Shelly, Gaylene and Leslie both schedule private yoga sessions. Here is a short description of what each specialize in.

Restorative Yoga

“Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.” Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T.

Restorative yoga is based on supported physical postures that when practiced regularly, assist in helping to heal the effects of chronic stress.

Stress is the product of the “fight or flight” response. When unchecked the sympathetic nervous system responds by increasing cardiac output, blood pressure, tension in muscles and shallow breathing. Continuous exposure to this kind of chronic stress is harmful to the body’s natural healing proprieties.
The parasympathetic nervous system or relaxation response allows your body to lower blood pressure, heart rate and respiration. This response is also known as the “rest and renew” stage when the body has time to heal and restore.

Shelly and Gaylene have recently received their Relax and Renew teaching certificates under Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T. This certificate authorizes both to teach restorative yoga classes. They feels strongly that we must give ourselves permission to slow down, to get off the “gerbil wheel” or habit of daily stressful living and recover. This can be accomplished by learning skills to begin to take responsibility for our health and regain abundant and purposeful living again.
Shelly and Gaylene are available for private and group sessions by appointment.

ER Yoga

ER yoga is pain relief yoga. Physical pain is many times caused by stress – emotional stress. Isn’t your headache worse when you think about dealing with that difficult person at work? ER or Emotional Recovery Yoga is a three step process: identifying your individual emotional stresses, removing them quickly, then practicing gentle yoga postures and breathing to help relax the body and anchor the new balanced energy in the body. If the body is relaxed, the body is not in pain. This is how ER yoga works as pain relief. ER means Emotional Recovery. The body is recovering its emotional balance.

An ER yoga session is a private individualized session because each person perceives experiences different than anyone else. Through energy testing your body, Leslie will identify the negative emotions that are causing distortions in your energy body. These distortions cause a disruption in energy flow thus causing emotional and physical pain.
