Sensing Healthy Bones and New Pricing Structure



Awareness of Healthy Bones



Sensing Alignment while Maintaining Agility

As movable architecture, bones provide protection, support and 
a place for the storage of minerals, salts and a fresh supply of red blood cells.

By design, bones come in a variety of shapes and sizes 
acting as mechanical levors to convey muscle contraction into powerful movement.

Despite the bones light weight, bones are stronger than reinforced concrete, 
designed to withstand great mechanical stress.  

Together with your joints, the bones make linear, circular, fast and slow movement possible.  

Celebrate the more than 206 bones in the body ~ 
from short to long, flat to round and symmetrical to irregular.  
We will practice agility while sensing alignment through our bones.


2013 Pricing Structure for Anita's Classes

After a great deal of thought and input from all of you I have created a new pricing structure for 2013.

Currently classes are offered every Wed/Fri morning from 8:30 am - 9:45 am.
Drop-in Class rate is $14 per class. 
Or you may pre-purchase 5 classes or more at a discounted rate of $12 per class.  
These cards have a 30 day expiration period from the day purchased.
If you currently have a class card, the new pricing structure will take effect
once your card is completed.

I remain committed to offering Anita's classes to you!  
Thank you for your ongoing enCOURAGEment.

I feel blessed and loved by all of you!

Happy New Year and I will see you on Wed, Jan 2nd at 8:30 am.
I will be teaching every Wed/Fri in January!

Love,
Anita

Fall Women's Wellness Retreat
Relax, Reflect & Rejuvenate

Time to treat yourself! As the leaves change in autumn, so do we. It’s the perfect time to reflect on where you are and where you're going; the perfect time to relax and rediscover yourself; the perfect time to rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. 
The theme for this year’s retreat is “Come Home to Yourself: Relax, Reflect & Rejuvenate." I am very excited to be co-faciliating this event with Kirsten Mineghello, Career and Life Transition Coach, friend and a woman with a purpose ~ empowerment of women. 
Space is limited, so I recommend registering early if you would like to join us for this special event.
I have attached the brochure and you can register today at kirsten@illuminationcoaching.com
I hope you will take advantage of this special retreat and give yourself the gift of being taken care of.
Love your body
Love your life

Anita



Relaxed, Alert, Aware

                                                                    I love summer. 
 
We become so alert to all the playful joy 
summer brings.  

Yet relaxing in the warmth 
of the summer sun.  

Aware that we are so lucky to be in a body 
that allows us to feel and sense 
whatever we choose.

love your body
love your life
Anita
