Pilates mat class starting this THURS , Feb 11 at the Center with Eva Wilder who conducted a Workshop called Integrated Body last month. She is a wonderful teacher with so much subtly and inspiration for approaches to body awareness and discovery. I am so excited to have her come and teach and share her knowledge. Come join us 5:30 to 6:30 $15 for 60minutes.

This past weekend was a workshop banquet! Sat the Intro workshop brought in people interested in Melt from fields varying from massage therapy to professional cleaning service. Everyone left a lot more relaxed and a little more knowledgeable about starting their Own hands off body work self treatment. Ray Madigan blew everyone away with his precision and insight into our bodies and the application of the Iyengar system. I personally had such an amazing transformation that I almost didn't know my body anymore. An emotional calmness and spiritual kindness seemed to permeate every cell. I almost felt "stunned". Ray was in such a great mood, telling jokes in between corrections. Lunch was great Thank you all for your contribution. We are truly blessed to have this supportive group interest and for Rat's commitment and live of yoga.

This past weekend we had a fantastic class with Ray Madigan. Attendance was high and some new faces in class (hi Dawn). Students came as far as Hawi to Hilo to attend the class. Ray is really worth it. Each time I take his class a part of me opens up. We also had a Sutra class after our very good potluck lunch. Ray explained very well the philosophical nature of the yoga practice. Then we did some inversions.

What a fantastic MELT/Strength class! We had 4 advanced level MELters including a newcomer Aimée Kolman. She has been working steadily in the MELT method for about eight months and now has achieved the advanced level. I wanted to.explore the relationship between the occipital joint and the hip sockets. I was inspired by a little hip pain from a bike ride recently. I MELTed and did strength moves and found a relationship between them. I brought that discovery to cla...ss and we added some therapeutic yoga moves for the thigh muscles. I feel as if I'm becoming more confident with adding other modalities to these classes. I am seeing the benefit that is drawn from my many years of experience, knowledge gathering and wisdom with the body. I am excited about combining other things with a specific theme in mind for these classes. Thank you MELTers for supporting what I love to do best! See more
