Restorative Yoga for Deep Relaxation (Yoga Bhoga - 1028 SE Water Ave. #265)

2009-11-12T13:11:56-08:00

Restorative Yoga for Deep Relaxation

A Yoga Workshop with Amy Armstrong

Saturday, December 5
2-4 p.m. $25

at Yoga Bhoga
1028 SE Water Ave. #265
Portland OR

�Learning to relax is at the heart of living well.�- Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T.

Restorative yoga is a delicious antidote to the stresses of our hectic modern lives.
It is a deeply nurturing, quiet practice. In this workshop, we will use props to fully support our bodies in a series of reclining postures. We will hold each pose for 10-20 minutes in order to receive the full benefits of the relaxation response. All levels welcome.

About the teacher:

Amy first experienced yoga in 1996, taking classes in Classical Hatha, Kripalu and Power Yoga. After moving to California in 2001, she landed at Sacred Movement Center for Yoga and Healing, where she immersed herself in the practice of transformational, heart-centered vinyasa yoga, studying with master teachers Max Strom, Saul David Raye, Shiva Rea and Erich Schiffman. Amy�s passion for the yoga tradition also led her to study Sanskrit and yoga philosophy at Loyola Marymount University.

*YOGA NIDRA!***** (NE Alberta)

2009-11-12T08:44:25-08:00

Recline back and be verbally guided through "yogic sleep" to release accumulated tension in mind and body. Yoga nidra guides us into a "threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, where contact with the subconscious and unconscious occurs spontaneously." A 45 minute yoga nidra practice is the equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep! When we learn how to authentically relax, our true nature is spontaneously revealed. It is a life transforming practice. You are not physically moving for the practice.

Private Partner Dance Classes (SE Portland )

2009-11-11T14:15:51-08:00

Do you need to learn to dance fast? Do you feel like you have two left feet? Do you need an instructor who really listens? Would you like to get more from a dance lesson than just, "left foot forward, right foot back."?

My name is Rebecca Bishop, and I've been instructing in Ballroom, Latin, Salsa, Swing and Country Western for 13 years. I competed in the Latin division for 7 years and am certified to instruct by the I.S.T.D. (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance). I have just recently moved to the Portland area from California and opened a new dance studio in the Sellwood area.

I charge $75 for a lesson but deliver $150 worth of instruction. If you're looking for value in a lesson, where you learn about dance so that you really CAN do it, you've come upon the right ad. The best I offer during a lesson is in quality of instruction, understanding, patience and results. If this sounds good to you, then give me a call.

I'm only a phone call away for you to take the next step in your dancing.

Exotic Dance Workout Class (Portland/Beaverton/Salem)

2009-11-11T14:02:11-08:00

The Exotic You

Exotic Dance Workout Class

http://www.TheExoticYou.com

Ladies Only..18 and over

One hour class unlike no other you have experienced. This is not your usual strip aerobics class. We teach genuine stripper moves and then give you a workout designed to strengthen and stretch the body parts that make these moves super sexy. We then incorporate mini "dances" that you can take home and practice. Before you know it, you will look and feel like the sexy woman you know that you are!

Your body, mind and soul will love you for adding this class to your exercise routine. Be prepared to sweat, laugh and learn a few tricks that will just make you giggle and say, "Damn, I am hot!". This is for all ages, sizes and body types. We are all sexy Ladies so no negative body talk allowed.

What To Wear?

We suggest long workout pants and a sexy top. I prefer to wear a low V neck sport top or a tight fitting scoop neck tee. It's important that you can see your curves. You may be a little uncomfortable with this at first, but trust me..you will be happy you slipped on that top that shows off your cleavage. So, no baggy pants and budwieser tee's allowed!

It is very cool to experience this class in heels. I know, it sounds strange but trust me again..you will be glad you did. I have a few pair available as loaners and limited sizes for sale for only $30.00. You are welcome to bring your own heels or go barefoot.

No need to sign up. Just drop on in! this is an extremely welcoming and open class. It's a place where every woman fits in and is allowed to be herself.

Diva Den Studio wants to "Adopt a Family"

We understand times are tough right now. I've been tossing some ideas in my head about how the studio can help those in need this holiday season. One idea that kept popping in my head was to adopt a family in need.

Do you know someone that's fallen on hard times? Maybe they or a child got sick and they have lots of medical bills. Maybe the lost their job? They have a hard time putting food on the table, much less buying gifts for Christmas or Chanukah. Whatever the reason, if you know a family that could use a little extra joy this holiday season, we'd like to help! Growing up poor, I understand the need and really feel for these kids.

Please email us a letter stating why we should choose your friend or family member. Please include children's first names, ages, clothing sizes and possibly a wish list. (Also what holiday they celebrate). Both yours and the families contact information. We will then randomly choose a family to "adopt" this season! We will then run our very "wish list" drive for this family and deliver the goods before the holidays!

