Animal Reiki Classes and Reiki Attunements for Animals Now Offered


T


wo Bear Herbs & Holistic Health has added an animal Reiki program to the 2011 class schedule along with Reiki attunements for your beloved animal companions. According to owner Susan J. Squittieri, “Anyone can learn to practice Reiki. It reduces stress and also promotes healing and a sense of well-being. Animal Reiki classes are for people who want to learn how to deepen their relationships with animals and learn practical ways to heal themselves and the animals in their lives.”


The animal Reiki program consists of four classes


that focus on self-treatment, treatment of other people, basic treatment of animals, distant healing treatments, and how to teach animal Reiki. An animal Reiki practi- tioner certification is awarded for each class.


“Our animal companions are natural healers and will often take on the stress or illness of their people,” says Squittieri. “A Reiki attunement will allow this loving service but without the possible draining of their own health and energy resources. It also helps them in their own healing process. Senior animals benefit greatly from a Reiki attunement; the healing properties of Reiki provide a sense of peacefulness.” Animal Reiki classes, Reiki attunements for animals, and animal Reiki sessions are offered at your home, barn or stable in the New York metropolitan area. Discounted rates are available for those who host a class.


Two Bear Herbs & Holistic Health is located at 99 Main Street, Nyack. For inquiries or to schedule a class, contact Susan at 845-512-8389, twobearherbs@yahoo.com or visit TwoBearHerbs.com. See ad, page 20.


Senior Yoga Comes to New City


B


eginning Monday, February 7, a senior yoga class will commence at Sanctuary Yoga Studios in New City. The one-hour classes are guided by senior yoga instructor Tatyana Kochergina and take place every Monday morn- ing at 10:30 a.m. Kochergina explains, “Yoga at any age is beneficial but especially so as we grow older and need to sustain our balance, strength and flexibility. Mobility


and independence are directly linked with your ability to move your body with ease and confidence.”


A typical senior yoga class will include learning different breathing techniques


to deepen breath, which increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream, the use of re- petitive patterns in movement, visualization techniques and meditation. Attendees may also find there are times of discussion and touch therapy. All classes are fully guided with different options to modify your movement as needed. “Yoga practice increases a person’s ability to focus for longer periods of time, to increase levels of patience and increases body awareness,” says Kochergina. “Yoga will increase movement in the spine and a healthy spine makes you feel young. You do not need experience to practice yoga; you need an open mind and heart.” Seniors can receive 10 percent off regular class prices or enjoy a new student special which includes 30 days of unlimited yoga for $40.
