Open Yoga Classes are temporarily suspended for the summer. Isha is offering private and/or small group classes based on inquiry; contact 303-823-2459 you are interested in starting a group!

Isha will be focusing on CranioSacral work as taught by the Upledger Institute. According to http://www.upledger.com/content.asp?id=26 “CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

“Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

“By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Colic
Autism
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Infantile Disorders
Learning Disabilities
Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Stress and Tension-Related Problems
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Surgical Dysfunction”

Contact Isha with any questions or to schedule an appointment!

Shivaratri

March 2, 2011

Lighting the Dark

November 29, 2010

waking up now

September 22, 2010

If we examine our personality, we’ll find in the design many opinions, preferences, shades of likes and dislikes, and volumes of stories. These lines of definition divide and shape [...]
