Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy can teach you to feel safe in your body and help you find a way back into an embodied self. An effective form of stress management, massage therapy can teach self-soothing, relieve pain that is stored in the body, and release trauma.
Trauma-Informed Bodywork will help you learn the language of your nervous system to release tension and pain from your body. The practitioner will guide you to notice sensations in your body and teach you ways to track them to come to a place of rebalance. Therapeutic massage techniques and gentle, supportive touch are used in support of nervous system regulation. Acupuncture may also be used in these sessions. *You do not have to have a diagnosis or even identify with the word trauma to benefit from this treatment.
Acupuncture – Community and individual
A form of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system and promotes the body’s natural self-healing process. Through acupoint (the insertion of fine, sterile needles) pressure, heat, cupping, and/or electrical stimulation, acupuncture unblocks pain that is trapped in the body and allows for flow to be re-established.
Experience the benefits of acupuncture and feel an overall physical and emotional shift toward health and well-being.
*The RENNI clinic offers individual and community acupuncture, making this form of therapy accessible to more people in need.
Move Better: Yoga and Mindful Movement (Teacher – Simone Nitzan)
The body is a gateway through which we can access our greatest states of well-being. When the body moves well and feels strong, we can experience a greater depth of groundedness and ease. This class series will take you through mindful movement and mobility practices culminating in a combination of yoga asanas and vinyasas. Your joints will be prepared and strengthened for various yoga postures, and each class will focus on a slightly different area of practice, including the hips, shoulders, core, backbends and balance postures. Each class will include some yoga philosophy, breath awareness, meditation, movement and savasana.
Restorative Yoga (Teacher – Simone Nitzan)
Restorative Yoga is like a hug you give yourself. Restorative Yoga is a meditative practice in which you produce and consume nothing. We give ourselves permission to truly relax, and our nervous system receives countless rewards. Many of us are managing chronic stress. Restorative Yoga is one of the best antidotes we have to chronic stress. It re-establishes homeostasis in the body, and aids digestion, sleep and immune function.
In a restorative yoga class, we set the body up to be completely comfortable and relaxed. We use props to support the body, so the body does no work to stay in a position, and we hold the postures for extended periods. Holding these postures for a longer time allows the nervous system to integrate the signal to relax, allowing you to access deeper states of restoration.
Fascia Flow (Teacher – Simone Nitzan)
Fascia is a fascinating body tissue. Our muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves are encased and connected through our fascia. Fascia creates a web of connections throughout the body and is the glue that holds the body together. It is what gives the body shape and stores tension pulling the body into different postural patterns.
This class will take you through a series of movements to get the fascia moving. Through these movements, your fascia will become more limber and be able to bounce, stretch and glide more easily and prepare the body for various yoga postures. When your fascia is healthy, everything in your body and mind can flow more easily, from your digestion and joint health to your mental state. Your downward dog may never feel the same again!
The class will finish with various longer-held yin postures that lengthen the body's fascial lines, leaving you feeling light and long, ready to take on the rest of the day.
Slow Flow (Teacher – Jelena Gajdel)
This gentle, all-levels flow encourages students to move slowly, balancing effort with ease. Move through gentle sequences with longer holds to build strength, stretch deeply and connect movement to one’s breath. End off with a restorative savansana and breathwork.
