Your Empowered Aging Journey:

Did you know that many people suffer from mild lymphatic congestion and never realize it! A healthy lymphatic system is a critical part of our immune health and our day-to-day well-being.

This transformative 3-part course will give you a greater understanding of the lymphatic system and find some tools we can use in our practice to help stimulate this system through breath, movement, and massage.

Each session focuses on different areas of the body, from the upper body to the abdomen and lower limbs. By the end of the course, you’ll have a complete flow incorporating diaphragmatic breathing, muscle contractions, and gravity to boost your immune function and overall well-being.

Imagine a three-dimensional web of silvery tissue that surrounds and penetrates every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in your body. This remarkable system - your fascial network - is the key to how you move, feel, and age. 

Yet most of us know very little about this crucial tissue that literally holds us together and keeps us moving with ease and grace.

In this illuminating workshop, join world-renowned fascia expert and "Anatomy Trains" author Tom Myers as he unveils the mysteries of your body's fascinating fascial system and shows you how to harness its incredible potential for lifelong vitality.

As we age, our fascia naturally becomes less hydrated and more rigid. This transformation isn't just about feeling stiff - it affects everything from your posture and balance to your energy levels and even your immune system function. 

The extraordinary news? These changes aren't inevitable. Through informed movement and specific yoga practices, you can maintain and even restore your fascia's youthful qualities.

Whether you're a yoga teacher, fitness enthusiast, or simply someone interested in aging gracefully, this workshop offers transformative insights into maintaining vibrant mobility throughout life. You'll leave with a new appreciation for your body's fascinating architecture and practical tools to keep your fascial system supple, responsive, and resilient at any age.

Ready to turn strength-training into a fun, enjoyable and rewarding experience that you look forward to instead of dreading? Join us for an innovative, 6-part series on Mindful Yoga for Strength Building with yoga teacher and physical therapist Giulia Pline.

If you are wondering why your thighs are starting to look like blubber when you move, look no further than to this loss of muscle mass. But the consequences of shrinking muscle mass are so much more far-reaching than just loss of your youthful, toned body. Loss of muscle mass, strength, and function is a fundamental cause of and contributor to physical limitations and, eventually, disability as we get older.

Strength building, as you likely know, is one of the best ways to counteract this process and slow or halt the loss of muscle mass. In fact, research tells us that while there may not be a fountain of youth, strength building and resistance training is the next best thing.

Each class focuses on a different body part, from the rotator cuff of the shoulders to the hamstrings, hips, knees, feet, ankles, core, and more.

These classes are designed to help you create greater support, efficiency, and resiliency throughout your body, harnessing strength and connection to your body and mind on and off the mat.

In this illuminating interview, naturopathic doctor and yoga teacher Sat Dharam Kaur shares her extensive knowledge about breast cancer prevention and treatment through a holistic approach. With over three decades of experience, she has developed a comprehensive 12-part breast health program that combines lifestyle changes, nutrition, yoga, and natural therapies.

Sat Dharam discusses alarming breast cancer statistics, noting its increasing prevalence worldwide, particularly in countries like France, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. She identifies multiple risk factors, including dietary habits (high consumption of dairy, meat, and alcohol), stress levels, environmental toxins, and hormonal imbalances. Particularly interesting is her observation about how lifestyle and cultural differences impact breast cancer rates across different countries.

Her approach to prevention and treatment is uniquely holistic, emphasizing the importance of both physical and emotional well-being. She explains how specific practices like yoga and meditation can boost immune function, reduce stress, and help maintain hormonal balance. The discussion includes practical dietary recommendations, such as incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods like flax seeds and organic soy, while reducing sugar, alcohol, and dairy intake.

What makes her work particularly compelling is her emphasis on empowerment and reframing illness as an opportunity for transformation. Rather than focusing solely on disease prevention, she encourages women to view healthy lifestyle changes as part of a broader journey toward longevity and overall wellness. Her mission extends beyond individual health to encompass environmental awareness and the importance of women educating other women about breast health.
