Radient Wellness Center Offers Yoga Teacher Training

I wanted to put in a little plug for my dear friend and one of my yoga mentors, Joan Ryan.

I have had many students ask me about yoga classes I recommend since I no longer live in Jacksonville, I think all of my previous students would enjoy Joan's enthusiasm for yoga and her expertise is well beyond mine. So...

Here is a link to her website.

I miss you all!

Tuesday 6 pm Yoga Class- Name Change

Marci's Yoga Class on Tuesdays at 6:00 pm is now called Kripalu Yoga, previously known as "Funky Yoga"
Marci took Discovery Yoga's 200 Hour Teacher Training Program which is a Kripalu Yoga Method of Teaching.
She has such a professional yet light hearted way of teaching yoga and truly shows her knowledge and passion in her classes.
For a more information about Marci and her classes please visit Marci's blog site:

Eat, Love & Pray is such a great book!!!

I am reading this book for the 2nd time, well, actually, I don't really have time to read, so i download books from itunes, that way I can walk on the beach in the mornings and listen to books to make the time pass. Anyway, I am enjoying it so much, if you have not read it yet, please do. Elizabeth Gilbert is such an awsome writer. She really puts life as a thirty or forty something woman in perspective. I almost feel like I am living the adveture of traveling to Italy, India and Indonisia through her. I have a dream of traveling, and someday I will. It will be on my next trasure map for sure. Speaking of India- this is a yoga site, so a few words about my own personal yoga practice. I find that when I am not doing Yoga I have to remind myself to breathe!!! Of course I breathe to live, but to REALLY Breathe feels so good. I am often reminding my classes to breathe during class, and throughout our practice, and, so I will be my own teacher today and repeat my own mantra
"breathe girl...breathe!!!"
Until next time.....
Just Breathe.
Namaste'

Gratitude

Each time I guide a Yoga Class we take a moment to be grateful...for having a body to work with, for the ability to breathe, to move freely & for the opportunity to practice Yoga. To me, each day that I get to come to Renaissance and teach classes, to visit with you, my clients, students, my friends, I am grateful. This is a gift.
I thank you for supporting us.

I have been visualizing my perfect, ideal clients and students for years, in my mind, someone once told me to do this...It works!...It really does!

Namaste'

Yoga and Aromatherapy

This week I am excited about a new aromatherapy blend I made for my clients. It is for anti-anxiety. The scent is AMAzing! Lavender, Patchuli and Sweet Orange. It is very uplifting yet at the same time relaxing enough to use towards the end of our yoga classes for Sivasana. The Patchuli promotes a sense of peace and well-being.
Did you know that you can book an aromatherapy consultation with me, blend a few essential oils to make your very own blend and take it with you for your home yoga practice, a salt bath, an inhaler stick, a pillow spray or a lotion just to name a few...It only costs $30. Just call me to book your appointment!
Try my YogAromatherapy class on Friday mornings at 10am ...(Gentle Yoga)

Until next time...
