasis is put on Body Mechanics for both the Practitioner and the client throughout the hands on portions of the course. The manual part of the therapy follows the principles of Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening (AIS). AIS is a dynamic flexibility system based on fundamental movements of joints, ligaments and muscles. Paying attention to how the body is designed to function is the key.  AIS is an intricate form of stretching that works with the body, not against it.

What You'll Learn in this Course:

• Assess the your clients range of motion limitations
• Isolate and stretch individual muscle of the Lower Body for your clients and yourself
• Re-establish muscular balance with restored joint range of motion
• Increase stability through increased strength
• Apply these techniques to assist recovery from disease, disorders and injury
• Client Communication to create individualized cues
• Use proper body mechanics for you and your clients
• Understanding of emotional restrictions and how to work with your clients
• Empower your clients to stretch themselves
• Gain awareness of the effects of fascia and its importance to our well being
