I really enjoyed the candlelight community class last Sunday and am hoping to make the new Friday 6-7pm class a regular one for my practice. It seems like a great way to end the work week.

I'm also looking forward to the 2nd yoga for runners workshop this Saturday.

I am so bummed to miss Saturday's workshop! Releasing tight hips is SO what I need to learn, but we'll be out of town.

They are in need of ALL SORTS of art supplies.....from the well known supplies like glue, paint, brushes, and canvases, to things like tissue boxes, magazines, buttons, yarn, string, wire, beads, you name it! The possibilities are endless as their art classes are everything from painting to jewelry making to decoupage.

Namaste Dear Friends,

We hope you know that we offer yoga classes seven days a week! Do you know that we also offer various healing modalities at Shakti? Here are a few:

ABHYANGA/SHIRODHARA
Abhyanga is a classical Ayurvedic treatment for pacifying Vata (dryness, anxiety). It is a gentle massage; the focus being to apply warm oil to the whole body, with particular attention paid to the marma points (similar to acupressure points) to balance the energy in the body. Abhyanga has been used for thousands of years in India to help maintain overall health and increase longevity. It lubricates and increases flexibility of the muscles, tissues, and joints and helps to achieve a restful night’s sleep.
Shirodhara is another classical Ayurvedic treatment for calming the mind. It consists of pouring warm oil on the forehead, which then goes into the scalp and creates a deep sense of relaxation in the mind and nervous system. This enables self-healing by bringing the body and mind into balance. It is extremely effective for eliminating stress, regulating the mood, and releasing stored emotions, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, allergies, neck pain, arthritis, and stiffness.

Please wear clothing that you don't mind if it gets oily, and bring something to wrap your hair and head in after (which will be full of oil). It's best to leave the oil in over night, if possible (you can put an old towel over your pillow and keep your hair wrapped). Plan to have a relaxing day or evening at home after this powerful treatment and drink plenty of warm water after.

Rates: 60 minutes $85 ~ 90 Minutes $125 (add 7% sales tax)
To Schedule: contact Maria Tabone

QIGONG MERIDIAN THERAPY (QMT)
Qigong Meridian Therapy (QMT) is an "energy tune-up" which increases "vital energy" (Qi) and stimulates the body's own innate healing ability. Executed fully clothed on a table using special hand techniques on the body focusing on meridians and acupoints, this work is very stimulating, relaxing and deep. Sessions are given fully clothed on a massage table. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
Rates: 30 minutes $45 ~ 60 minutes $80 ~ 90 minutes $120 (add 7% sales tax)
Harmony Series: 3/30 minute sessions $120 ~ 3/60 minute sessions $225
To Schedule: contact Debra Bernath

REIKI ENERGY HEALING
The Reiki healing technique originated in Japan in the 19th century and has since spread throughout the entire world. It is perhaps the most widely used form of non-invasive energy healing available today. During a Reiki session, the healer places thier hands lightly on the patient’s clothed body, concentrating mostly on the major chakra areas.

Reiki is used to alleviate emotional, mental, as well as physical ailments, treating the body as a whole. During a session it is not uncommon for buried emotions to surface, the release of which facilitates the healing process. The Reiki energy balances the chakras, cleanses the meridians, and brings about a deep sense of well-being. It is highly successful at reducing stress and is frequently used in conjunction with various allopathic treatments. During the hands-on portion of the session, the healer often receives intuitive information from the client, and this is shared at the conclusion of the session.
Rates: 60 minutes $88, 3/60 minute sessions $249 ($15 savings), longer sessions also available
To Schedule: contact Judie Hurtado (includes angel card reading) or Zintis

THAI YOGA BODYWORK
The art of Traditional Thai Massage (also called Thai Yoga Bodyowrk) is an ancient and sacred system of healing with roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. Combining rhythmic compression, gentle rocking, acupressure on Sen Lines (energy pathways) and assisted yoga like stretching, it creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well being, and stimulates the flow of healing energies within the body. The session is done fully clothed on a mat on the floor. Please wear comfortable clothing.
Rates: 90 minutes $125 (add 7% sales tax)
To Schedule: contact Anna Winkler or Debra Bernath

You need to contact the practitioner directly in order to schedule a session. You can read more about them here: http://www.shaktinj.com/healingarts.php


We hope to see you soon. Namaste.

Dear Friends, We are very excited to be hosting three amazing events at Shakti this weekend. We do ask that you Register in advance. Plus, you save money grin


YOGA FOR RUNNERS Strengthen the Core ~ with Emily Ramos
Saturday, September 19, 1-3pm ~ $25 prepaid, $35 day of

http://www.shaktinj.com/workshops.php#YogaForRunners

Incorporate Yoga into your Running Routine! No prior yoga experience necessary.

A physical yoga practice not only develops mind-body connection, increases flexibility, and builds breath awareness and lung capacity; it also strengthens those all-important (and often neglected) core muscles. Our core (chest, abdominals, obliques, hips and back) is our power center; the strength in our limbs stems from the strength in our core. Improving core strength ensures that we are more stable, balanced and efficient in our running.


DISCOVER YOUR HERBAL PHARMACY ~ with Maria Tabone, MA, Certified Ayurveda Nutritionist, Holistic Health Educator, Author, Registered Yoga Teacher and Healing Foods Chef

http://www.shaktinj.com/workshops.php#HerbalPharmacy

Sunday, September 20, 3-4:30pm ~ $15
Questions: (646) 306-0533, maria@theholisticroot.com, or www.theholisticroot.com.


Nature provides us with a pharmacy for every condition. Maria will teach you how to manage colds, the flu, headaches, migraines, anxiety, depression, arthritis, muscle and joint pain, improve digestion, treat burns and cuts and boost your immune system with herbs. She will also share recipes to make your own immune boosting foods!


FALL EQUINOX PLANETARY GONG MEDITATION ~ with Maren Good and Michael Ungar

http://www.shaktinj.com/workshops.php#GongMeditation

Sunday, September 20, 7-8pm ~ $20 prepaid, $25 at the door

A gong meditation is a sonic invitation to connect our world with the larger world and offers a moment to experience a greater sense of place in our cosmic home ... a cosmos that at its core is a harmonic and musical universe.


The Planetary gongs represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. Planet Gongs resonate harmonically with the cycles of the cosmos, communicating to us the Music of the Spheres. When sounded, we physically connect to their strength and power. The gongs resonate at a primal, archetypal level.


These beautifully crafted gongs are therapeutic works of art and alchemy and strike a resonance deep within us, drawing forth our own music. They are here to remind us that we are a microcosm reflecting and resonating with the macrocosm. All of their rich and beautiful tones reside within us and can draw us into a deep sense of peace, touching the most profound part of ourselves.


Please Register in advance for any or all of these workshops. We look forward to seeing you!

Namaste.



Om Shanti,
