What inspires you to "reach beyond"?

People.  Through my personal and professional life I have met (and continue to meet) amazing and inspiring people. Teaching yoga gives me those opportunities weekly.  When I am tempted to "rest on my laurels", I think of the woman I know who practices regularly while recovering from breast cancer, or the man who in his words "has the flexibility of a steel pole" but thought he should "give this yoga thing a try", or the pregnant Mamas who make it to class despite the exhaustion of their day.  People inspire me to "reach beyond" and unroll my mat.

 

How do you rejuvenate from the daily stresses of life?

One of my favorite things in the world is laughter.  I am blessed with a very amusing family and friends and have learned that there is almost nothing as soothing as a great belly laugh with someone you love.  And, of course, yoga.

 

What's on your playlist?

Deva Premal is my go to music for Prenatal and Gentle classes, I find her soothing voice transcends.  For more active yoga I like to spice it up a little more currently I am smitten with DJ Drez's "For what it's worth".

 

Join Cara-Lynne on Monday nights for:

 Prenatal Yoga from 6:45 - 7:45 p.m. and Gentle Yoga at 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.

The next Prenatal Yoga session starts on Monday, April 13th.

WELLNESS TIPS WITH THERAPEUTIC EFFECTSTE

Welcome Therapeutic Effects! Erin and Nicole are now located at Beyond and they are looking forward to providing their services to our community. Each month, they will share a wellness tip with us. 

What's in a massage?

Massage therapy is becoming a popular form of treatment for many musculoskeletal disorders as well as maintaing general good health and well being. There are different types of massage to help with different needs. Most commonly known and practiced in the Western world is Swedish massage. Kneading techniques are used to help increase circulation and decrease muscle tension. Regular massage every 4-6 weeks is a proactive health care regime that is encouraged by most registered massage therapists!

 

Yours in health,

The Therapeutic Effects Team
