Renee’s Spring Yoga Schedule

/in , /by

Renee’s Virtual Rejuvenation Yoga Schedule:

Are you feeling stressed or want to maximize your health and fitness just in time for the summer? Join our virtual yoga community! Our class is a fun combination of slow flow vinyasa with yin(poses held longer focused on alignment) and restorative yoga poses. The vinyasa flows are a great way to help with balance, strength, and conditioning and the yin and restorative poses allow you to open and stretch more deeply and fully relax and reduce stress. In addition, we sometimes add light weights for additional strength training, aerobic fitness, and bone health. The 6-week series is $100 or drop in when you are free for a single class for $22. All classes are recorded, and you get the replay if you miss one.

The spring session will run from May 18th through June  29th. The new class time is from 9-10 am. $100 for all 6 classes. Drop in for $22.

Women’s Empowerment Workshop: Kickstart The New Year! January 6, 7-8:30 PM EST

/in , /by
What I realized at the last half day women’s empowerment retreat that I hosted a few months ago, is that women love to be together to share ideas and support each other in community. It makes sense since many of us are ready to grow and move forward in our lives and celebrate who we are while moving towards our life purpose and actualizing to the next level. To this point, I decided to host a workshop for women who want to create their best lives in 2023, reach some new goals, and blossom.
Here is the agenda:
  • Movement to get your juices flowing (think yoga stretching, tai chi, free dance)
  • Guided meditation to help you manifest what you desire in 2023
  • Visualization and free writing to help you create your 2023 plan
  • Sharing with other like-minded sisters
January 6th is the first full moon in 2023. It is a Full Wolf Moon so join our pack and let’s do some howling together! The program is virtual so you can join from where ever you are. Investment is $35 before 12/31 and $40 after that. To register call (914) 760-7763 or [email protected]. Payment is through Venmo or Zelle.

Here is what clients are saying about Renee’s coaching program:

“I worked with Renee and her “Become Your Best Self” coaching program and was very pleased with the results and the life practices and tools I established through the work. I was “stuck” after the sudden death of a family member, last fall. When Renee told me about her coaching, it seemed like a perfect way to focus on my sadness, my lack of purpose, and to help me develop some good life practices. And it was! Renee was very deliberate in the themes of each session. It wasn’t traditional talk therapy but had elements of sharing that were empowering, and tools to help me work through old limiting beliefs. I got out of my “stuckness” and am feeling much more capable and positive and loving to myself. I really appreciated Renee’s approach, her support and the program overall. Thank you, Renee!” C.P.

“I started working with Renee to help with my food issues and fibromyalgia and after feeling much better continued to work with Renee through her coaching program. Her intuition and knowledge helped me put behind old limiting believes which ultimately led me to leave a toxic relationship and pursue a more fulfilling career. I developed much greater self-confidence and an ability to love and nurture myself.  I am so grateful for Renee’s help, kindness, and compassionate handling of my difficult life situation.” S.B.

“Thank you so much for everything you’ve helped me with and taught me. I could not be on this journey to wellness without you. Thank you for your patience and kindness as well. You are an incredible human. I am forever grateful!” – Sarah

Face What You Need to Change

/in , /by

This quote from James Baldwin really hit home for me. I have been having a few old health issues showing up recently. Whenever there is something challenging it is normal human behavior to try to ignore or hope it goes away. I did that for awhile, fully knowing that there was something deeper emotionally I had to look at. As a mind body practitioner, I truly believe that most physical problems also have a mind/emotional component. When we have a handle on the role the mind and emotions have on the body we can really go deeper into whatever is ailing us, and in many cases the problem will resolve.

I remembered a technique I learned in my Mindfulness Teacher Training class called dialoguing with a symptom or body part and decided to try it. The techniqe is simple. Take some breathes, relax completely and than connect to the part of you that needs support. Once you feel connected start dialoging asking questions such as “why are you there,” “what do you need to tell me,” “what do you need from me to feel better,” etc. After spending a few minutes practicing this technique I got a very strong story as to what the origin of the problem was and what I needed to do to feel better.

If you are struggling with an illness or a symptom of some sort and you have done the traditional medical approach and still not seeing any results, it may be time to look at something deeper. Healing is a complex process that usually needs time and multiple tools to help.

Feel free to contact me if you need help with this practice or any other mindfulness practices to get outside of your head and balance your body, mind and spirit.
