Kettlebell training is different than other forms of weight training because many parts of the body are exercised simultaneously, and in addition kettlebell training elevates the heart rate for effective cardiovascular training.
The displacement of weight from the hand requires that the stabilizing muscles engage more with each movement and therefore require more muscles to fire at once. Kettlebell exercises are whole-body exercises requiring full body integration and core stabilization. There is no such thing as isolated muscle work in kettlebell training.
Some of the Benefits
*Increases musculoskeletal health by reducing neck, shoulder and low back pain, and increases trunk extensor strength.
*Enhances stimulation of nervous system *Sensible ballistic loading reduces the odds of arthritis.
*Strengthens the gluteal muscles. (Individuals with low back dysfunction often exhibit “gluteal amnesia” and if not corrected with proper recruitment pattern practice, it is likely to lead to more back problems.)
*Beneficial for the tendons and ligaments, resulting in stronger joints that may be less susceptible to injury.
Mobility and Flexibility will be a big asset in some of the movements.

Yoga Nidra brings you through a journey of relaxation, awareness, and presence all while you are awake!
RELAXATION – this practice of Yoga Nidra begins by connection your breath, body and mind. This connectedness brings deep relaxation to the central nervous system. Every part is acknowledged, connected and functioning together.
AWARENESS – relaxation allows us to become more aware bringing clarity, ease and openness to possibility. In a relaxed state, we explore our body and breath for places of holding or control and release this tension through awareness.
PRESENCE – after bringing deep relaxation to our entire body, releasing tension through awareness and experiencing an alternate possibility, we finish the practice fully in the present moment. Our body is rested. Our breath is flowing and full. Our mind is soothed. We now know we can bring deep relaxation into our lives anytime we wish too.

Infant Massage Classes
Infant Massage has been an integral part of childbearing and raising in many cultures for thousands of years. Over the last 30 plus years, its efficacy and importance to both child and parent is finally being proven to doctors and scientists. This is something that mothers, grandmothers, doulas, and midwives have always known.
Infant Massage Classes are held over a five-week period. Each class is approximately one (1) hour long. Parents and primary caregivers learn infant cues and still or resting touch as well as the various strokes for each part of their infants’ body, also when and how to apply them. Tips for adapting massage to the older child and special circumstances are discussed and demonstrated. Issues around crying, colic and sleep disturbances are also covered. It is a relaxed, fun-filled time. Over the five-week course, parents can really see the development, growth, and changes that their infant is enjoying.
Each class has a demonstration and practice of various massage strokes. Each subsequent week reviews the previous weeks’ strokes and questions about various topics and/or issues are addressed.
