Body and Soul - A Salon for the Healing Arts

• Jillian Engbers teaches The Nia Technique on Wednesday evenings, 5:30 to 6:30 PM. Nia, a fun practice for all ages and levels, is an amazing full-body dance fitness work-out. Nia gently trims, tones and enhances muscle flexibility, builds core strength and works the cardiovascular system through a pleasurable creative practice that incorporates the movement qualities of dance, the martial arts and the healing arts. It enhances the student’s connection to his/her center and balances right and left brain activity through a combination of free-dance and choreographed routines.

• Sharre Young, C.M.T. is offering the Balakrama (the first Shadow Yoga Prelude form) on Fridays at 5pm. This class is offered as a 4-week series. Pre-registration is required, $60. Shadow Yoga frees the body of physical and energetic obstructions and corrects chaotic movement patterns which can be the source of dis-ease and pain. It utilizes practices from the internal martial arts and classical yoga. Successful practice imprints natural, integrated movement and quiets the mind. Click here for more info. Sharre began practicing yoga and exploring spirituality and the healing arts in 1986; her experience includes study with masters from Vedic, Buddhist, Tantric and Advaitic lineages. Her Hatha (physical-based) yoga practice is rooted in the Krishnamacharya lineage (Iyengar, Jois). Her classes are now based on the work of Shandor Remete.
