MALTA EXPERIENCE & YOGA RESUMES

6/3/2019

Hello Everyone!
Our Yoga classes are resuming this week:
Tuesday 5:15PM and Thursday 9:30AM & 11:00AM at Inner Balance, Newington; Wednesday 5:00PM at DCC in Durham

We had an amazing time in Malta!! It was so nurturing for body, mind, and spirit, just being present every day with another adventure! We discovered beautiful beach fronts close to our hotel, enjoyed delicious meals in Maltese traditions, walked for miles in nature as well as in ancient places. What impressed us most was the ancient history of Malta, which dates back 5,000 – 6,000 years! Ohhh, how amazing to be in these places and pick up the energy! Feeling into this ancient wisdom of 4000BC when the early settlers on Malta started building temples, with many of them built around 3600BC - all older than the Pyramids in Egypt, or Stonehenge in Britain! They oriented according to the Summer Solstice, Sun, Moon, and star positions! So very impressive! I just wanted to be still, walk, reflect, meditate, and so…. I didn’t send any photos …. just being in the moment!

On two days, we did enjoy company and it was total fun to meet up with Mary, a Maltese student of mine, who had inspired me to come to Malta. It was soooo much fun to visit her in Birkirkara and stroll along the beautiful harbor of Birgu. On the following day, we took a ferry to Gozo, discovering the sister island of Malta. We would have never found these special places without Mary! :)

Oh, yes, and since Eberhard and I had our 45th wedding anniversary, we took a ferry to Sicily to celebrate in the beautiful town of Taormina. We were honored by Mt. Etna, which was rumbling and steaming, while we had a clear view to the top of it. So exciting to have natural fireworks!

As we returned to Berne, Switzerland, we enjoyed a gorgeous Summer day. A few places reminded me of our previous trip, last year in January, when I had a small group here in Berne. This time, sunshine and warmth made it so different. I will include a few photos to share our experiences. Enjoy!

I am looking forward to seeing you this week! And please sign up for our Osteoporosis workshop on June 15. This is now accredited by NAMA (National Ayurvedic Medical Association) as continuing education PACE credits for Ayurvedic practitioners!

Much Love, Hannelore

My Inspirations for Spring!

4/29/2019

Hello Everyone!

Last night, I returned back from CA, after having attended the NAMA-Conference (National Ayurvedic Medical Association).

I had a wonderful time at 1440 Multiversity, a new school close to San Jose, with a breathtaking campus, landscape, and buildings. I feel uplifted by the inspirational talks, as well as fulfilled from reconnecting with old friends/colleagues and finding new friends in the Ayurvedic field; all sooo inspiring!

This Year’s conference focused on: “Ayurveda & the Mind”.
I enjoyed the many perspectives of psychology in Ayurveda, where masters/doctors of Ayurveda and scientific researchers reflected and discussed the therapeutic applications of Ayurveda: The combination of Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda (that is what I do mainly!), working on the aspects of the Doshas: Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and how all need an individualized approach in treating health challenges. We can help clients wean out of anxiety and light depression by applying the qualities/Gunas of Rajas or Tamas to come into a balanced Sattvic life-style, which then affects the mood and emotions. We might apply herbs, if the person doesn’t use other medication, or work with a psychotherapist in conjunction! Of course, when the client has sufficient motivation to change their lifestyle, s/he becomes the co-investor, or co-creator of their health. The client becomes self-empowered in their own healing process! Using Ayurveda and therapeutic Yoga on the psycho-emotional level, we learn to become aware, to stop, breathe, realize, and understand the emotions, and bring out the best within us to shift and transform!

I would like to invite you next week, Tuesday, May 7, 4-5PM to a Free Class! We will talk about an Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse, and how we can include mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects into our Cleanse! Besides providing you with a Kitchari recipe, I will explain options to cleanse or transform on psycho-emotional levels. Simple daily practices which help us shift to a positive state of awareness and joy of life!

Let me know, if you are interested!!
Of course, call or email, if you would also like a private session with me! I am inspired to help you! :)

Much Love and Blessings, Hannelore

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP!

