If you are interested in seeing more, show some support in the comments, perhaps we can request a local screening and make an event of it.

“9 News” reported on a Yoga program to complement talk therapy at Denver Children’s Home. Watch the segment below or see it on their site here.

Fellow Kripalu Yoga teacher, Ronnie Oster-Falkenburg will be a presenter at Kripalu this summer in the Anita McFarlane program, Kid’s Summer Fun, July 20 - 25th! Yay Ronnie!

Ronnie has been a volunteer assistant in Kid’s programs at Kripalu for quite some time. It seems to be the perfect fit for her. In her own words,

“We will do yoga, art, theatre games, swimming, dress up and have lots of fun-
maybe some guided fantasy with art combos (I like to do those - yoga
nidras for kids with art following).”

Ronnie also shared with me that she has been hired by the Friendship Circle to teach yoga to
children who have challenges and their average buddies for next year.

How exciting - way to go, Ronnie!

I often end my classes with gentle head traction which is lengthening the cervical spine by carefully lifting the students head away from the floor, inviting a slight tip up of the chin and dab of China Gel on the back of their neck.

Most days students will excitedly ask after class, “What was that?!” followed by “Where can I buy it?”

China Gel is a topical pain reliever with active ingredients that include, menthol, camphor and lavendar. The result is a tingly sensation on the skin that wams and softens the muscles as well as a relaxing and refreshing aromatherapy.

China Gel was formulated by a chiropractor. The unique blend of ingredients will soothe tired muscles, relieve aches and pains, and the well balanced blend of aroma’s leaves you feeling open and inspired.

Preliminary research indicates that when China Gel is massaged into tight or sore muscles for five minutes or more, the body begins to release endorphins that not only relieve pain but stimulate healing in the body.

Dew Yoga is now distributing China Gel.

4 oz Jar China Gel $14.00
8 oz. Jar China Gel $28.00

Call Jen 524-2919 to pre-order, the first shipment should arrive by the end of the week. Or stop by the studio next week to purchase.

Prices above include CT sales tax. Cash or check only please.
