[Highland Park] Yoga and Massage at the same time!
by Bradford Mumpower 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

February and March classes have been added! For More information and to register for classes please check our new website: www.yinyogassage.com A new form of yoga practice is developing in Pittsburgh, Yin Yogassage. Yin Yogassage is a blend of a 2 hour yin yoga practice with massage. Similar to a traditional Yin Yoga practice, students will be holding a series of seated and reclining poses for longer periods of time. The goal is to gradually ease into the poses while allowing muscles to relax and the energy to release in the deep connective tissue of the hips, spine and shoulders. While in the poses, students will be receiving massage from a massage therapist, helping them release stress and tension held in the body as well as inviting them to move deeper into the poses. The practice is very quieting and grounding, allowing for a reflective, meditative experience. Class size is limited to only six students so that everyone receives personal attention during the practice.

by Emily Escalante 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi neighbors! We've rolled out the spring workshops for East End Eden, and there are some great ones to choose from (including our new partnership with Whole Foods!!!). Descriptions are below. If you'd like to register for any, please visit: http://www.eastendedenpgh.com/workshops.html *EAT RIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE *Wednesday April 18, 7-8:30 pm | $25 We are all bombarded with messages telling us to eat certain foods or not eat certain foods. Is milk an important part of a healthy diet? Low Carb? Low Fat? Organic? It's confusing. It is impossible to know what to eat. Eating right can give you energy and vitality! Let Jeff and Cindy Berkowitz, from Intuitive Holistic Health, show you how to improve your life with simple diet changes. This class will be an important first step in the right direction. Join us at East End Eden Wellness Center where we will debunk some of the myths about what foods to eat. *THE GREENER CLEANER* Saturday, April 21 10-noon | $25 Stop using toxic, harsh chemicals to clean your home. Allison Crawford, LMT will teach you how to make a variety of different natural and effective household cleaners from ingredients you already have in your kitchen. You will leave this workshop with products that you can use to run home and start your environmentally-friendly spring cleaning projects. *ENGAGING YOUR MUSE* Saturday, April 28, 10-noon | $25 Connect with your inner muse through a dialogue with images from dreams and your imagination. Various writing, movement and meditations are employed to aid in the path to each individual's creative center. Journaling is emphasized and participants will leave with a renewed awareness of their creative self. May *SIMPLE CHOICES FOR EXCELLENT HEALTH: A Whole Foods Market - Heath Starts Here Educational series* Tuesday, May 15, 6:30-7:30 pm | $15 Learn to trust yourself again! Join Whole Foods Market’s Healthy Eating Specialist & Personal Wellness Coach Mark Staley for a talk on how to make simple choices for excellent health. In this Healthy Eating series Mark will share with you information about: • The Four Pillars of Healthy Eating • The real “Facts” about Nutrition Fact Labels • Nutrient Density and how to make stronger choices • Yes, Vegetables are Protein • The Myths of Milk and Dairy • Toxic Synergy and why choice really matters and so much more…. All classes will be at East End Eden on the third Tuesday of each month. The following week at Whole Foods, Mark will lead a cooking class based on the material discussed at East End Eden. *KITCHEN COSMETICS: SUMMER-READY SKIN *Saturday May 26, 10 am | $25 Prepare your skin to glow all summer! Allison Crawford will be leading this workshop on cleansing, exfoliating, making seasonal masks and products to take home, all with things most people have in their kitchens. Please bring a bath towel and a wash cloth. We will take care of the rest. *UNDERSTANDING SOUL MATES *Wednesday, May 23rd, 7:00-9:30 pm | $25 Are you seeking your soul mate? Baffled and bewildered by your soul mate? This workshop is for you! We share a close spiritual bond with our soul mates as they resonate with our soul’s essence. Our soul mates can catapult our personal and spiritual growth, and teach us how we can unconditionally love ourselves and others. In this workshop we will: • De-mystify soul mates by examining popular myths • Understand the different kinds of soul mates • Examine the role of karma, past lives, and soul contracts• Understand the energetic basis of soul connections • Explore the metaphysical dynamics: telepathy, empathic and psychic connections, synchronicity, “mirroring,” and spiritual awakening• Learn to recognize your soul mate by common signs • Understand WHY and HOW our soul mates accelerate our spiritual growth, helping us to learn important lessons about love, life and relationships • Understand why soul mates often separate or run away • Learn how to handle the special challenges and common patterns involved in a spiritual love connection Ongoing *YOGA FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT:* Thursdays, 9:30-10:45 am and Sundays, 9:00-10:15 am $12 drop-in or buy a class pass: 4 classes for $44, or 10 classes for $100 This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from the body, breath, and mind. Through a combination of gentle stretches, restorative postures, breathing (pranayama), deep relaxation, and meditation, we gently melt stress away. This all levels class is appropriate for every body, including seniors, in addition to students who simply prefer to move at a slower pace. Individualized instruction and modifications are given to accommodate students with chronic symptoms such as muscle or joint pain, stiffness, weakness, or fatigue. *Please note that if you are suffering from major medical issues, please contact Kristie to discuss them so that she can help assess whether this class or a private session might be a better way to serve you.* **Please bring a yoga mat, pillow or bolster, and a thin blanket.** -- *e m i l y e s c a l a n t e * massage therapist www.E3MT.com + usana health sciences associate www.healthypgh.usana.com
