Nia is designed for everyone! You do not need to have any experience in dance, fitness or martial arts to enjoy Nia and benefit from it. There are three levels of intensity in Nia dance, so that you can jump and dance in whatever way your body chooses.

It is ageless and limitless, transformational and effective for all people everywhere, from athletes, dancers and fitness instructors, to children, special needs groups and the elderly.

During this session, we will dance together, laugh together and build a connection with each other, our inner self and the world around.

The classes will be facilitated by Jane Markowitz, Nia Black Belt holder.

Dear friends!

Lately we try to be active and productive, and already have planned another meet-up for you!

The other reason though is that we want to see you again, especially those of you who couldn’t make it to our last meet-up session on cardiac exercises.

This time, we will host a lecture about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other musculoskeletal problems.

For those of you, who work at the computer for the majority of the day and experience musculoskeletal issues, this lecture would be very beneficial. 

It will be facilitated by our lovely physiotherapist Ali Aminlari, whom some of you had a pleasure meeting during our previous meet-ups.

This lecture will cover:

1) Musculoskeletal problems and repetitive stress injuries,2) Headaches and fatigue: practical tips to prevention and cure (very important!),

AND

3) Overview of modern and innovative physiotherapy devices.

I hope to see you all there!

Also, I will be more than happy to share my success story on curing carpel tunnel syndrome only after 10 sessions of physiotherapy.

Take care!

Introduction to the 8 Weeks Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program 

The program consists of 8 sessions, lasting between 1.5-2 hours and focuses on letting go of resistance towards life challenges and building resilience to stressful stimuli.

What does really cause pain in our lives? Most would think that it is something happening around that negatively affects us (that nosy neighbor on the street, that car that run me over today, that government increasing taxes, etc.)

But mindfulness states the opposite: what actually causes stress and pain in our lives is a resistance!

Have you ever wondered how it is like to live a life without resistance? Can you only imagine being resilient to physical pain, or that unpleasant feedback given at work, or that painful word said to you by a family member? It is all possible!

Mindfulness can help us drastically change our stereotypical/conditioned reactions to the outside world and bring joy to our relationships.

Current research on Mindfulness shows evidence that this practice can not only reduce stress, but also change the brain "wiring" and help people become happier!

Check out this brief video on Mindfulness and research done by Professor and neuroscientist Richard Davidson.

Please join us for this wonderful experience on Mindfulness Meditation.

The cost of the course is 250$ for 8 sessions.

The sessions will be hosted by Lou Carcasole, B.Cs, M.B.A., M.Ed.

Rediscover the Joy of Healthy Being: Invitation

 Invitation: To Rediscover the Joy of Healthy Being

 The ART of LIFE Community Health Centre,  February 7, 2014

The ART of LIFE Community Health Centre

Welcomes you 

To Rediscover the Joy of Healthy Being

Friday, February 7, 2014
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm


The pressures of daily living — a busy schedule, the demands of work, inadequate family or personal time, not enough rest, environmental challenges — can lead to a life thrown out of balance, a disturbance of our natural equilibrium. 

More than 30 years ago, Nikken founder Isamu Masuda recognized that wellness depends on recognizing and sustaining what he named the 5 Pillars of Health® — Healthy Body, Mind, Family, Society and Finances. A balanced approach to living strengthens each of these pillars, and results in a more satisfying, healthy and rewarding lifestyle. Nikken offers you the means to attain this balance, through Nikken products and the Nikken business opportunity.

Air Wellness® Technology
Air Wellness Technology combines multistage filtration (including a state-of-the-art ULPA filter), negative-ion generation and a unique system that operates without producing ozone, a toxic gas that is an unfortunate byproduct of other air systems. Only Air Wellness products offer all these features in combination.
 
Far-Infrared Technology
Nikken Far-Infrared Technology features specially-made, ceramic-reflective fibers that absorb energy from multiple sources — sunlight, room temperature, body heat — and reflect that energy only within the far-infrared range of the spectrum. It's a solution that provides gentle, natural warmth yet releases excess heat, to afford comfort at all times in a wide range of ambient conditions.
 
Negative-Ion Technology
Negative-Ion Technology — also referred to as Ionic Comfort Technology in some Nikken products — makes use of materials or processes that produce negative ions, which are charged oxygen atoms or molecules. High amounts of these ions are found in certain settings, such as forests and near waterfalls. Scientists have long studied the relationship between negative ions in the air and human comfort.
 
Full-Spectrum Light Technology
Full-Spectrum Light Technology approximates sunlight and is used to supplant conventional artificial lighting, which can provide only a partial and uneven portion of the normal spectrum of light waves. Research suggests that exposure to full-spectrum light may be effective in helping maintain natural circadian rhythms, the cycle of sleeping and waking. Other benefits include a reduction in glare and flicker effect as well as decreased energy requirements.

Kenzen® Wellness Organic-Based Nutrition
Nikken Kenzen Wellness Organic-Based Nutrition is designed to bring the daily diet closer to nature. Each ingredient in the program is carefully selected and where possible the organic content is maximized. The Nikken concept of Whole Body Renewal includes a Core System to help meet daily needs, and modules that offer support for specific biological activities: gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, immune, skeletal.

PiMag® Water Technology
PiMag Water Technology begins with a high-tech, multiple-stage filtration system based on natural materials to clean water without chemicals. It adds Nikken magnetic technology and ceramic elements that impart minerals to produce pi water, known in Asia for decades. The result is a unique water system that is more environmentally sound, more cost-effective and more practical than commercially bottled water.
