If the competitiveness of a gym takes you out of your "Comfort Zone".
If you've tried all the "diet" fads with no luck. This is a perfect program for you.
Ed & Wendy team up with Kim & Terrel to deliver a weight loss program at a time when both men and women's weight has reached unhealthy levels in this country. This is a life-changing program designed for folks who are struggling with traditional weight loss programs and are ready to heal. The program is designed to meet your needs wherever you are in your journey toward bringing health and fitness to your life.
Honor yourself as you embark on your journey to take back your health naturally and organically. We have put together a state-of-the-art program that combines:
1) The ancient healing power of Kripalu Yoga. Yoga is a wonderful form of movement for weight loss. It allows you to use your own bodyweight as you move and hold yourself in postures building muscle strength and flexibility.
2) Indoor non-competitive cycling and power walking for your cardiovascular system to increase your heart rate. We'll teach you how to move at a safe pace for your body and use breathing techniques to enhance your workout without creating injury and additional stress to your body.
3) Proper breathing techniques for healing as well as meditations on cravings, depression, anger and resentments.
4) An Ayurvedic approach. According to Ayurveda, we are born perfect. It is lifestyles, influences, relationships and habits that are incompatible with one's constitution (or body type) that takes us out of that perfection. There are 3 different constitutions. Understanding yours will help you to understand your body's needs with food and exercise.
Each member will participate in an Ayurvedic Workshop to learn the fundamentals of this ancient "science of life", a private Ayurvedic Consultation to learn more about your body and it's overall health at this point in time and support along the way.

Proper combinations of exercise to strengthen your body

Kim's Bio. After my first years of college, I began to look for a career in which I would feel like I was making a difference in the world each day. Like a bolt of lightning, it struck me-massage therapy. I attended Praxis College of Health Arts and Sciences in 1997 to train in massage and hydrotherapy. During the two year training I was first introduced to Thai massage, and I fell in love. After several years of practice in the massage field I was drawn to further my career with yoga teacher training at Kripalu Center. It was at Kripalu that I found my next great love in ayurvedic bodywork. It was no surprise when I realized that these two had common roots. I completed the Kripalu School of Ayurveda in 2006, and added ayurvedic consultations to my work at Kripalu. After almost a decade of practice in the healing arts, I traveled to India and Thailand in 2007 to complete more advanced training and to meet the motherlands of my two great loves. I currently travel and teach with my partner, Terrel, to spread the healing power of massage, yoga, and Ayurveda.
Terrel's Bio. My experience in the healing arts started with myself in 1992 when I started exploring healing my emotional state through nutritional cleansing. For over 10 years i was a nutritional consultant. During this time, in 1997, I was trained as a Kripalu yoga teacher, and currently have a professional yoga teaching certification. The next year I added massage therapy, followed by thai massage, and then a degree in herbal medicine to compliment my consulting. In 2001, a year after my initial Thai massage training with Jonas Westring, I traveled to Thailand to train with his teacher, Pichet Boonthamme. After walking away with a rich experience and deeper confidence in myself and my potential as a Thai bodyworker, I began to integrate Thai massage into Whole Being Therapy, my creative expression of what healing arts can be. In 2005, I trained with Paul Cramer, a teacher from the Lotus Palm School of Thai Yoga Massage, and in 2006 I graduated from the Kripalu School of Ayurveda. My practice also includes Ayurvedic massage and consultations. In 2007 I returned to Thailand for another experience with Pichet and I ventured to India for advanced Ayurvedic trainings. I currently travel and teach with my partner Kim, and I look forward to offering the gifts of Thai massage and Ayurveda to all those interested in these amazing healing arts.
