Teen Girls emPOWERed Yoga Workshop
Treetop Yoga (3A Pond Rd, Gloucester) welcomes our local teen girls this Sunday for a specialty workshop. Teenage yoga is an excellent way to help your child deal with the overwhelming emotional and physical changes that she goes through during adolescence. This workshop will introduce girls to basic yoga poses and connect the poses through a fun flow. We will also find support from each other with partner poses and games. Finally, there will be a short conversation period to learn how to use either breathing techniques or the yoga practice to help calm the mind when girls face stressful moments in the classroom, on the playing field, or during everyday social interactions. Pre-register HERE.
“I was feeling really stressed out in math class the other day, but I pretended I was in Savasana at my desk, and it helped me finish my work. It was crazy. No one knew I was sitting there doing yoga!” ~ Seventh Grader, Salem Public Schools
Erin McKay is a former public middle school educator and mom to four children. She is a certified yoga teacher for Treetop Yoga and has received specialty training for kids yoga through Pretzel Kids Yoga and the Baptiste Foundation Unstoppable Program. She teaches tween and teen yoga through the Salem YMCA for the Salem Public Schools and has taught yoga in local Gloucester schools, the Sawyer Free Library, and for local sports teams. Erin has seen the value of yoga for her own children as a supplement to their sports activities and academic demands, but her experience with at risk youth has been most impactful in proving that this practice can offer kids of any age the opportunity to find calm through breath, mindfulness or movement.

Ayurveda
Do you have an imbalance happening with your health?
Let Ayurveda Wellness Healing help you determine the best treatment to bringing you and your health back to neutral.
Ayurveda believes that lack of proper cellular function, due to imbalance in the Vata, Pitta or Kapha levels are the cause of diseases. Diseases are also caused due to presence of toxins.
In Ayurveda, the mind and body and consciousness work together in maintaining balance.
Vata governs blinking, breathing, muscle and tissue movement, pulsation of heart, movements of cytoplasm and cell membranes. It promotes creativity and flexibility. When at an imbalance, Vata produces anxiety and fear.
Pitta governs activities such as digestion, absorption, assimilation, metabolism, and nutrition and body temperature. When in proper balance, Pitta promotes intelligence, and on the other hand, when out of balance Pitta triggers hatred, anger and jealousy.
Kapha is the energy that forms the basic structure of the body such as muscles, tendons and bones, and works like glue, holding cells together. Kapha helps in supplying water to all parts of the body, and lubricates joints, moisturizes the skin and maintains immunity. When under imbalance, Kapha could lead to greed, attachment and envy.

The drivers seat…
Taking control and being in the drivers seat can be scary.
We think the seas could get rough if we head out and explore so we play it safe and stay on land. Which is what we have been doing but can’t find our way to finding our true self.
Look closely, the sea is calm, the breeze but just a whisper and the sun is our compass.
You don’t need a boat to take control and leave the safety of land…you just need yourself. It’s called mediation.
So climb into your boat and head towards the sun, slowly, calmly with a smile on your face, and close your eyes. Oh and don’t forget to bring your breath along…inhale…exhale…repeat.
