Herbs and Yoga for Digestion

Sat. January, 22

2-4:30

$15-20 sliding scale

West Roxbury, MA

In this class, we are exploring herbs that help to strengthen digestion. Great digestion means that we are assimilating/absorbing our nutrients, enhancing vitality, and digesting our life experiences. We will also explore yogic techniques to strengthen the 3rd chakra, which governs digestion. We'll have an open discussion to determine what might be the best herbs for you to work with, and might be the causes for digestive imbalances in our lives. Bring a journal, wear comfortable clothing, and come with an open mind and seeking spirit. Please RSVP and until we meet again, Green Blessings!

Chakra Balancing Workshop

Sunday, Dec. 12th

2:00-4:30ish

West Roxbury location

This month we're stepping beyond the usual scope of herbal medicine to learn about the chakras.

Chakras are energy centers that relate to different organ systems and different aspects of our being.
This class is for those who are new to working with the chakras and also for those with more experience. The first half of the class will be theoretical, and the second half will be experiential. I will guide you to a state of being able to perceive the different chakras, and then teach you ways to bring them back into balance. Sometimes we need to work energetically to achieve optimal health, and this class will provide you with tools to be able to do chakra work on yourself at any time. We'll also discuss herbs and flower essences that correspond with each chakra. (ok, so I had to slip some herbs in somewhere). ;-)
As usual, please bring a notebook and an open, seeking spirit.
$15-$20 sliding scale From 2-4:30ish
I'm really looking forward to teaching this class!!!! Blessings, Melanie
