Nia with Linda and Restorative Yoga Classes via Zoom Streaming Starts Thursday March 19 10:15 nia and 11:30 Restorative Yoga All Free!

 

slumdog graphicIMG_5059

Well, I’m sure it will be entertaining so you won’t want to miss seeing me dancing in my office.  Hopefully the technology gremlins will be in quarantine and not bothering us.

OK so here is how it works.  It will be easier for you if you download the Zoom client for meetings for a desktop or laptop, or the app for phones and tablets.

Click here for the link to download the client or the app

Then click on this link to bring you to the list of my Zoom meetings 

You will want to click on the Thurs. 10 am class.  Otherwise you will be all alone!

If you have downloaded the client/app, the meeting will open automatically in that interface.

If you have not downloaded the app/client, it should open in a web browser.

You can join early and sit in the waiting room.  I’m not sure what happens there, we’ll have to see.  I think you should be able to see everyone as they join.

I’ll leave the audio open till the class starts.  If I leave the audio on, it interferes with my audio and we can’t have that!  I’ll open it up at the end.  I believe if you need to get my attention, you can raise your hand.  It is an icon in the middle of the bottom of the screen. Again not sure exactly how that works in practice but we’ll see.  Such fun!

If you need any techie help, call me  617-851-2738  or email me at contact@niawithlinda.com

One silver lining, you can wear your outside shoes on your floor and there are no stairs.

So find some space in your isolation chamber, I mean your home.  Clear it out so you don’t kill yourself banging into a lamp or dresser.

We will survive this but things like steaming classes this will keep us together.  Sorry two song titles in one sentence, my bad.

Love to all and stay healthy,

Linda Wilkes

During This National Emergency, Dreamtime Wellness LLC Goes ‘Virtual’

“Caution, without panic,” is the directive of our national, state and local officials as well as our healthcare agencies, during this national emergency.
As we learn new information daily regarding the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic my utmost priority continues to be the health and safety of my patients and the greater community. While many of my clients are healthy, others fall into the ‘high risk’ category, as designated by the Centers of Disease and Prevention (CDC). After careful deliberation I decided to avoid seeing patients/clients/students in-person, in order to abide by the current ‘social distancing’ directive. This went into effect on March 16th, though I have not seen clients since 2.20.2020 due to travel, and then recovering at home since, from an injury sustained while ‘on retreat.’ I arrived home March 7th, to a different world.
Dreamtime Wellness™ offers education and services for relaxation, stress and pain management, so while this seems a prime reason for providing these services during this time of increased stress, providing them in-person, is not prudent at this time.
The health and safety of ‘all ‘ is of the utmost importance to me. This temporary closure of my physical office and in-person sessions/ classes is with your health, my health, and the health of all our families and communities in mind, especially the elderly, who are at highest risk of complications from this virus. The authorities have thus far indicated that “most people who contract the virus will have mild to moderate symptoms.” But, because of its contagious nature and no current vaccine, extreme measures are in order.
When it is deemed appropriate to do so, we will be back in the office offering sessions and classes, as well as offering home, hospice and hospital visits. In the meantime, I am making myself available as a resource to you and the community to assist with ‘relaxation and stress management’. I am offering ‘virtual’ services for support, while satisfying the ‘social distancing’ recommendation currently in place, in order to help keep you and everyone else healthy and safe.

Good Harbor Beach. Gloucester MA.

We are all in this together. And together, we will all get through this!
Be Calm. Be Kind. Be Cautious. Be Safe. Be Healthy.

Nia with Linda and Restorative Yoga Update: All Classes postponed at MAC and MAGMA due to Covid-19 Zoom streaming classes coming soon!

 

covid-19-coronavirus-dance-trend-funy_5bjw.1920Well this is a crazy mess isn’t it?  In light of our older, sorry, participants and in light of my immunosuppressed husband coming home tomorrow, I need to postpone classes at both MAC and MAGMA.  But we need to dance and move so…

Luckily I am a techie so I’m working on a way to stream classes via ZOOM.

I’m awaiting a new mic from Amazon to arrive on Wednesday and I’m test driving the Zoom platform. My church just did a service on the same platform and it worked pretty well so we may be in luck.

I’m planning on streaming classes at the same days and times unless you want me to change that.  Let me know.

If you want a reason to continue dancing, check out this site with an article entitled “COVID-19 may be causing fear worldwide, but people are lifting their spirits up through dance”  Some funny and informative dance videos from other countries including a bollywood esque hand washing dance scene at a train station.

If you want to participate in the Restorative Yoga classes, scour you house for cushions and pillows and blankets and we will see what we can do.

So stay tuned and go and download the Zoom app, it’s free, so you are ready to dance or restore when I get it together.

For desktop PCs, mac or pc,  the link to the app (Zoom Client for Meetings) is here

For PC mobile devices  click here

For apple mobile devices click here

I’m hoping for a test session on Thursday.  Fingers crossed.

Any questions on anything, please call or email me but don’t visit 🙂

Stay healthy and safe,

Social Distancing: Caution without panic, to prevent the spread of disease

Local, State and Federal Governments Recommend ‘Social Distancing’ to decrease the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Massachusetts currently has the 4th highest # of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States. As of March 14th, there were five (confirmed or presumptive) cases in Essex County. The vast majority of those contracting the virus will have mild to moderate cold or flu-like symptoms.Some will have more serious illness. Minimizing spread of the virus and maintaining hand hygiene, other recommendations and healthy lifestyles are important. If you develop symptoms, call your primary care physician. 

‘Social distancing’ means “remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet or 2 meters) from others when possible.” “Mass gatherings” is defined differently by different states. In the state of Massachusetts, gatherings of 250 or more are currently not recommended. In many instances. Many schools have closed and some businesses are having employees work from home whenever possible. Click on this link for more information on the importance of social distancing. 

Choose your news from reliable sources, stop the rumors and avoid panic.

Below is More Information from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention:

Preventive Measures:

As a means of preventing transmission of any respiratory infection, please practice the following activities:

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; Hand washing etiquette
  • Frequently clean common touchpoint surfaces, including but not limited to electronics, door knobs, and countertops;
  • Avoid sharing food utensils, containers, and other personal items;
  • Distance yourself from someone who appears sick;
  • Stay home from work if you are sick; and,
  • Etiquette for Coughing and Sneezing

“Older people, especially those with underlying health issues and compromised immune systems are more at risk. Early data suggest older people are twice as likely to have serious COVID-19 illness. In addition, people of all ages, with or without disabilities, seem to be at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19 if they have serious chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease.”

Reducing exposure is especially important for people at higher risk of complications!

If you are at higher risk, CDC recommends that you:

  • Stay at home as much as possible if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
  • Make sure you have access to several weeks of medications and supplies in case you need to stay home for prolonged periods of time. CDC has great resources to help you plan.
Recommendations for Businesses from the Public Health Department and OSHA

Key Facts of the Coronavirus (CORVID-19) from the CDC

More information from the CDC. Information is changing rapidly, even daily and in some instances even more frequently; Stay up-to-date and informed through reliable sources like the ones mentioned here and through your local town, city and state public officials.

Remember, kindness and patience go a long ways during times of crisis! Take good care of yourself, and one-another.

Social distancing?
if you are healthy, you can still get out and take a walk at the beach to relieve stress. Just follow the recommended (6 feet) social distance. Enjoy exercise, healthy fresh air, sunshine, and the sound of the sea at the beach. Or spend some time in your yard and garden, take a walk on the boulevard or in the woods, and enjoy all the benefits from being out in nature.
