*************** Self Acceptance Through Kripalu Yoga A Gentle Re-awakening of the Mind with a Soft Embrace Of Your Body A Two Day Workshop for Women Dealing with Body Image Issues and other Disordered Eating Issues All Shapes and Sizes Welcomed and encouraged! Facilitated by Veronica Sherwood, About the Workshop As women, from our early days of puberty, we may have become aware that the shape, size and changing contours of our bodies could determine our roles in both our families and societies. The seeds for potential self esteem issues, struggles with weight and body image, were sewn. However, through the practice Kripalu Yoga we can overcome the hurdles that often hide feelings associated with anger, regret and perhaps even shame. This interactive two-day workshop will combine gentle Kripalu yoga (suitable for both beginners and the experienced) with supportive, non-judgmental activities in a warm setting over-looking the sea. Creativity, play, music and sharing of stories will also enhance your experience. The theme and tone of the workshop is built on self acceptance and self care incorporating the following values: Come Just as You Are Self Observation Without Judgment Gently Pulling Back the Layers to Find Your Authentic Self Breaking the Cycle of Obsession and Compulsion Through Breath Creating a About the Workshop Facilitator “For centuries women have gathered and shared stories. This workshop will provide an opportunity for anyone dealing with the stress and self judgment related to body image and opportunity to begin to break free. Through the use of gentle Kripalu Yoga we will start down the road of accepting ourselves and appreciating our bodies – at any size or age. In addition, we as women need to take time to create, to laugh, to listen. We are whole: body, mind and spirit. We will celebrate all of these our time together.” Cost: $130 Date: Fall 2010, 8:30-3pm both days ************************ The Reiki Level I attunement enables you to become a practitioner and share the gift of Reiki with your family, friends, pets etc. while also clearing blockages you may have in your own body. Clearing these blockages allows the Universal Life Force energy (often referred to as ki, chi, or prana) to flow freely which can be very healing in its own right. Aside from assisting others in their healing process another great thing about being a Reiki Practitioner is that every time you are giving a treatment, you are also receiving a treatment. Certified Reiki Master/Teacher Brad L. Surette would be honoured to pass along the gift of giving and receiving Reiki to you.
