Spring 2012 Classes

Facilitator: Tracy Goldenberg, MA, R-DMT, Somatic Psychotherapist, Registered Dance/Movement Therapist and Mind/Body Educator

Nia is a sensory-based movement technique that combines dance, yoga, and martial arts. It empowers people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Nia is intentionally crafted to guide participants to discover, explore, unleash, and enhance their individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life - by engaging their senses and listening to their bodies.

Facilitator: Carolyn Corbett, Founder and Executive Director of K9 c.a.r.e.s.

K9 c.a.r.e.s. is very proud to announce its collaboration with The Eating Disorder Foundation. As a modality for healing, this class generates conversation through the use of an experienced therapy dog/handler team. Dogs are often better at picking up on emotion, stress and anxiety better than anyone. They are supportive, non-judgmental, unconditional and they help heal hearts.

Spring 2012 Workshops

Facilitator: Elizabeth Di Biase, RD, Certified Wellness Coach, Certified Weight Management Counselor

Eat Like a Yogi teaches how to be mindful of, and grateful for, the foods we choose to eat and our body’s desire for balance through its hunger and fullness cues. This class will discuss Elizabeth’s “Real Food Philosophy” of choosing a variety of whole foods based on what our bodies need. Participants will learn to be more aware of how and when they eat so that the act of eating is satisfying, how they can assess their own hunger and fullness cues and how to engage all their sense when eating. This class will also include breathing and journaling exercises.
