Reiki I & II with Holy Fire*
The ICRT has combined the One and Two levels of Reiki, so this class is open to all persons interested in learning to perform Reiki treatments on themselves and others, as well as students who have completed the Reiki I level already. It will be a review of Reiki I and extend into how to perform Reiki on others, animals, plants, and objects. There will also be a Holy Fire pre-ignition. Holy Fire is a new Reiki Energy. This class will include four attunements for Levels I/II, as well as meditations and plenty of practice time for doing chair Reiki, circle Reiki, self Reiki and table Reiki.

Length: 3 days/6-8 hrs each; Manual and Certificate included
Cost: $450; $100 Deposit due at Registration (before Oct. 31)

ART ~ Master Reiki ~ Holy Fire*

Once a student has completed Reiki I & II training and worked with Reiki for at least 6 months, they may further their Reiki skills with the ART (Advanced Reiki Training) and Master classes.

 

The entire series is 3 days, but a student may prefer to only go for the one-day Advanced Reiki Training, which gives you an advanced symbol and attunement, but does not give the Master symbol, nor teach and enable you to train others in Reiki. The full 3 day course includes advanced Reiki practices such as the Healing Attunement, the Master symbol, instruction on training and attuning others to Reiki, as well as the Holy Fire ignition process. Manual and Certificate included for either class.

ART: Length: 1 day/8 hours
Cost: $275; $75 Deposit due at Registration

 

Master: Length: 3 days/8 hours each day
Cost: $875; $275 Deposit due at Registration

Register ART and/or Master

*HOLY FIRE REIKI
Holy Fire Reiki is a new form of Reiki being introduced by the ICRT. It is both powerful and gentle and provides purification, healing, empowerment and guidance.

Yamuna Body Rolling: Save Your Hips!FC-110122- 003

with Kandy Duke

Saturday 10/11/2014, 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm

If you are super physical and are constantly challenging your body you need to add all the Save Your Hips work to your weekly workouts. If you are sedentary and working hours at a computer, you need to keep your hips from getting stuck and rusty in a sitting position. All of us need to keep our hip joints aligned, greased and oiled all though life for maintaining our circulation and muscular – skeletal integrity from our hip to our feet and from our hips to our head. When your thighbones are restricting your movements, it is usually because they are stuck in some position in the hip joint. This class will explore all the possible movements and connections of how to work the hip joint to the thighbone. We will work the hamstrings, quadriceps, adductors, IT band and deep lateral rotators.

$30 workshop registration

Balls are provided during workshop for use. Kits are available for sale after class for home use.

Yamuna Body Rolling: May 10, 2014

YBR FaceYamuna Body Rolling: Save Face!

Saturday, May 10, 9:30 – 11:00am

$80 Registration Fee includes 90-min instruction &
Take Home Kit including 2 Face Balls & DVD

Pre-Registration Required; Class Limited to 5 students

We are told that the sun and other environmental factors are the primary causes of skin damage. Yamuna believes that just like every other part of our bodies, the face is subject to tremendous repetitive stress from very early on. We begin to frown, squint our eyes, clench our jaws, grind our teeth, tighten our lips and on and on. Each of us has tension patterns that we are no longer aware of that we do constantly, everyday all day. These patterns cause early bone loss, form wrinkles, cause sinus and tension headaches and TMJ. Repetitive stress and tension over the years causes problems with our sinuses, headaches, TMJ, wrinkles and a myriad of other challenges for our irreplaceable faces! In this workshop, you will learn to stimulate bones, muscle and skin, thereby keeping your face more relaxed AND beautiful!

Learning how to work on your own face with specially designed balls will give you a way to prevent aging and when you feel the difference in your face when it is relaxed versus your normal, you will want to incorporate this work into your self-care program.

Yamuna Body Rolling: Private Table SessionsYBR Table Treatment

Saturday, May 10, 11:30am – 1:00pm
Saturday May 10, 1:30pm – 3:00pm

$95 Appointment Fee
Pre-Registration Required, Only 2 appointments available

Table YBR is a nice addition to those wanting to go a little deeper
with Body Rolling. And because not all bodies respond to one single
type of treatment you may find this body work enhances your other body
work.

We start with direct bone stimulation and then work out from where the
tendon attaches to the bone down into the body of the muscle towards
its’ insertion. The ball is used to work each part in traction to
achieve greater length, tone and freedom of movement. As the therapist
works, correcting alignment of bones and muscles throughout the body
is the constant goal. In this treatment a therapist is continually
observing the alignment and correcting it with the one goal; freedom
of movement effortlessly in the client.
