TRAININGS IN MIND/BODY INTEGRATION:

INTRODUCTION TO POLARITY THERAPY (September 2008 - Charlottesville, VA)
This training covers polarity theory, exercises and meditations for increasing awareness and sensitivity to energy fields, and polarity bodywork. The majority of this class is experiential and covers the "general session", which addresses and balances all the elements, and the "chakra balance" session.

EXPLORING THE CHAKRAS (November & December 2008 - Charlottesville, VA) These 2-day courses offer each student the opportunity to create a safe space out of which healing and integration can occur for both themselves and those they touch. At the heart of this work are the five elements. Each element, earth, water, fire, air and ether, arise from and correspond to the first five chakras. These will be deeply explored and integrated through theory, anatomy, bodywork, yoga postures, and communication skills.

EXPLORE YOUR ELEMENTAL NATURE (March 2009 - Tulum, Mexico)
Each glorious day of this course will immerse us in one of the elements as we allow
nature’s beauty to reflect our true nature back to us.We begin making this conscious
connection each morning with gentle yoga on the beach.We sink into the sand to solidify our foundation (earth), move in synchronicity with the ebb and flow of the tide (water), let the sun infuse us with power, warmth, and light (fire), allow the breeze to become our breath and the sky our life force (air), and fully embody the harmony of nature (ether).

EMBODYING PROSPERITY (November 2008 - Charlottesville)
Feeling prosperous brings with it a complete sense of trust and well-being in your life! If you are concerned with the state of your finances or simply want to increase your prosperity, this workshop will provide you with dynamic tools for change. You will receive guidance and inspiration from the Spirit School Guides and your personal question will be answered by them.We will use bodywork techniques for embodying the truth that our deepest needs are always fulfilled and our resources are abundant.

HEALING THE HEART (Oct. 2008 - Charlottesville, VA; Jan. 2009 - Costa Rica)
This inspirational workshop provides insight and integration for the mind, body, and spirit. At the onset of this dynamic retreat we explore and release limiting thought and feelings that have kept us from living out our heart’s desires. By the end of this course, we will each fully experience the empowerment that comes from listening to our truth and following our soul’s guidance. Healing is achieved through a variety of experiential techniques such as guided meditations, intuitive exercises, journaling, gentle yoga, and integrative bodywork.

155-HOUR ASSOCIATE PRACTITIONER PROGRAM
This training consists of 7 weekends (15 days) and explores each of the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) in depth. We also cover combination sessions which affect the body systems, the 3 nervous systems,. and all triad relationships. This course delves further into polarity theory, yoga exercises, nutrition, and communication skills. We will also explore tools for accessing and enhancing our intuitive gifts.
