Robin Nichols, who has decades of
training and experience in this special form of interactive meditation,
called Dyads, leads our intermittently scheduled meditation sessions. 
In the past, we have focused on "Saucha", the first of the Niyamas,
which is the personal practice of purification of body, mind, speech and
behavior.  Participants were amazed at their results!  Another recent
focus was "Love".  Participants find the process simple and yet
profound, transformative, illuminating and useful.

MyoFascial Release helps improve the condition of the fascia, the body's connective tissue. Since fascia does not show up on Xrays, its influence on health was not readily understood before this technique was developed. John Barnes, a physical therapist with sports injuries developed MyoFascial Release in the 80's because traditional physical therapies were unable help him. It involves deep tissue pressure and movement, and can include Cranio-Sacral Therapy (see below).

Kathy blends MyoFascial work with Iyengar Yoga to help the body more fully release non-beneficial patterns. Her technique includes re-educating her clients so they understand and participate in correcting their alignment.This whole approach results in the very best gains for the client, in the most cost-effective way.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy balances the cerebro-spinal fluid system. Using a subtle sensitive touch on the bones of the cranium and the sacrum, this therapy induces deep states of calm and relaxation, removing many body complaints. Cranio Sacral Therapy was developed by a brilliant osteopath Dr. John Upledger at Michigan Stateat Michigan State University in the 1970's, and is one of the new types of bodywork available today.