Happy November!

Weight Weighing You Down? (Close-in S.E.)

Classes are now being scheduled....

�By the age of 30 I�d achieved a peak of 311 pounds and numerous tragic health and emotional consequences from my compulsive eating. The knowledge that I absolutely must change my behavior, coupled with the belief that I was incapable of it, resulted in constant conflict and turmoil. While surrounded by marketing for every diet and fitness approach imaginable, I knew that these were not real solutions. Yet I saw no other answer in sight. When I found Beyond Compulsion, I knew this approach was different. It isn�t about distraction, willpower, and deprivation. It�s about facing compulsive behavior with tools
that bring real change in thought, feeling and action.

Now at 228 pounds and dropping, I�m experiencing many incredible benefits�freedom, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that I have everything I need to remain free from compulsive eating and all the consequences of that thinking and behavior. I am immensely grateful and I hope many others find freedom in this intelligent approach.�

"A well organized leader and a wonderful group of ladies!" - Anonymous Member

"I am so thrilled that their is an FMS/CFIDS Group starting in Tigard where I live :)! The more people that will join "our" group, the more we will learn. Hopefully, each of us, will be able to help others, even if it is only to reassure them, they can call & talk when they are having a bad "Fibro Day."

Tthere is more recognition of FMS, (mostly from Drug Companies) but people just don't get it, that if you "look" well, how could you possibly be sick. I stopped telling people because I am tired of hearing that response.

SHARING KNOWLEDGE IS INVALUABLE!!!!!!

Stay out of the FOG & I look forward to meeting new friends.

Gently,
JoAnne" - Anonymous Member

"Good source of information about our illnesses and coping strategies, along with emotional support." - Anonymous Member

"Others should join because we all can learn and gain resources from each other, and relieve the isolation. No matter how miserable, try to join and go. Plus it will make the doctors stand up and take notice. This is a fantastic group, and I wish I knew about it (if it existed) 2years ago... Also, the more members,the more funding for events. Thank You Lisa!" - Anonymous Member

"Our group is vitally alive. Varied activities, and a chance to meet others who understand. Isolation is a symptom too of these syndromes, so it is so nice to meet such other wonderful people, afflicted, like me." - Anonymous Member

Praying the Body --The Practice of InterPlay as Soulwork

Sunday, November 15, 2009 � 2-5 pm
at Oregon School of Massage
9500 SW Barbur Blvd, Suite 100

No words? Seeking peace? Want a practice that aims for joy? Wonder how motion and emotion relate? Curious about moving your mind to a open place?

Author, teacher, and InterPlay cofounder, Cynthia Winton-Henry introduces InterPlay as a resource for spirit-centered living. InterPlay practices develop ease in movement, voice, stillness, and telling stories.

Workshop participants will practice one-hand dances, one-breath songs, hand-to-hand movement with a partner and thirty-second stories about light hearted and meaningful topics. The benefit of reflection, stillness, and affirmation creates a soulful place to discover, discern, and welcome the wisdom of our personal and universal body.

Co-facilitated by Cassandra Sagan, a Portland poet, teacher, singer/songwriter, performer, and InterPlay Leader who has worked with adults and children for over 25 years helping them to access their full creative brilliance. Cassandra is bringing InterPlay to Portland!

For registration and information, contact Cassandra: 503/292-7044 or cassandra@ukemama.com.

$40-$25 sliding scale

someone forgot to mention, change is hard. (lake oswego oregon)

2009-11-10T11:48:51-08:00
You ever get the feeling someone forgot to mention, change is hard. That�s exactly what Sharon Ehlmann felt which compelled her to write her first book coincidently titled, �someone forgot to mention, Change is HARD� subtitled, �Facing Fear and Change from a Mind of an Entrepreneur.�

During the Presidential 2008 election, the author recounts Obama advocating, "We want change...change ...change," and people responding, "Yeah, we want change, we want change." Now that change is here its like, "Wow! Ouch! Change is HARD!" In her book, "someone forgot to mention, Change is HARD" the author poses as the reader�s �Guardian Angel� helping face the changes happening today.

In her book, the author�s voice talks to three audiences at once: the experienced leader, the �wanna-be� leader and even those who don�t want to lead. If your among the �I don�t want to lead crowd�; she urges you to please carefully discern who you follow, but know you can be a cheerleader. Yes, she is not letting you off the hook. Cheering and supporting people who are taking risk is so desperately needed today; and in the current climate, cheering the risk takers takes courage. The author challenges you to help turn the tide from the witch hunts of attacking fellow citizens to cheering the good in others. Movements are contagious. Positive movements create a challenge for us and others to do more for ourselves, our family, and our community. Know that they are your fellow leaders and mentors, and please support them.

