New Year, New Classes, and a New Teacher Training Curriculum
Rising Sun Yoga wishes you a prosperous and happy New
Year. With the start of the new year we are excited about announcing new
classes including more meditation classes, posture pro, and a chair yoga
class. Chris
 Briney
owner of Living Tradition Yoga in Royal Oak will be teaching meditation and
posture pro on Monday nights. Chris is also a primary facilitator of our new
teacher training curriculum and brings many years of learning, living, and
teaching yoga. Learn from Chris on Monday evenings at 7&7:30 and experience
the wealth of knowledge he has to share.
On Tuesdays at 3pm Pat Cieluch, currently training at the RYT500 level, is
providing a chair yoga class. If you
 or someone you know needs
yoga, but getting up and down off the floor isn’t easy, have them give chair
yoga a try. This class is ideal for those restricted due to injury or a
sedimentary live style. Pat is also continuing the pranayama classes on
Wednesdays at 9am titled Learn to Breath.
Thursday nights at 6pm we will host our first hour long
meditation class with a new instructor Lisa Marie
 Gutowski NCBTMB, CABMP, RMI.
Lisa Marie taught a workshop meditation class for us in November and it was
so successful we decided to share her gift of guiding us to our true selves
on a weekly basis. Look inside for Lisa Marie’s article on meditation.
Want a short cut to learning yoga? Our new teacher
training curriculum now offers a reduced price for those
 just wanting to deepen their
practice without becoming a certified teacher. Designed to exceed the Yoga
Alliance requirements for Registered Yoga Schools the program now includes
weekend workshops, which will permit those traveling long distances to train
only on the weekends.
For the first time every we have three evening posture
pro classes. Monday with Chris, Tuesday with Elizabeth
 and Wednesday night with Jim.
Correct bad posture, learn to do yoga anatomically correct, and experience
postures otherwise unavailable. Posture Pro Yoga is fun and the rate of
learning unequaled. See Jim’s article on Posture Pro Inside.
Try something “New” and enjoy the whole year! |

Yoga News January 2007
What a wonderful start to
the New Year! The adopt-a-family event was a great success. I included a picture
of the Morgan Family (Angel, Daniel, Jessica and my daughter, Jamie). On Sunday
December 17th my family visited the Morgan’s home and dropped off all
the wonderful gifts. The mom and children were very grateful and excited about
all we had done for them. Thank you very much to all of you who contributed to
making their Christmas brighter!
For our next
adventure in altruism we’ve decided to donate items to Peggy’s Place, a housing
unit for 8 single women and 11 families (women with children) for a total of 23
units. Peggy’s Place was named after Peggy Posa who was the former director of
COTS. She felt that women and women with children needed their own place to live
while transitioning to a permanent home. Case planners are assigned to each
participant with the proviso that the final goal is self-sufficiency. Life
skills along with parenting sessions, relapse prevention and Money Smart classes
are offered to the tenants. This is a community living environment with shared
kitchenettes and bathrooms. Participants pay 10% of their income and are able to
stay for 24 months. The women’s situations all vary in degrees such as domestic
abuse, substance abuse and homelessness.
We are asking for
donations of your time and talent. If you or someone you know is a real estate
agent, banker, broker or someone who is willing to offer free nail and hair
services please email me and I can put you in contact with a representative of
Peggy’s Place so you can offer a class to help our fellow human beings get the
help they need to be self reliant. We are also asking for the following items:
·
New hairbrushes, makeup and nail
kits
·
Hosiery and other items that will
be helpful to women getting back into the workforce.
·
Also, if you have any business
attire (suits) that is new or in great condition (any size) please bring it to
the studio.
It’s hard to be successful when you don’t
have the right tools.
Just for kids:
- Ask your child to go through their books that they
have outgrown and donate them to your local public library or to their very own
school. If you drop them off at a public library they will give you a receipt
for a tax deduction. Everyone benefits!
Please feel free to email me with ideas or questions
about local charitable events that we may want to be involved with in the
future. Redragon13@yahoo.com
Mahalo (Thank You) and Namaste,
Your Donating Diva - Jessica

Now Available At Rising Sun Yoga
Blue Ice Pure Cod Liver Oil
Grandma knew what she was doing by giving us cod live oil. It is high
in vitamin A and D plus Omega 3 oils. The Blue Ice brand is the purist and
highest vitamin content we’ve found.
“Vitamin D may be one of the most fundamentally important
building blocks available to us for creating and sustaining vibrant health.
In addition to its classically understood role in bone formation and calcium
absorption, research has uncovered myriad roles for vitamin D, ranging from
increasing muscular coordination to preventing cancer, heart disease,
autoimmune diseases and radiation-induced tissue damage. Yet vitamin D is
also considered to be "the most toxic of all vitamins..", so don’t over do
it. (From Green Pasture’s Website) For more information visit
www.greenpasture.org and
www.westonaprice.org.
Afraid of the fishy taste, try the mint or cinnamon flavor
and fear no more.
We are also carrying Blue Ice Gold Therapeutics, a blend of high vitamin
cod liver oil-- 5000IU's vitamin A, 500IU's vitamin D -- plus 100mg of high
vitamin butter oil in each dose.
Without vitamin A & D our bodies don’t absorb minerals

