Instructional DVD, Body So Free, Now Available!

2011-05-31T10:49:00.000-07:00

Many of my clients and yoga students have asked for a video program to use as a follow-up and as an aid to their ongoing practice of Structural ReAlignment Integration (SRI).

It's here.

This intructional DVD program is called Body So Free and is available now for purchase at $95.00 including shipping in the United States. Just click here.

At www.bodysofree.com you will find all the information you will need about SRI including testimonials by practitioners and students to include Cynthia Taylor, a physician, triathelete Doug Trostler, and Christine Nichols, a yoga teacher and acupuncturist.

Beginning this September I will be conducting Body So Free workshops of one, two or three day duration. If you are interested in sponsoring a workshop for students and other practitioners, please call 216.295.5777 or email me at ginny@corebodywisdom.com. Want to attend one? Call or email me.

Again, my deep appreciation to all my friends, colleagues, and students who have been understanding and supportive throughout the launch of my company, Core Body Wisdom, and the Body So Free DVD and seminar series.

Chaos

2011-04-08T09:40:00.000-07:00

One of my associate teachers this week emailed reporting on a client that is so out of balance in the spine and pelvis, she marveled that the structure could even hold this being up. As I witness the unraveling in the pelvic floor and the freedom unleashed throughout the spine I am amazed at how "out of sacred being" we truly are. Where does the chaos begin? How do we create a sustainable culture in which to foster growth and well-being? We cannot expect the society "out there" to create the alignment now, can we?

Is Aging with Pain Inevitable?

An add this morning on my local NPR radio station for a PBS program to view in April, stated that people in their 50's have TO FACE THE INEVITABLE, that knee replacements, back pain and the assorted ailments affiliated with aging are the norm and we have to get ready. How consistent with the disease model of treatment that the consumer nation looks at the structure, the body, the being, as one that "inevitably" breaks down in the ways that marketing instructs us to break down. It has become a foregone conclusion that our physicality will fail us. Marketing to what is sustainable and how to create lifelong well-being, taking responsibility for this vehicle we live in, with no foregone conclusions is a choice to make. How do you plan to live in your body for the duration of your years? What tools, support, do you have to prevent back pain, knee and hip replacements?

How to practice yoga without pain

2011-03-22T17:28:00.000-07:00

An email from a student practicing yoga and journeying toward her teacher certification recently attended my classes as the hip pain experienced for 18 years and now back pain, is not alleviated in her current practice which is one that involves moving quickly through poses, not focused on alignment. In her words, ..."I won't try to go "deeper" which really is annoying because that is what all the yogi's that I'm around seem to want." She is now most confused as how to teach her students and I believe that this is the place where we truly become our own students and teachers. Now the real learning and then the teaching begins.
