BUILDING A RESILIENT BODY AND MIND THROUGH YOGA with Robin Rothenberg, Certified Yoga Therapist 

January 27 – 29, 2012, Zenergy Yoga Studio 

Robin invites you to discover the power of harnessing the body and mind for maximum efficiency through breath, meditation, and mindful movement. She challenges students to develop soft strength and keen awareness, achieving whole new levels of stamina, agility, and balance with greater ease.  

Friday, 5:30 – 7:00pm MOVING FROM THE INSIDE OUT (Individual rate: $45) 

Whether you’re a performance athlete or a newcomer to mind/body practices, discover the power and freedom that comes from choreographing the breath with micro-movements to release deep-seated patterns of resistance and strain. 

Saturday, 12:00 – 5:00pm POWERING DOWN (Individual rate:  $150) 

Unconscious patterns lock us into habits that can keep us stuck in the mud. Yoga is about freedom, ease, and efficiency. This series of experiential practices will help you discover new ways to move, breathe, and think that will transform those old patterns, cultivating a more energetic and resilient sense of yourself.  

Sunday, 10:00am – 12:00pm MOVING INTO SILENCE:  (Individual Class Rate:  $60) 

BREATH AND MEDITATION AS A PRACTICE Understanding the process of meditation and how it works is fundamental to feeling at home in the practice. We’ll discuss how the brain is actually wired and why it  is that certain techniques effectively entrain the mind to quiet down. Then we’ll take those concepts into practice and put them to the test.  

Sunday, 1:00 – 4:00pm INJURY PREVENTION AND HEALING THROUGH YOGA (Individual Class Rate $$90)  

Most injuries are a result of a repetitive stress pattern.  We keep doing the same thing again and again, wearing out the same body parts that have to overwork to take up the slack for those that are under-employed.  Through this workshop we’ll explore how to support the back, knees, neck, hips, and shoulders in health by recalibrating the way we move so all the parts integrate and work harmoniously with one another.

Presented by Registered Dietition Jaime Larese, Thursday, May 26, 6:00pm, Zenergy Yoga Studio

Just like a car, we all need oil changes to keep our motor's running. Furthermore, just as the season's change and we clear the clutter from our homes, we, too, should clear the clutter from our bodies. Nutritional cleanses have been on the forefront of the healthy movement and there are controversies, as well as accolades, for the myriad cleanses toted as the key to a healthy, toxin-free life. That said, cleanses are not a one-size fits all. They are dependent on a variety of factors and should accomodate to lifestyle,  and more importantly, your pocket-book. They range from small scale to large scale and do not fit into a "one-way or the highway" attitude. Discover and investigate what type of cleanse works best for you and family. Join us for a presentation and talk with Jaime Larese, a Registered Dietitian, with expertise in human nutrition, food science, and an unwavering curiosity to bring wellness to all in simple ways.