Michigan Harvest
 Michigan
Harvest
is a proprietary blend of
sweet cherry, blackberry, blueberry and apple chosen to maximize the ORAC*
score while producing a flavor filled juice drink boost. Most high
antioxidant drinks use fruits from far away places in an attempt to maximize
antioxidant score. At Sol Resource we created
a high antioxidant drink made with fruits grown right here in the state of
Michigan. A single ounce of Michigan Harvest provides you with half of your
daily recommended antioxidant intake.
*ORAC
(Oxygen Radical
Absorption Capacity) measures the antioxidant activity of a substance.
Cherry Harvest
American Premium Blends
is
proud to present Cherry Harvest. Cherry harvest is a combination of
tart and sweet cherry blended in such a way to maximize benefits while
providing a surprisingly refreshing taste. Cherry Harvest is all natural
with no preservatives, added sugar or color. This is cherry juice the way
nature intended delicious and nutritious. Tart and sweet cherry juice are
both excellent sources of anthocyanins, a family of antioxidants that give
cherries their bright color but also may play a critically important role in
reducing inflammation, promoting joint health and reducing the symptoms of
gout and arthritis. So try an ounce of Cherry Harvest your body will thank
you for it.
Tart Cherry Harvest
Michigan is the top tart cherry producer in the United States harvesting
75% of the nation’s tart cherry crop. These cherries do not normally make it
to your local supermarket, mostly because the tart cherry crop is sent for
processing into jams, jellies, pie filling and of course tart cherry juice
concentrate. Scientific research suggests that enjoying a shot of tart
cherry juice concentrate might help defuse arthritis pain. It is this
overwhelming scientific evidence that compelled us at American Premium
Blends to create Tart Cherry Harvest, our own proprietary blend
of tart cherry juice that promotes the health benefits of tart cherry juice.
Samples are available at the studio, try a bottle the
taste is great.

What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy (commonly called a colonic) is a safe and effective
procedure that helps to clean out the accumulated waste material in the
colon. It is one of the most powerful and effective means of cleansing and
detoxifying the digestive system. Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle infusion of
warm purified water into the colon that helps to soften and eliminate old
debris. No chemicals or drugs are involved, and the entire therapy is both
relaxing and effective.
Why is colon hydrotherapy necessary?
Toxins are abundant in our food supply, cleaning products, water, air,
prescription and over the counter drugs, personal care products, and
especially in recreational drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
Once processed by the liver, a large percentage of these toxins must leave
through the colon. Unfortunately, most people's colons are backed up with
undigested processed foods and mucoid plaque. The average person has 6-10
pounds of fecal matter in their colon! How can we expect to feel our best
while carrying around this toxic burden?
What happens during a colon hydrotherapy session?
A typical appointment lasts one hour; with approximately 45 minutes on
the massage table (where the therapy is performed). First appointments last
one and a half hours and include a full intake and consultation. During the
session, I use a disposable speculum and tubing to introduce a gentle flow
of purified warm water into the large intestine (colon). I will administer
several 'fills' and 'releases' and will use abdominal massage techniques to
help dislodge old fecal matter. The dislodged fecal matter is then gently
eliminated through the system's waste disposal tube. Massage, acupressure
points, and foot reflexology are used to help relax the client and encourage
elimination.
I use state of the art FDA approved equipment that utilizes a particle
filter, and a carbon micron filter. We use disposable speculums and tubing,
and all-natural lubricants, lotions, and oils. I am certified by the
International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy.
What can I do to prepare for my colon hydrotherapy session?
The most important thing to do for 24 hours before your session is to
hydrate by drinking plenty of purified water. This will help your body to
flush out toxins and also help soften old waste material in the colon. You
can also start the cleansing process by eating lightly and increasing your
intake of fruits and vegetables. If you would like to maximize the results
of your colon hydrotherapy session, you can begin an internal cleansing
program 3-7 days before your appointment. Please contact me for further
information about cleansing programs. I will also send you pre and post
colonic instructions prior to your first appointment. For two nights prior
to the appt, I recommend taking a natural vegetable laxative called
Cleansemore, by Renew Life. You can purchase this at most of the local
Health Stores Downriver and in Royal Oak.
Will I experience
any discomfort or fatigue during or after the session?
The most discomfort you will experience during the session is a mild
cramping sensation, similar to what you may experience when having a bowel
movement. It is rare that anyone experiences discomfort or fatigue after a
session. A colonic will stir up many toxins and old debris that your body
will need to eliminate, so occasionally clients may notice a mild
discomfort. It is important to rest and drink plenty of water. Ginger and
peppermint tea are also very soothing.
Are colonics addictive?
Because colonics clear out accumulated waste material in the colon, it is
easier for the colon to function normally after a colonic than it did
before. Colonics also encourage peristalsis, the natural muscle contractions
of the colon, so the colon muscles are actually strengthened by doing
colonics. Most clients report that they are much more 'regular' after
completing a few colon hydrotherapy sessions.
Will a colonic wash out the friendly bacteria in my colon?
A healthy colon has a proper balance of good and bad bacteria. Good
bacteria, friendly bacteria, flora, and probiotics are all names for the
same thing. Good bacteria eat up undigested food matter, produce B
vitamins which boost the immune system and reduce stress levels, and relieve
constipation. Because of the modern lifestyle, most people have too many
toxin-producing bad bacteria in the colon, which can contribute to many
health problems. The good bacteria in the colon can not thrive in the
presence of all the bad bacteria. Colon hydrotherapy cleans out the colon so
that the proper environment exists where good bacteria can thrive. The body
will naturally produce good bacteria to replenish the colon, and you can
also take a probiotic supplement after your session to help your body
replenish the good bacteria. Please contact the center for further
information about probiotics.
Will one colonic clean out all of the old waste material in my colon?
We spend most of our lives accumulating old fecal matter in the colon, so
it is not realistic to think we can clean it all out in one session. Most
clients experience the best results by doing a series of colonics.
After the initial series, how often do I need to get colonics?
This depends on the lifestyle you live and the level of health you want
to achieve! Just as some people exercise on a daily or weekly basis to tone
and tighten their outer body, some people follow an ongoing cleansing,
toning, and rebuilding regime for the inner body.
