Fall in Love with You

Fall is a mixture of things for me.  I love the warmer months and longer days of spring/summer but there is something about the magnificence of Fall.  I love the creative show that the trees put on.  The shorter days also give me the opportunity to get settled earlier so that I can explore my creativity at night.  Less daylight gives me the opportunity to really reflect.  I tune in quite a bit more and just take stock of what's going on with me.  It's my time to take personal inventory and see what I have done personally and professionally and how I can improve for the future.  I take a look at everything from my health to my parenting and explore how I can be the best version of me.  How can I be more present?  How can I express myself to the fullest?  How can I be of service?  What is serving me and what is not?  Many of these questions are what led to the Fall offerings from Temple Yoga & Wellness Center.  The goal is to help you move into this season healthy and well.  



Artistic Wellness

Artistic Wellness is a program I designed to help creative folks.  I remember back when I was writing full-time how difficult it was for me to sit down and focus on my looming deadlines.  And when I did finally sit down my mind was all over the place.  When I would talk to other creative folks they would have a similar challenges.  One consistent challenge for many of us is knowing there is something you really want to do but not having the time, support, belief or tools to offer that inner voice outward expression.  Artistic Wellness is a 7-week program that will uses yoga, meditation and breathing techniques to help you focus on your creative gift or talent.  Each week we will share with the group a portion of our project and we will practice the techniques (yoga, breathing & meditation) throughout the week.  The change in this course is that I am offering it in-studio and online this time.  The in-studio session is October 4th-November 15th from 3:30-5:00pm.  The online session is October 5th-November 16th from 7-8:30pm.  Registration is now open with early pricing available.  Visit http://www.ilovemytemple.com/artistic-wellness.html to reserve your spot.  Save $20 if you sign up before October 1st.  Note:  To purchase select the Online Store, Services and Temple Programs.

Yoga Detox

Every change of season, I love to cleanse and detox.  This Yoga Detox is a great way to prepare your body for the transition to the cooler weather.  This is a 21-Day cleansing program that will include yoga and nutrition.  Yoga Detox is especially great for those who want to get their diet on track, avoid being sick & boost metabolism.

This is a 21-Day Detox that will help you:
·    Boost immunity
·      Increase energy & focus
·      Improve weight management
·      Release excess waste
·      Increase sense of well-being


The first half of the 21-Day program is for cleansing & detoxing and the second half will help you rebuild your healthy eating habits.  I would recommend that you schedule 3-5 yoga sessions each week for the 21-Day period for maximum benefit.  Click here to register Note:  Yoga Detox is on the Online Store under Temple Programs.
