Try Something New!

Yoga for Life is pleased to offer something completely new on its schedule -- Elixir Qigong
Beginning Sept. 7, Jackie Burleson will offer a weekly Qigong class on Tuesdays from 6:15-7:15 p.m. 
In Chinese, ‘Qigong’ means the practice of working with or cultivating one’s life force energy. Similar to Tai Chi, Qigong combines slow graceful movements, breath work and intention to awaken the body’s life force energy. The gentle movements are used to unblock energy from the muscles and joints and develop the body’s energy. Qigong is great for the mind, body and spirit and is suitable for any age or fitness level.
Help us welcome Jackie to the studio and try this life-changing practice!  See you soon!

Deborah Winegar Gift

WinegarMonoprint

Be sure to notice Deborah Winegar's monoprint "Contemplation," which is now at home in our reception area.  Centered Wellness is so very grateful for Deborah's talent and generosity in making a gift of her art to the studio.  "Contemplation" is an inspiring and beautiful visual representation of the work we do each day at Centered Wellness.  Thank you, Deborah, from the bottom of our hearts!          

 
Thought for Today

The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
and let it spring from love
born out of concern for all beings.
- The Buddha

You Asked for It

If you've enjoyed eating the Dark Chocolate Clusters we've been serving at Centered Wellness, you'll really appreciate how simple they are to make.  You'll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb. Dark Chocolate
  • 1 c. Unsweetend Craisins (or less to taste)
  • 1 c. Lightly Salted Cashew Pieces (or less to taste)

Melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously.  Allow to cool slightly.  Stir in craisins and cashews.  Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes.  Release clusters by pressing diagonal corners of the cookie sheet.  Enjoy!!! 

Many students have also asked for the recipe for Yogi Tea. Maureen Scott has graciously agreed to share. Click here for the recipe.
