Classes Offerings at Mountain Spirit Yoga Studio

I am pleased to announce that I will be giving classes in Middletown, Md this Autumn at www.mountainspirityoga.com.


“Hands on Health the Maya Way”

September 6, 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Fee: $100

Discover the wisdom of Maya traditional healing in recovering and maintaining the health of your reproductive, digestive and urinary systems. This work is helpful to so many “female” concerns. During this class you will learn about Dr. Rosita Arvigo, her apprenticeship with Don Elijio Panti and other healers from Belize. You will learn the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology as it relates to the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage (ATMAM), and of course, to specific health issues. I will teach you Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM) for your own Self Care. We will also identify situations in which practicing MAM would be contraindicated. If time permits we will experience a guided meditation, and discuss other modalities such as diet, lifestyle, herbal supports that support MAM.

If you would like to continue onto Professional Care Training after taking this class, I will give you a $50 credit toward taking the Professional Care Training with a class I have scheduled. Class Participants who attend this one-day class are not eligible to attend Professional Care Training; to attend Professional Care Training persons must attend a 3 day Self Care Workshop taught by a Certified Self Care Instructor and meet professional licensing qualifications. This One Day class is not eligible for continuing education units, participants do not receive continuing education units for attendance.
