Alignment is emphasized to feel steady, supple and strong.

SPICES for Life © Workshop

Discover how to create, balance and enrich professional and personal power through a comprehensive approach to living.

SPICES represents the six components of wellness:

Social
Physical
Intellectual
Career
Emotional
Spiritual Health

SPICES for Life © is a comprehensive approach to wellness and stress management that includes all the components for creating and maintaining professional and personal power.

Wellness goes far beyond the freedom from illness. It emphasizes each individual’s uniqueness along with the importance of self-responsibility and a positive attitude for personal well being.

SPICES represents the six components of wellness: Social, Physical, Intellectual, Career, Emotional and Spiritual health and well being. Each dimension is equally important to living a well-rounded, successful life. Paying equal attention to each aspect by developing and balancing them throughout life is important and results in wholesome living which is stimulating, productive and vital.

SPICES for Life workshops provide an introduction to wellness and motivates people to make appropriate changes for improving health and well-being.

Additionally, SPICES for Life can also provide a structure for a well rounded employee wellness program. Ideally, this format starts with an introductory session which trains participants on the concepts and advantages of professional and personal well being and motivates them to pursue lifestyle improvements. Sessions on each wellness dimension follow to further understanding and prompt individual lifestyle changes that are positive in nature. Each session will help participants:

Understand the dynamics and importance of overall wellness as well as for each dimension of well being
Provide a self assessment to measure personal well being
Motivate participants to identify and undertake lifestyle changes that meet their individual needs

Yoga Nidra’s Benefits

June 27, 2016 by Julie Lusk

Yoga nidra’s benefits are remarkable. Yoga nidra means “yogic sleep.” It’s a comprehensive meditative practice for going far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit. Unique skills are developed for handling stress and tension in the short term and for the long run. Yoga nidra feels extremely peaceful and is very refreshing. It’s based on classical yoga and backed by contemporary science.
