Experience the resonating quartz bowls and toning; a powerful method of healing. Experience a two hour shamanic journey with Karin using her healing, musical, and psychic abilities. Karin uses Quartz bowls and her voice to create sound for healing. The bowls are silica quartz and resonate deeply with our bones. She studied this form of healing from a Sufi practitioner in Spain and felt guided to share it. Opening meditation, chakra clearing, energy work, grounding, and closing meditation are included in the healing. It has the potential to release blockages physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It helps relieve people of any physical and chronic pains. During the journey you will be laying down with pillows and blankets, Karin will bring you in and out of meditation, do a chakra alignment, and perform Reiki on you. Karin will do a small reading before the journey begins to see what energy you need and how you received the energy. *Caution - if you have any metal in your body you may feel a strong over sensitivity during this healing.

Location- Balance Yoga & Healing
Breathing Through: Yoga for Anxiety, Stress and Tension
Saturday March 10th 11am-1pm $40
Heightened energy, or stress, is something that we all encounter, at least at some point within our life. However, when the nervous system becomes overwhelmed and stays in the place of anxiety, the outcomes are a scattered mind, chronic pain, digestive disturbances and more. When this occurs, we must take the time to remind our body to remain in the parasympathetic nervous system; the system that revitalizes, restores and returns the body back to proper energetic homeostasis, or simply harmony. By learning a variety of yogic mindfulness, movement and breathing techniques, we can offer our nervous system a fresh start towards a mind and body that promote focus, ease and peace.
TRANCE DANCE COMES TO BALANCE YOGA!

NEW TAI CHI CLASS WITH HOWIE GOTTFRIED: THURSDAY NIGHTS 7:30PM
Tai Chi Chuan is an art that enables one to rediscover their natural flow and rhythm through movement. This class will look at the many dimensions of Yang style Tai Chi Chuan. Together, we will explore the classical 108 movement form and use it to create a strong foundation through correct structure and body alignment practices. However, Tai Chi goes far beyond forms, its real focus is on understanding the underlying energetic principles. We seek to move fluidly without hinderances, to move like water. How will we develop these principles and the fluidity of water? Through the practice of basic movements, form, qigong and two person exercises(Push Hands)we will explore many exercises, techniques and principles designed to lead one towards natural movement, qi development and flow. This system was taught to me in Shanghai, China by my teacher, Dr. Wang Zhi Xiang.
