End of Summer Self-Care Saturdays

From the Wellness Calender for the 'burgh: Self-Care Summer Saturdays
with BodyArts Therapeutics:


The first one is a collaboration with Patty Lemar at The Waldorf School on S. Winebiddle Street Saturday August 6th from 9 am - 5 pm

We've planned a fun day filled with fresh discovery of: local, organic foods, simple cooking, restorative yoga, connecting with one another, reconnecting with ourselves and our earth. Lunch and healthy high tea plus a resource packet are included in the package.

The second one, is scheduled for September 10th 9:15am - 4:00 pm

in Monroeville's Green Wholistic Awareness Center on Cedar's Campus.

I'll introduce my YeSSS Method of Restorative Yoga in a two hour morning session. Each participant will have prescriptive suggestions on how to feel better using this system - taking home some simple, easy to use techniques for first-aid bothered by pain, stiffness or fatigue.

Mid-day we'll enjoy a plant-based locally produced organic lunch with introduction to mindful eating practices.

After enjoying a mindful walk on the property - complete with permaculture project, I'll guide a standing and seated series of Chinese Yoga (qigong) and Hara breathing. My new signature serenading will accompany both the morning and afternoon sessions and if we're lucky the Gong may even be sounded by my colleague, Kundalini Yogi, Satyajeet Singh.


Please note: At each of these events, I will introduce participants to the two extraodinary technologies I've been sharing in BodyArts Therapeutics that are having a profound impact on almost everyone who's experienced them. I will have some on-hand for purchase.

Walk this way....

Venture Outdoors Tai Ji Players joined me May 1st for our first monthly Mindful walking practice with guided QiGong and Tai Ji . Can you glimpse the river on our right?

We had a wonderful time together in Riverview Park, Oakmont.

(See a related post from April "What Goes Around Comes Around:We are all Interconnected')

We had a delightfully diverse group for this first Venture Outdoors session. One young married couple in their 20's invited their mother-in-law -- a couple in their 60s joined us -- a serious runner interested in Chi Running and Chi Walking, two working women in midlife, my yoga and meditation buddy Gentleman Jerry (80+ years old) and last but not least, a Mom of three - who's husband arranged for her to attend - as part of his entire week-end birthday celebration package for her !!!

I had a lot of fun introducing one of my favorite Pittsburgh sites for walking and Tai Ji practice and we topped it off with a social walk along the beautifully landscaped walkway and some window-shopping up on Allegheny River Blvd, Oakmont.

I'm looking forward to our next offerring -- June 12th - same location -- each month. New-comers are welcome to join us -- and maybe we'll have some returnees developing their practice.

If you are elsewhere on the globe and are practicing mindful walking and/or Tai Ji out in nature -- I'd love to see your pictures and read about your experience -- do add your comments at the bottom of this entry!
