Breath practices to calm the mind.
How to listen to the impulses and guidance of your own life force energy, both in the body and in life (aka on the mat and off the mat).
Moments of stillness in a seated position as well as moments of active and passive shapes and stretches.
Self-observation and reflection practices that can lead you toward a felt sense of ease, both in meditation and in life.

Meditation in Motion is available to every body – chair variations and/or simply visualizing with feeling may be utilized throughout. Everyone and everything is in!

Then, we’ll settle into a deliciously restful Yoga Nidra—guided meditation designed to calm your nervous system, improve sleep, and leave you feeling like you just had a spa day…in your own bed!
So grab your pillows, fluff your blankets, and let’s cozy-on-down. You’ll learn practical tools and float away feeling restored, informed, and ready to take on whatever peri/menopause throws your way.

Immune Boost: Healing Yoga Nidra POP-UP ONLINE
2025-10-27 20:00 - 21:15 | Dow Integrative Institute, 23 Maple St, Kent, CT, 06757, United States
As the seasons shift, our bodies often need a little extra care. Whether you’re feeling run down, fighting off a cold, or simply want to stay strong and resilient, this class is here to support you.
Join me for a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra infused with gentle Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help (JSJSH) tools—simple hand placements and breath practices that harmonize the body’s energy, ease cold symptoms, and naturally support your immune system. Think of it as acupuncture without needles—accessible, calming, and empowering.
Together, we’ll explore the JSJ “Antibiotic Flow” and other practical tools you can use anytime to boost vitality, find calm, and restore balance. The more you practice, the more effective they become.
After learning and applying these techniques, you’ll be guided into a nourishing Yoga Nidra—a meditative rest practice where the body relaxes deeply, the mind settles, and healing can unfold. Cozy up with your blankets and pillows and give yourself this gift of deep rest and immune support.
This class is open to everyone—no yoga experience needed. Simply come as you are, and leave with tools for greater resilience, calm, and wellbeing. Jin Shin Jyutsu is not a substitute for seeking support from Western medicine. It is used as a complement, and each person’s experience of JSJ is their own.

ONLINE Holiday Self-Care for Caregivers: Treat Yourself with Kindness
2025-11-23 15:30 - 16:45 | Dow Integrative Institute, 23 Maple St, Kent, CT, 06757, United States
“There are only four kinds of people in the world:
Those who have been caregivers.
Those who are currently caregivers.
Those who will be caregivers.
And those who will need a caregiver.”
— Rosalynn Carter
Caring for someone—whether a family member, friend, or in a professional role—can be deeply meaningful… and deeply draining, especially during the holidays when demands intensify. No matter how much love and devotion we bring, caregiving can take a real toll on our own well-being.
This gentle, restorative online class is designed to support you, the caregiver. Treat yourself to an hour and fifteen minutes of calm and renewal through time-tested practices that nurture both body and mind.
You’ll learn simple, evidence-based self-care tools to soothe your nervous system, ease tension, and reconnect with your own center. We’ll explore breathwork and Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help—an ancient Japanese, hands-on healing art used today in hospital integrative medicine programs. Non-invasive, soothing, and research-backed, it’s a method you can use anywhere, anytime. These hands-on tools will be infused into a deeply restful Yoga Nidra (guided meditation) session to restore balance and clarity. You’ll receive a recording to use anytime you need a moment of peace. You are invited to explore this practice lying in a recliner or bed, that’s how relaxing it is! Handouts, information and the Meet link will be sent to you prior to class.
This one-time online pop-up welcomes parents, grandparents, babysitters, and professional caregivers alike. If you can’t attend live, register anyway to receive the class recording and handouts.
Date: Sunday, November 23rd, 3:30–4:45 PM EST (afternoon rest time)
Exchange: $12.99 early bird, $19.99 after Nov. 20th — affordable and accessible.
