Reflexology Sessions - Rebecca Kranias
Rebecca Kranias is a certified and licensed foot reflexologist. She has been practicing for 10 years and is currently a member of the Reflexology Registration Council of Ontario. What is Reflexology and what are its benefits? Reflexology is a relaxing complementary therapy that facilitates the natural healing processes of the body. It is an ancient healing therapy that has been practiced in India, Egypt and China for over 2000 years. Reflexology is now popular in the western world as a form of preventative health care. Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. For example, if the ball of the foot is tender, it may indicate a problem or weakness in the lungs. During treatment, the therapist will stimulate all the foot reflexes by applying gentle pressure to your feet. This action helps to clear energy blockages and encourages energy to flow freely throughout your body. Reflexology treatments facilitate deep relaxation, improved circulation and detoxification. People with the following conditions can benefit from regular
reflexology sessions:

TAKE ALL 3 OF ANA's WORKSHOPS AND SAVE $10 Yoga for Runners - March 20, 2010 Yoga for Runners - Ana
Whatever style you practice, yoga will improve circulation, concentration, strength and flexibility. "Power" yoga develops upper body and core strength and lower body and spinal flexiblity and can be used in preparing the cardiovascular system and muscles for peak performance. More gentle yoga can be practiced to rejuvenate after hard training and competition. But more than this, yoga invites awareness and understanding of our minds, bodies and actions. Focus, visualization and self understanding can help train the mind for competition and to improve confidence and focus. Opening the Hips - Ana The hips are a major joint in the body used constantly in our daily lives. They are the centre of movement. They provide balance and stability, connecting the upper and lower body. They are a key part of our well being. It is in the hips that we carry our own weight as well as, the weight of the world. The hips are a holding site for our feelings and memories connected to security, survival, communication, and relationships. The hips allow us to move in the world and tell us how we feel about it. Throughout this series of workshops, we will explore the movement of the hips, our connections to this area, working gradually to release both physical and emotional tension, learning about ourselves in the process. This workshop is for practitioners of all levels. Creating a Deeper Connection to Your Practice - Ana Topics in this workshop will include:
Standing on Your Hands - Arm Balances - Ana
Inversions and arm balances are empowering postures that teach us not only about our inner strength but about our innate playfulness, courage, fearlessness, agility and ability to create light and space. Learn a pathway to channel these postures into your practice with ease and excitement! Detox Yoga - Davian A 90 minute vinyasa flow designed to detoxify and rejuvenate your whole body ~ inside and out ~ followed by an information session on ways you can continue to detoxify your life. Questions are welcome! Our bodies are designed to naturally detox but due to the environment we live in, the food we eat, and the pace of our lifestyles we need to encourage and support this process. The class will include strong standing series, twists and inversions. Do something good for yourself. Do something good for the world. A portion of the proceeds will go to support Inspire Reach who in
collaboration with Off the Mat and Into the World are raising money
to build schools in Uganda
and bring yoga to at risk youth in North America.
