BREATH WORK with Pamela Katch

this work utilizes a simple, rhythmic breathing meditation to clear and organize our internal space, enabling us to make the most of our energy. used to neutralize negative thoughts and emotions [reactions, inherited patterns, or impulses picked up unconsciously from the environment], breath work reveals greater balance, relaxation, inner ease and inspired action. when this work is practiced with regularity, one is able to more and more easily discern the heart's desire and follow its reliable genius.

this pranayama technique comes from the work of david elliot (to learn more, please visit www.reluctanthealer.com). pamela has been practicing this breath work since 2005, and is happy to offer its clarifying power to the virayoga community. she has trained with scott schwenk, and assisted him extensively in david elliott’s healer training program. she is a graduate of 2005 virayoga teacher training program with lois nesbitt, and grateful to all of her teachers, especially to elena brower, j. brown, hugo cory and scott schwenk.

Cost: $80 for 60 minutes

ACUPUNCTURE with Emanuel Rudy, L.Ac.

Oriental medicine focuses on the connectivity of an individual’s three essential beings: the physical, emotional and spiritual. The connections between these three beings are mapped on the body through the movement of energetic channels, or pathways, called meridians. When there is smooth and easy flow of energy through the meridians the individual experiences health, peace and tranquility. When the flow is disrupted or impeded there is a resulting disharmony within the three bodies, causing pain, sickness and disease, not only for the physical being, but for the emotional and spiritual, as well.

Emanuel's focus as an acupuncturist is on the complete health of the individual through an active approach of understanding disease and enabling the individual to engage with their own healing process. His understanding of the body's inherent connections allows him to effectively treat physical issues while also deeply impacting thought patterns and behaviors.

Cost: $120, 75 minute sessions.
