Massage/Bodywork:
Swedish Massage - long, flowing, fluid-like strokes intended to relax superficial muscles and calm the mind
Deep Tissue Massage - deeper work which is used to break up scar tissue and relieve chronic pain.
Seated Massage - a 10 - 15 minute rejuvenation of energy and vitality; quickly taking the place of the "15 minute coffee break."
Sports Massage - Sports massage incorporates a wide variety of techniques designed to address the specific needs of athletes.
Movement Therapy - Subtle facilitated movement breaks poor patterns of movements and restores freedom of movement to joints.
Chi Nei Tsang Massage - a Chinese system of healing massage that utilizes the Five Elements of Chinese medicine and focuses on the navel center of the body, training the organs to work more efficiently.
Touch for Health - a practical guide to natural health that utilizes acupressure and massage to improve postural balance, and reduce physical and mental pain and tension. It is an approach to restoring natural energies that combines ancient Chinese energy therapies with recent Western developments in kinesiology by balancing the 14 major energy vessels of the body and their associated emotions.
Bodymirror System -Tension is stress, and stress causes symptoms. Explore the relationship between your body, your consciousness, and your life, as they are related to your seven energy centers called chakras.
Water, Water, Water: Have you ever seen a wilting house plant, kept half alive, never getting all the water it really needs to look its best? Your body is just like that plant, half wilted, so to speak if you don't drink enough pure water. Next to oxygen, water is the most important nutrient for life. Learn more about the affects of dehydration to our bodies and the resulting maladies.
Natural Breathing: Of all the life sustaining properties we require, air is the one that we can do without for the least amount of time. Learn how you can become conscious of your unhealthy breathing patterns and to integrate deep, natural, healthy breathing into your life. This course will better your life... forever!
Healing Tao:
Microcosmic Orbit: This ancient foundation for healing is the first level for anyone wanting to cultivate and refine their life-force energy (Qi). By channeling Universal, Cosmic and Earth energies, the student will learn to circulate Qi through the primary acupuncture channels of the body.
The Inner Smile: We believe that there is an attracting, healing quality that radiates from the process of smiling. By learning to create, duplicate and cultivate this same healing energy, we can direct and focus this healing energy to the organs, glands and systems within the body, and rid them of the harmful effects of stored negative emotions. A powerful, yet simple way that can be learned by anyone.
The Six Healing Sounds: A basic relaxation and self-healing technique utilizes simple arm movements and special sounds to transform negative emotion/energy into positive vitality. This practice uses color, sound and postures which result in improved digestion, reduced internal stress, reduced insomnia and headaches, and greater vitality as the Qi flow increases through the different organs.
Tree Standing Qigong (Pronounced "Chee-Gong") This particular form of qigong, Zhan Zhuang, is about four thousand years old, and is used for everything from building strength for martial arts to self-healing, lowering blood pressure, increasing respiration and alertness, reducing stress and pain, and improving health and energy overall. Eventually you expand beyond your normal limits of endurance to a highly energized state of alert tranquility.
Primordial Qigong: This simple yet powerful set of movements taps the energy of the four directions (East, West, South, North) and combines them with the Universal energy for cultivating Qi. It's the most powerful qigong form we've found. This is a wonderful formal exercise for those who are developing their Qi, but feel as though they need something more. This is it!
Essential Grounding: Taichi Qigong Correct structural alignment with, and proper grounding to the earth, provide the basis for Taichi and Qigong practice. Through essential standing postures, breathing exercises, and work on opening of the primary Yin centers (Perineum and Kidney 1 Points), a deep sense of rooting and connection with the earth is developed. Simple standing in prescribed postures develops correct structural alignment and a lower center of gravity, greatly aiding Qi flow. A MUST for ALL students of Taichi! Taichi Fundamentals: This course is without a doubt the best introduction to the art of taichi available in the area. Perfect for anyone who is considering taichi and for those who feel that their cur-rent practice could use a little extra some-thing to balance out the physical movements of their form.
Yang Simplified Taichi Form: The tai chi form is a series of slow moving exercises, performed smoothly and accurately, with the muscles as relaxed as possible, and the mind absorbed in each movement. Tai chi is practiced by millions of people who consider it to be an integral part of their everyday lives, giving robust good health, a calm stress-free mind and a flexible body. Calmness eventually pervades the whole body, leaving you less stressed and more refreshed at the end of the day.
Esoma Kungfu: "It is the philosophy of any system that holds the tactics, techniques and applications together. Without a full understanding of the subtle concepts, a martial art becomes a group of pre-defined movements, void of any true continuity. Esoma has a well defined philosophy that binds the resulting tactics to create a remarkably well formed art." - Joe Martin, Founder Center for Holistic Instruction, PLLC