The author also urges the experienced leader and the business community to �paying it forward� in the BUSINESS COMMUNITY CHALLENGE; giving tribute to those who have helped you along the way by helping someone else today. As she see it, those who understand the American Dream as the opportunity to pursue your dreams need to teach and show the concept to someone else who doesn�t; even if it is one person. �We can�t just tell them, we need to show them that it is for everyone.� If you don�t know how, buy them this book! If we want to save the American Dream, it has become our job to teach it or being backed in a corner financially she�s afraid many will export their Dreams; losing many of America�s greatest assets, our DREAMERS.

And finally the �wanna-be� leaders, this book is for you. Sharon wrote this book because there are too many people out of work. Many are very experienced and talented but there are just not enough jobs. It�s time for more leaders. As she sees it, if we want to save America as it was founded, we need to plant the seeds to grow more American Dreamers.

This book is not focused in how to start and run a business; there are plenty of books out there doing that. �someone forgot to mention, Change is HARD� is different. Like any master carpenter or anyone in the finish trades knows � it is the prep work that is the most important. Many times, it seems to be the missing component for the novice risk taker. But if you look at it like you�re going to jump out of an airplane, you�ll quickly realize that it�s the preparation that is most essential. This book is all about the prep work for an entrepreneur: teaching the qualities of leadership and the mindset a good leader develops which will have you coping better and maybe even thriving in hard times. The author�s approach to learn the prep work is through example. By dissect an entrepreneur�s mind we can see the strategies in coping with fear and change. As you could imagine, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders face fear and change daily. When you learn to think like them, you�ll make a change by leading your own life.

She talks about peeling away the layers of her thoughts was like peeling an onion and mentally exhausting, unsure of what old hurts or fears the author would face in the self discovery process. Asking the questions, �What is it about me that I take risk with no fear and a CAN DO attitude when the world around me was sometimes unsupportive.� Thinking back, the author discovered it was do in large part from her favorite childhood book her father read to her often titled, �The Little Engine that Could.� Where the little train engine climbed a steep hill, chanting �I think I can, I think I can, I think I can� all the way up the hill. When nearing the top exclaims, �I can, I can.�

She notes the most important lesson to teach is also the hardest. That is, how to lose the "victim mentality." If you lead while feeling like a victim, it defines vindictiveness. That is dangerous and ugly.

She urges, Do it now! Heroes and leaders are born when they act under existing conditions. Even if thing are bad, it�s all about attitude. You can laugh, cry or kick the dog � laughing is more fun and you are the new leader.

The reader will discover the first step is to have more faith than fear. She starts the first Chapter of this book where many people are at today, focusing on their weakness. She quickly gives some insight why most problems don�t resolve themselves and what questions need to be asked before you can move forward. But more importantly, she has us look at accepting our weakness and reveals how that is the key to loving yourself. After we accept ourselves as we are, then we can look into the first steps of leadership: FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

Her goal is to teach the reader how to become a purposeful leader and follow their own dreams all with childlike fearlessness. Make a change, be a leader!

After you read this book, the author/ entrepreneur, Sharon Ehlmann, can continue to help you in your quest through on-line workshops or individual consultation. call 503-317-7714 or copy/paste www.changeishardbooks.com

Whittle That Waist!~*~* HOOPNOTICA! ~*~* Learn to Hoop! (Diva Den Studio)

2009-11-09T00:16:51-08:00

Hoopnotica is Here...

Learn Hoop from the 2008 Female Hooper of the Year!

Get ready to laugh, sweat and have some fun! As Megan (Female Hooper of the Year) takes you through the curriculum step by step, at your own pace. Before you know it, you will be moving gracefully, and incorporating your own style. No matter what your level, you are sure to get a great cardiovascular workout.

So have a bottle of water nearby, because you are going to need it.

Hoopnotica® Hoopdance is all about movement and your clothing should allow freedom for that. We have found that the best thing to hoop in is stretchy jeans,

yoga pants, or other natural fiber material. Slim fitting sleeveless tops are essential for upper body work as bare skin is nature's best grip. Try not to wear synthetics such as nylon or rayon, as the hoop tends to slip, making the learning process more difficult.

Venue:
Mahasiddha Kadampa Buddhist Center
3635 SW Hood Avenue, Portland, 97239 (directions)

Prayers for World Peace and Dharma for Kids

Sundays 10:30 - 11:45am

Without inner peace in the minds of living beings, outer peace is impossible. Start the week off right by learning to increase and maintain a happy, positive mind. Everyone is welcome to join us for an inspirational talk, special prayers and guided meditation to create peace inside of people's hearts and therefore, the world. Every week we make special prayers and dedications for people around the world.

