Upcoming
September 12 ~ 1-Day Face-Lifting Massage: Ayurvedic And Thai Massage Applications, with Ariela Grodner, Cambridge, MA
Join Ariela Grodner for a day devoted to the art of face and neck massage — marma point therapy, Ayurvedic face oils, facial cupping, Gua Sha, lymphatic drainage, and the techniques that bring lift and radiance to the face. Face-Lifting Massage rejuvenates the skin, stimulates collagen, improves circulation, and restores a more youthful glow, while releasing the tension we so often carry in our facial muscles. The result is relaxation and balance that extend well beyond the face, offering one of the most effective ways to unwind fully. In this weekend workshop, you’ll learn to give a complete one-hour face-lifting treatment.

September 13, The Power of the Breath: A Kundalini Yoga and Pranayama Journey, Arlington, MA
Awaken the inner body of light, the pranamayakosha, and expand your life force through breathing exercises and inner energy practices. Drawing mostly from Kundalini Yoga, but from classical pranayama sequences as well, this practice bathes your cells and brain in fresh oxygen while opening the body’s energetic pathways. You’ll learn to enhance, extend, and harness the power of the breath through pranayama, then channel this heightened pranic energy using bandhas (inner locks) and mudras (ways to enhance mental focus, including hand gestures). When the inner fire is ignited, self-healing and self-realization follow naturally.

September 19, Yoga and Qigong: A Meeting of Earth and Sky, Club Fit, Briarcliff Manor, NY
Discover the Taoist art of Wu Wei — “action through non-action” — as Qigong and the Yoga of Energy Flow weave into a single, unified practice, a true meeting of earth and sky within the body. Here, breath becomes movement and movement becomes stillness, unlocking the meridians and awakening the subtle current of life force within. Through grounded, deliberate sequences designed to build strength, cultivate presence, and restore inner balance, feel the earth’s steadiness rise to meet the sky’s openness, until Qigong’s fluid grace and yoga’s rooted power dissolve into one continuous state of embodied awareness. Take-home materials will be offered to deepen your ongoing exploration.
