Healing With Maya Abdominal Massage

My Experience with Hot House Yoga

My very good friend and yoga mentor Kim (one of our CNY Healing Arts instructors!) was the first to introduce me to hot house yoga.  I was at a point in my fertility journey where I felt like I was doing everything right, but all of my results came out wrong.  I was practicing yoga 4-5 times a week, having frequent acupuncture sessions with Donald, taking my medications religiously, and following a good whole foods diet.  However, each time we did an ultrasound, my lining just refused to thicken, and my follicles were being slow pokes.  I felt incredibly frustrated, disappointed, and overwhelmed.  I had decided that if this cycle didn’t work, I would take a few months off.  Re-center, rejuvenate.

I took my Ovidrel on Thursday, and decided that I would not follow up with any further medications.  I needed a break.  On Friday, I met Kim at hot house and I was immediately met by the warmth of the room, and I could feel the energy in the air.  I settled in, and tried to clear my mind.  I was still holding onto frustration from my cycle, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to fully experience the session.  However, once the class began my mind became a blank slate.  I could feel the release all of my anxiety and frustration with each exhale and pose.  I felt as though I was literally wringing out months of energy, and negativity.  Read more

Awaken Your Skin With a Fall Glow

Everyone’s skin reacts to the weather and change of seasons regardless of your skin type, and when cooler temperatures roll into town, it’s time to give your skin a little TLC! Your skin contends with a lot during the summer months: Heat and humidity churn out loads of oil, the sun leaves skin dull and sunscreen can clog pores. Fortunately, a great exfoliant can help! In keeping with the spirit of fall, a Pumpkin Peel Facial may be exactly what your skin needs to restore its radiance and keep a healthy glow. A Pumpkin Peel Facial is full of rejuvenating antioxidants to help combat damage your skin has endured over the summer months. The star of this facial is obviously the Pumpkin, which contains more than 100 beneficial nutrients, including high levels of Vitamins A and C, to help to reverse the signs of aging. Pumpkin’s natural properties stimulate skin circulation, fights free radical damage, and provides nourishment for sun-damaged, dry and weathered skin. Read more
