Private Lessons, Consults, Coaching


Consider satisfying your dreams with personal lessons

Yoga – Meditation – Guided Imagery – Music – Sound Baths – Mentoring


♥ Personal Yoga Lessons

Individualize your yoga postures and breathing, yoga nidra, or meditation practice.  You can have private online lessons to work on areas of special interest for you and to fit your schedule.  It’s up to you.

Hatha yoga includes postures and breathing techniques to help improve your strength, balance, and coordination. We can focus on areas like bone and muscle strength, joint flexibility, and heart health.

Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep and can help tame your emotions, calm your mind, and help with physical concerns.  Clients often say they sleep better, their pain lessens, and inner peace is felt.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥ Meditation and Guided Imagery

Meditation lessons can cover a wide range of topics for anyone who wants to get started or deepen their meditation practice. It’s helpful to develop a meditation method that suits your temperament, whether it’s mindfulness, walking meditation, mantra repetition, or another.

Guided Imagery, also called creative visualization, is intentional daydreaming that magnifies the positive aspects of the mind-body connection.  It can elicit therapeutic relaxation; awaken and activate the natural ability for self-healing to occur; help with changing behaviors and habits; and stimulate intuition and uncover your inner truth and life direction.  Everyone can do it.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥  Music Lessons

Learn to play the Native American flute!  Lessons will get you off on a good note.  We will focus on whatever you like.  We can cover the basics, embellishments, and how to improvise or learn songs.  We will follow your interests from there by delving deeper into flute playing.

We can also get you started playing the Reverie harp, tuning forks, tongue drums, and singing bowls.

Music lessons are offered “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥  Sound Bath Concerts

Do you yearn for the benefits of meditation but have trouble meditating? A sound bath may be perfect for you.  Carefully selected instruments and frequencies are selected to help harmonize your wellbeing.  It is delightfully relaxing and can tap into your natural healing abilities.

You’ll experience a play of enchanting sounds from flutes, Himalayan singing bowls, harp, chimes, bells, drums, voice, and harmonium.  During a sound bath you’ll experience a musical blend of harmonizing tones to tune you up. You’ll feel the pleasure of letting your heart sing & dance.

Sound baths are offered individually and for groups.  They take place in-person and on Zoom (with a downloadable video to have for keeps).  Click to make contact.


♥  Coaching / Mentoring

Everyone has something they hope to ‘do someday,’ but have a hard time taking the necessary steps. Coaching will help.

Most of us are stymied by stress and would love to learn effective methods to renew our energy. Coaching will help.

For most, it is hard to make time to develop a practical plan and to put it into action. Others can keep to their plan, but only for a while, and then they slip back into old habits. Having information and support from someone else often makes all the difference.

Coaching is perfect if you are ready to:

  • Reduce stress by gaining mind/body mastery
  • Replenish your energy
  • Set and achieve your goals
  • Turn stress into something positive
  • Reach your full potential

Together we will design a customized plan for you that may include guidance in meditation, personalized guided imagery, visualization and relaxation, wellness strategies, and private and personal yoga lessons.

You will also benefit from Julie’s extensive base of experience in life planning, health promotion and making dreams come true.

Private lessons, email, Zoom, and phone consultations are all options. I will get in touch with you within 48-hours to set up an initial phone consultation at no cost or obligation. Click to make contact.


 

Advice from a Tree

October 17, 2013 by Julie Lusk

What an opportunity to experience yoga’s tree pose (Vriksasana) while absorbing the energy from the trunk of this tree.  What a powerful experience to feel into the roots of this tree, to reflect on its life, and to stand where it stood for so many years.  It seemed perfect to pair the photo with “the advice from a tree.” from ‘anon.’  Learn the tree pose below. 

 

Advice from a TreeJulie's Tree pose

stand tall and proud

go out on a limb

remember your roots

drink plenty of water

be content with your natural beauty

enjoy the view

And I’d like to add…

bask in the sun

don’t mind the clouds

provide shelter for birds, squirrels, and other creatures

go with the winds that are blowing through your life

climb a tree once in a while


Practice yoga’s tree pose (vrksasana) to gain balance, core strength, humility, centering, and self-acceptance.

Stand tall. Balance your weight equally on both feet in mountain pose (tadasana). Put your hands on your hips. Breathe. Raise your right foot and press it into the inside of your left leg either above or below the knee. Steady your gaze. Raise your arms up like branches. Wobbling is normal and helpful. Hold for several breaths and repeat on the other side. See the picture above.

Yoga Practice Video for the Spine and Hips

January 2, 2013 by Julie Lusk

I am happy to share with you a yoga video by Christopher Baxter to support you and your home practice.

You will notice that his message and methods are similar to mine.  After all, we used to offer yoga teacher trainings together.  Luckily, he still does so go to his Inner SKY Yoga website to find out about everything he has to offer.

This yoga video focuses on movements originating from the pelvis using spinal waves, open joints, core awareness, and fluid stability with ease and spacious awareness.  It is for great for the spine and focuses on awesome hip openers.

You will get a lot out of this 17 minute yoga video!  It will help your flexibility and strength while opening your mind and heart.  More of Christopher Baxter’s yoga videos can be found here.

4 Ways to Stop Freaking Out

October 17, 2016 by Julie Lusk

I don’t know about you, but nearly everyone I know is freaking out.  Watching the daily news is enough to shake anyone up.  Plus, nearly all of us have everyday pressures at work and home that never seem to let up.

Here’s 4 ways to stop freaking out and refresh yourself  …

Refresh your mind

a. Take a news fast. Turn off the tube and shut down the smartphone for a while. You’ll be amazed by it.Asheville creek meditation

b. Practice mindfulness. Why jump into a future of doom and gloom.  Instead anchor yourself in this moment and enjoy the outdoors, cuddle your pet, have a good laugh.

c. Listen to Guided Mindfulness Meditations: Practicing Presence & Finding Peace. The net effect is calmer nerves, a brighter outlook, stronger memory, sharper focus, and a more balanced perspective. Or get Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief as a book and audio set (New Harbinger, 2015)

Take charge  – Chaos or calmness is up to you

a. Quickly reset your nervous system and brighten yourself up with breathing better.  It makes a world of difference

b. Completely relax yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and more.  Experience bliss with yoga nidra.  See a list of yoga nidra benefits here.

c.Take a “2-Hour Nap in less than 10 Minutes.”   (free video)

Practice self-care

a. Get some sleep – Oh, can’t sleep?  Practice yoga nidra. (1 hour = 4 hours sleep).  Listen to Yoga Nidra: Guided Meditations for Relaxation and Renewal  It will help you get to sleep too.

b. Eat and drink with good nutrition in mind (mindfully of course).  Avoid excessive food, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar.

c. Treat yourself to beauty – outside in nature, museums, get a treatment at the spa

d. Do something you enjoy – exercise, color, sports, see a movie, call a friend, hobbies, etc.

Ask for Help

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Talk with a trusted relative, friend or spiritual adviser. If you want professional help, obtain a referral for services from your local Mental Health Association or the National Mental Health Association.
