THANK YOU!!!
WOW, what a great first Kelleys Island Yoga & Wellness Retreat! I’ll be posting details soon about the 2015 Summer Weekend Yoga Retreat. Until then you can hold the date for August 28-30, 2015!
Please join us September 11-14, on the idyllic Kelleys Island, for a weekend of beach yoga bliss and wellness. The festivities begin on Thursday, September 11, with a weekend reflexology workshop, and the yoga kicks off Friday evening with a sunset yoga and meditation class and continues through Sunday with lots of time to explore the island and perhaps indulge yourself with a Thai massage. There’s nothing better than doing your daily downward dogs basking in the sun, with a yoga class playlist courtesy of the rolling Lake Erie surf, and cool breezes brushing across your face. Come breathe, stretch, dance, relax, and find your bliss on Kelleys Island!

How you use CPTG Essential Oils in Everyday life
Using essential oils is intuitively simple and highly satisfying. However, the many oils available with their numberless combinations and wellness applications can be a bit overwhelming to beginners.
This FREE class provides you with a general knowledge of what essential oils are, what Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade means, and the different ways you can use them. You learn to address all kinds of emotional & physical health concerns (colds, flu, allergies, sleep disorders, migraines & headaches, depression, stress & anxiety just to name a few).
Join us and become a healer in your own home – naturally & powerfully!!!

This is a FREE Class, but you must register by August 31, 2014 – space is limited!
Thai Massage & Body Wisdom Consultations
So what is a Thai Massage you ask? With a 2200 year history founded in Ayurvedic medicine and Yoga, Thai Massage is gaining popularity in the West. This unique form of bodywork is a part of the traditional healing practices in Thailand. It is done fully clothed on a cushioned floor mat. It is often described as having someone ‘do yoga to you’. Thai massage is appropriate for all ages and compliments any lifestyle. Benefits include:
- Improved circulation
- Detox of the lymphatic system
- Increase in flexibility and range of motion
- Improved muscle tone
- Heightened immune functioning
- Recovery from over-exertion
- Relaxation of sore or tense muscles
- Enhanced natural healing processes
Body Wisdom is a therapeutic process that allows you to listen to your own body and access your inner wisdom. While resting comfortably in savasana, you are guided into a deep meditation that helps you access your personal information and insight. Through releasing and affirming statements, your old, unproductive patterns are released and new, productive thoughts and behaviors are acquired. This healing art can help you hear the guidance you need to make healing, empowering and meaningful changes in your life.
The cost for either a Thai Massage or a Body Wisdom session is $45, and you should definitely make a reservation to ensure your spot by contacting Tracy at 216-551-0707 or email trhinehart108 at gmail.com.
