Have YOU Tried The Amethyst Bio-Mat Yet?
at College Street in Studio 2, 3rd Floor
Leading Edge Technology that Supports Health and Well-Being
Negative Ion and Far Infrared Therapeutic Treatment System

bio-matThe Amethyst Bio-Mat contains more than 28 pounds of amethyst crystals which naturally produce and are superconductors of far infrared rays. As the molecules of your cells are illuminated with far infrared light rays of the same "frequency", this process actually boosts your cellular metabolism and microcirculation. The superconductor properties of the amethyst crystals amplify these natural rays so they can penetrate the body up to six inches unlike most other far infrared technologies which only penetrate 1 to 1.5 inches.

This therapy can also promote the elimination of poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals and other toxic substances that the body encapsulates in water molecules and stores in the subcutaneous fat cells. The amethyst bio mat:

• Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
• Reduces Stress and Fatigue
• Improves the Immune System
• Removes Toxins
• Speeds Recovery
• Improves Skin Tone
• Burns Calories and Controls Weight

Scoliosis Workshop with Senem Sen
Saturday, November 15 @ Danforth 3rd Floor
6:30 to 9:30pm ~ $55 + gst

Human BackScoliosis refers to an abnormal curvature of the spine. The spine bends to one side or the other, causing compression of one side of the body. This condition makes it painful to even stand or sit for long periods of time.

By combining the yoga postures with breathing awareness, one can develop an inner alignment, creating a feeling of inner symmetry as well. Through yoga, one can find that balance point that allows the scoliosis curve to coexist with gravity. The result for most people with scoliosis is better posture and less pain.

Whether you have scoliosis yourself or know someone with scoliosis, it is empowering to be informed on the kinds of scoliosis that exist. In this workshop, we will talk about the types of scoliosis, how to work on your own curvature and tailor it to your yoga practice. We will go through a yoga sequence with modifications available for people with scoliosis as well.

If you are a teacher, you may find this workshop informative in helping your students with scoliosis.

Inspiration

November

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."
~ Buddha