Learn the art of relaxation and stress-release and discover the far-reaching benefits derived from all aspects of Buddhist meditation.

Beginners and people of all faiths are very welcome anytime! Each class includes two guided meditations, a talk, and chanted prayers.

While adults enjoy guided meditations, a talk, and chanted prayers inside of the meditation room, kids explore a spiritual theme in the common area. Activities include a spiritual topic, free play, story time and arts and crafts. Experienced Dharma students teach the classes.

The kids� class is held at the same time as �Prayers for World Peace� (our Sunday morning general program class). This class is especially suitable for families, giving parents a chance to meditate and hear the ancient methods that Buddha taught which enable us to have a deeper experience of inner peace in our daily lives, while kids learn about topics such as loving- kindness and cherishing others in their own class.

Everyone is welcome!

Meditation Classes

Each of these classes is self-contained and includes guided meditation, a talk, and questions and answers. Everyone is welcome regardless of belief or previous experience.

General Program Classes ~ Meditation for Everyone

Our introductory classes provide you with tools for dealing with problems, such as stress and fear, and replacing them with positive minds, such as patience and love.

Each class includes two guided meditations, a talk on how to use Buddha's teachings to find inner peace and an opportunity to ask questions. Although each class is taught as part of a series, it is also self contained, so new comers are always welcome.

Cost: $10 per class. No pre-registration required, and no one is turned away due to lack of funds.

Reclaim Creative Passion: Paint to Explore and Find Freedom (SE Portland)

2009-11-06T20:37:18-08:00

Imagine painting from a place of freedom, a place of awe and discovery, a childlike place. Become a traveler and experience painting as a spiritual journey into the unknown, a place where wonderful, healing, and mysterious happenings occur!
In a recent story shared with me a young 7 year old boy remarked when asked, �what if you didn�t have to know how to paint it? What if you could invent it for yourself?� His response, � then every painting you could bring to life!."

Artspace offers classes and workshops for those seeking to reclaim their creative passion. People come for many reasons, some believing they are not creative and thus fearful, while for others it is a sense of feeling "uninspired or blocked" in their work. Process painting offers an opportunity to challenge those beliefs and to open to creative exploration and flow. It is about sensing, being, and seeing, while learning to let go of planning, thinking, and judging. This allows you the opportunity to simply enjoy the journey and the magic of the creative process.

What if it didn't matter what other people thought?

What if you didn't have to know how to paint?

What if you couldn't make a mistake?

Fall Schedule at artspace

The Fall schedule will begin the week of September 7th on Tuesday morning September 8th. Both the Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening classes will return with the option of adding additional class times if needed.

Tuesday morning 10-1 and Wednesday evening 6-9
6 Week Class Series: $200.00
8 Week Class Series: $240.00

Classes series will resume back to consecutive classes. If you are aware at the time of registration of the need to miss a week during the series that you are registering for then the class can be added on at the end. Otherwise missed classes must be made up during the 6 or 8 week period with the option of coming to class on the alternate day as space allows. Register soon to reserve your space. Rolling admission so new students added as space allows.

Special offer: Bring in someone new to the studio who signs up for a class series and take $20.00 off the cost of your next series.

Weekend Workshops:

Half day workshops, 1-5p.m., $40.00
New! Special Half Day Workshop: In the spirit of process painting, I will be continuing to offer some half day workshops as they seem to be a great way for newcomers to the studio to jump in and embrace creative exploration. Just as in process painting the focus will be on the exploration and freedom. With music for a backdrop we will paint together and alone. You will have the opportunity to paint in a place free of judgment and to challenge yourself to try new things while you risk bringing your images to life!
This is a wonderful opportunity for both beginners and ongoing students to bring and keep creativity alive in a safe environment. Just as in other process painting classes and workshops I will be available to intervene, teach, and challenge your process if needed.

November 14th, December 12th

Hope that you all had a wonderful Summer and I look forward to seeing many of you this Fall.

Awaken to the passion of the creative journey in a safe and supportive environment. A studio where we are all �beginners� and fellow travelers on a wonderful journey of exploration

We've been offering quality improv classes in Portland for 14 years, and we practice what we preach in every Brody show.

Qualified, experienced instruction, supportive atmosphere, and free admission to most Brody shows for all students.

Our November session is full. The Winter Tuesday night session starts January 12 2010, and enrollment for that is open now. Seven two-hour class sessions. Cost for Fundamentals is $165. (but there's a $150 early enrollment price available through Dec 31). Get enrolled early to save money and ensure your spot in this class.

If you can't be at the first session, or are seeing this notice after we have started the class, we do accept new students as late as week 2 if there is room. But our last three sessions have filled completely so we strongly recommend early enrollment.
