Our work in this caregiving field offers many challenges and sources of stress, physically, mentally

and emotionally. Our own self-care is vital to maintaining our health and wellness and our ability

to keep on supporting those who need us ~ at school and at home.  As a line from Shakespeare’s

Henry V states,“Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin/As self-neglecting.” Join us for this

opportunity to nurture your mind, body and soul and replenish the well.

I am a high school science teacher who found

yoga as a way to balance the demands of the

profession and a body history of sports

injuries. My goal is to bring yoga as an

energetic practice to as many folks who are

willing to show up and give it a try. I

emphasize making yoga accessible to a wide

variety of practitioners through

modifications, to meet the individual's needs,

so we walk away empowered, relaxed,

positive and strong. I have been a yoga

instructor for five years, but a practitioner

for  over a decade. I am a certified 200 hour

YT working toward my 500 hour certification.

This is a yoga session designed to promote wellness

for all practitioners.

Ayurveda is a way of complimenting a yoga practice

with healthful eating and living to promote the body's

amazing ability to self-heal. It is an ancient practice

which modern science is just beginning to catch up on

and back up with research. We will explore some

main tenets of Ayurveda, in a lunch workshop, where

we'll also enjoy a couple tri-doshic dishes to bring the

body into balance. All food will be vegetarian, and

most will be vegan and dairy-free (or those options

will be available).

and founder of Infinite Life Solutions.

Services that she offers include Reiki,

essential oils, Soul Hooping, private coaching

support and guidance for wherever you are on

the journey!

Our bodies, by nature, require movement to learn,

relax and be able to drop into our bodies. Hooping

incorporates movement by using a larger hoop while

receiving sensory biofeedback. What can Mindful

Hooping do for you?

Liane is the Staff Development Coordinator at

CiTi. Her passion and her work center around

mindfulness and embodied learning. Her goal is

to serve and support others as they transform

their inner lives, because she believes, as

Parker Palmer says, “We teach who we are.”

She is currently participating in a year-long

training with Daniel Rechtschaffen, Linda

Lantieri and Meena Srinavasan ~

Transformative Educational Leadership in

Mindfulness-Based Social Emotional Learning.

In January, she will embark on a two-year

journey with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield

leading to certification from UC Berkley in

Mindfulness Meditation.

This session will focus on the basics of essential oils ~

where they come from, how to use them for overall

health and wellness and methods of use. Participants

will have the opportunity to make 5 different roller

ball blends. Since this make-and-take is optional, each

roller ball blend is $5 cash to be paid on the day of the

event.
