Help your senior pet feel more comfortable and calmer
Support joint health, relaxation, and immune function
Strengthen your bond through nurturing, intentional touch
Offer care in ways that are non-invasive, soothing, and easy to do at home

No prior experience is needed—just a compassionate heart and the desire to be of service to your aging animal friend.
Taught by Julianne Roshan Dow, Integrative Medicine Practitioner and Founder of the Dow Integrative Institute, this online class is open to all animal lovers and caregivers. The pet model for the online experience will be her dog, Bella Bella.
You’ll leave with confidence, calming techniques, and a deeper connection to your companion animal as they move through their golden years with grace.

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 ONLINE Yoga Nidra infused with gentle Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help (JSJSH) tools—simple hand placements and breath practices that potentially harmonize the body’s energy, ease cold symptoms, and naturally support your immune system. Think of it as acupuncture without needles—only our hands…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 effect it has.
This experiential self-healing time together is offered within 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 from the comfort of your bed.
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.

Testimonial:
I’ve had two online Yoga Nidra classes with Julianne, and I so look forward to more. Her energy is immaculate. Your left feeling like the calmest, sweetest puddle of goodness. She provides information about the session prior and makes sure her people are comfortable and know what is ahead and makes the process so simple. If you’re a fan of Yoga Nidra this is who you want to work with. The Jin Shin Jyutsu is a very cool additive as well. I hadn’t heard of it and it brings another level to the Nidra and its unlike anything I’ve experienced. I’m so grateful I found Julianne and I hope you find her as beautiful as well. 🙏💛 Samantha Richards

Knowledge is to make a life. Wisdom is to live a life.

It is our intention to empower you to impart this knowledge and practice to your students, integrating self-help into your yoga curriculum and into their lives. We will delve into Mary’s 3 Self-Help books together and practice these protocols in ‘real time’, like a yoga class.
This is a sitting and lying down practice, so be ready to sit in a comfy chair, lie on a yoga mat or bed nearby, and a quiet, relaxing space. We will meet starting Monday, May 4th from 4-6pm online until June 1st (excluding Memorial Day). We will start there and see where this takes us. You will be sent a Google Meet link that you will use every time. This is a no-cost class for you as I am researching how to best teach this curriculum to others with the added future benefit of a 20-30hr Yoga Alliance CEU credit training. I already have a 3 CEU credit course of the same topic. This class would be more extensive.