4/1/2019

Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis
with Yoga & Nutrition

Hello Everyone!
Our next workshop is coming up in barely two weeks! This educational workshop was developed out of my long experience with the challenges of Osteoporosis and the accumulation of my studies as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Yoga Therapist! It is worthwhile for those of you, concerned about Osteopenia and Osteoporosis!
I will provide you with the definition and facts of Osteoporosis, bone physiology, what causes Osteoporosis, dietary factors from the view point of Ayurveda. We hear the scientific view, provided by Maria Larkin, with whom I will be collaborating again. She is an experienced dietitian and nutritionist here at Inner Balance.
Of course, we will practice mindful Yoga, incorporating breathing, alignment, joint-opening as well as strengthening poses with affirmations. We will conclude with some Tapping - EFT and a visualization to establish a whole supportive daily practice for you!
Please, sign up early! We are looking forward to seeing you!
Namaste, Hannelore

A Workshop Change!

3/16/2019

$50.00

Hello Everyone!

We will have a Rest & Renewal Workshop this coming Saturday, March 23, 1:30-4:00PM.

Since the Workshop "Guided Imagery & Creative Painting" did not fill, I am changing the theme to a R & R workshop. Those R & R's are Usually much appreciated and loved.

Spring is coming and always brings us a boost of energy for new beginnings, and therefore, we can create a new intention while being in a restorative pose and then rounding it up with a Yoga Nidra plus Sankalpa-Intention.

REIKI I TRAINING ON FEBRUARY 23

1/24/2019

Hello everybody!

In the middle of the winter there is often a need for healing and for the uplifting of our spirits due to the lack of light and warmth. Therefore, I have decided, per the request of a few yogis, to give another Reiki I Training!

I am offering this training on Saturday, February 23rd. The length of this training depends upon how many people sign up, but for now, it is scheduled to take place in one day over a period of four hours.

In this training, we will come together to learn about the history of Reiki. You will be initiated by me into the traditional practice - attuned with previous Reiki Masters - channeling their energy and wisdom. As a result, you will experience four attunements which open the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. Your vibrational frequency will be heightened and the energy within you will flow more strongly. You will also learn the hand positions of Reiki and how to treat yourself as well as others.

Through Reiki you can heal physical ailments and improve your emotional and mental states of well-being. It will also lift up your spirit which is especially important now during this winter time when our energy is low and we need more light and warmth.

I would like to invite you to join us for this training. It is being hosted at the Community Church of Durham on February 23rd from 9:30-1:30 (time allotted could change).

In early Summer, I will also offer a Reiki II Training which will enhance the healing effects of Reiki Therapy because it also works with symbols and colors. This training is four times stronger than Reiki I. You need to have completed the Reiki I Training in order to participate in the Reiki II Training.

Upcoming Reiki Share

Coming up on Tuesday, February 26th, I will host a Reiki Share where all previous participants can practice their Reiki Healing on one another. This practice will strengthen the vibrational healing. This Reiki Share is open to any person who has completed a Reiki Training.

My New Brochure

I have a new brochure! It has been created with love by Ashley and Daniela because they thought I should have one. :) I am excited about it and wanted to share it with you. Feel free to share it with others! ~ Hannelore

REIKI SHARE

1/11/2019

Hello Everybody!
We have a Reiki Share coming up this week on Tuesday, January 15 (4:00 - 5:00PM). We are a small group of Reiki practitioners who come together to practice on each other and to treat persons in need.

Either the entire group treats one person for around 10 minutes, or we pair up and work one on one.

Giving Reiki treatments as well as receiving them raises the vibratory levels of the energy field in and around our physical bodies. Reiki clears our energy pathways, lifts our spirit, and brings focus and relaxation to our minds. Attending as a practitioner or receiver is free. However, if you would like to give a donation, it is appreciated (towards the rent of the space). We meet at the upstairs Yoga studio of Inner Balance Pelvic Health & Wellness Center.

If you would like to join us, please jot me an email at: yoga@moebiusyoga.com

Much Love & Blessings, Hannelore

*** The next Reiki Training is planned for the end of February (tentatively Feb 23).
