Saturday, March 23
1:00PM-5:00PM
$99 per person ($110 door). Includes all handouts and workshop materials
Location: Rochester
In this Introductory workshop, you'll learn that you have an individualized pattern of energy comprised of the Five
Elements ~
Air, Space, Fire, Water and Earth.
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy-an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics.
Ayurveda refers to the combination of the energies as
Doshas
.
Ayurveda
is considered to be one of the oldest healing sciences, and places it's emphasis on Balance and Prevention of
disease. It
means "The Science of Life," and is often called the "Mother of All Healing."
As you understand your individualized Body-Mind Personality or
Dosha
, you'll learn why you make choices and react differently to things, and that maintaining health and balance is also
individualized. You'll
also begin to learn how meditation, nutrition, herbs and more will bring you more joy and healthy living
.

One of Active Recovery's Infrared Saunas In The Downtown Wellness Union. Your Oasis Awaits!
|
We incorporate many different massage modalities into our therapeutic massages, based on the specific needs of each client. Some clients may want a slower, more relaxing massage. Some may want us to use techniques to aid a specific region of the body that is tight, or hurting.
We target layers of muscle and connective tissue to release adhesions, which are rigid bands of tissue that can cause pain and chronic tension. We also incorporate modalities such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and a variety of other techniques into each massage. Cupping therapy can also be used upon request.
Our infrared saunas are the perfect complement to a massage or Yoga class, or as a stand-alone sauna appointment for better health, stress and pain management. Saunas feature chromotherapy, aromatherapy and acoustic resonance sound therapy as one of your many available selections.
Contact us for more information about the benefits of infrared therapy or to
schedule and appointment.
