EXPLORE INSIGHTS, TIPS, AND PRACTICES FOR HOLISTIC WELL-BEING
 New Hampshire’s Summer has arrived! According to Ayurveda, summer corresponds to Pitta, the Dosha made of fire and water. Pitta is responsible for digestion and transformation in the body and mind, thus its main site is in the small intestine. During the summer season, the fiery external temperatures influence the digestion and mental activities. Your appetite might go down, you might get aggravated, or perhaps you find that you can’t sleep as easily because of the heat. What can you do to balance your Dosha, if you are Pitta-dominant?
If you would like to dive deeper into this knowledge of Ayurveda, book a session with me and I'll help you discover your Dosha and cool down for the summer! We can have your session in person or online. ~ Hannelore Yoga & Workshop ScheduleAs you may notice, I have decided to take a summer break from my yoga classes in order to heal my broken fibula! I was too enthusiastic landscaping my garden with big rocks haha. I know that I will be better by September so I'll add more classes then. In addition, we will go back to sessions in September! I'll update you here with more information soon.  Upcoming Workshops!

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 *** Here is my photo of the beautiful Conference Center, 1440 Multiversity!  Upcoming Workshop
Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day full of love! Just in case you need some additional love and affection, here's a reminder of my Rest & Renewal Workshop tomorrow. It's a partner supported restorative practice in which we will play, dance, stretch and massage ourselves or a partner. It's a lovely opportunity to rejuvenate yourself and to open and support your heart chakra. Please don't worry if you aren't able to bring a partner, you're still most welcome. I hope to see you there! Please, send me an email, if you had not signed up yet. ~ Hannelore ❤ ***I'll bring my favorite Energy balls. Just made it, and the Recipe is posted below! :)

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
Yoga & Workshop Schedule
Hello Yoga Friends!
This year, the early snowfall brought us into an earlier Holiday Spirit. I am looking back on a year, filled with lots of work, adventurous travel, joy, and love. I thank you for your continuous support of my classes and workshops. We so appreciate our new place at Inner Balance in Newington and the Parlor of the Community Church in Durham. I am also grateful for our amazing Moebius Yoga Team, Ashley and Daniela, who worked tirelessly for creating this colorful, ever evolving website with their knowledge of technology and art, which I would have not been able to do by myself! We hosted and ‘adopted’ Ashley into our home who gave birth to her beautiful baby girl Isabella. We, as 'adoptive Oma & Opa', had such an amazing, precious time with the two of them and then Isabella’s father and family members, traveling from Peru and Texas to welcome Isabella! Our house was full of joy, and now a little quiet, but we will see each other again soon! The Holidays with Christmas will bring us a full house with all of our family members again, and I can’t wait to play with Bear, our grandson, and celebrate with all of them! I wish you a joyful and peaceful Holiday Season and safe travels, wherever you might go! Although, many of us will enjoy a full home with company and family time, let’s try to take a break for reflection and meditation in between. Our Yoga practice helps us find that inner peace, even in the midst of the business of the Season. May we all enter the coming year with peace at all levels of our being, with family and friends, and the world around us. The new Yoga schedule for the Year 2019 is enclosed. During the coming semester, we will deepen our exploration of the Chakras and so we will apply Mudras and new visualizations according to the Chakras. Additionally, I will teach you one rejuvenating restorative pose at the end of the class each week, combined with deep reflection. We have a number of great workshops coming up this coming year! Please sign-up early! I have to commit to the space a month ahead! If we do not receive sufficient sign-ups one month before the workshop, I unfortunately will need to cancel the workshop, so please sign-up ahead of time! I have scheduled a Reiki Share for January 15th, and a “Post-Holiday-Cleanse” for the second week of January. I encourage you to join me for some time of self-care to reset body and mind with an Ayurvedic Kitchari-Cleanse. As a SPECIAL OFFERING, I will offer a brief (15min) AYURVEDIC phone CONSULTATIONS for FREE! :) Plan the month of January as YOUR time to re-align! We all know, if it is not firmly in our schedule then other activities will get in the way! As of March 1st, I will be raising my price for Ayurvedic Consultations to $160 for the initial session and $70 for follow-ups. However, if you book your 1 ½ hour session before February 28th, you will pay only the former price of $150 with $60 for any follow-ups. Phone, FaceTime and Skype sessions are the same price. Please sign up on my website via PayPal or e-mail and send your payment to my office at 350 Hemlock Lane, Barrington, NH 03825. As you have seen in the past, your favorite classes fill up quickly. Have a wonderful Holiday season and a Happy New Year! With Much Peace & Love, Hannelore Early 2019 Yoga & Workshop Schedule

Hello Everyone!
My most favorite Workshop is approaching! The Rest & Renewal with Marma Chikitsa and Essential Oils Workshop is extremely relaxing and rejuvenating, which is especially helpful during this busy time between the Holidays. This workshop gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself and restore your energy for the season and New Year! I invite you to sign up quickly because there are only two spaces left! See you on Saturday! Love, Hannelore
