Transformational Weight Loss Course beginning in January!
Begin your New Year with new skills to start your personal transformation into a healthier YOU! This course will focus on weight loss but the skills you will learn will apply to lifestyle changes on many levels. Most weight loss programs are successful only for a short period of time and then participants regain the weight they lost plus a few more pounds. In order for habits to change people must learn new skills to overcome old attitudes and behaviors such as self-animosity, stress, addictive behavior, compulsive eating, poor-self esteem, and depression. This 10 week (10 class) series will be unlike any other weight loss program as it will address the physical, nutritional, psychological, emotional, and spiritual issues that surround chronic weight problems. The program will include a series of exercises designed to break up deep fat deposits in the body. In addition, we will help participants develop an understanding of healthy eating patterns based on cross-cultural dietary habits. Recipes and food tasting will be a part of every class. Most importantly we will use meditation, breathing exercises, and affirmations to overcome psychological blocks that often sabotage sustained weight loss.
This course is especially aimed at helping people with diabetes, but is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Dr. Rollins and Dr. Lai began working with diabetics individually with herbal formulas in the fall of 2011 as part of their research on type 2 diabetes. The individual herbal therapy will now be combined with the lifestyle educational component of this course for a comprehensive and integrative treatment program for diabetics. We are pleased to offer this as a unique approach to the treatment of this epidemic health problem and are optimistic that participants will be successful in creating transformational changes in their health. If you are diabetic and would like to be a part of our treatment program, please contact us.
This series will be taught by Laura LaFontaine and Annie Nichols who are graduates of Dr. Rollins’ yoga teacher training program. Classes will be held Wednesday evenings 6:45-8:30 pm beginning January 18th-March 28th. There will be an introductory overview Saturday January14th from 4-5pm taught by Dr. Rollins. This class will be offered at a special introductory price for $200/person.
Please call to register at 817-926-9642.
Musical Yoga w/Daniel Katsuk - Sat. February 25th 10:30 AM
It’s that time again! The wonderfully talented Daniel Katsük is back again Sat. JFeb. 25th to musically accompanyi the wonderful Dr. Kari Rollins at her wonderful Kundalini yoga class. It is so much fun to do Kundalini yoga to live music! Because Kundalini yoga is by nature very rhythmic it is easily enhanced with music. There has been a tradition for certain sets to be accompanied by musicians and it definitely makes you become more involved in the experience. You find yourself letting go on a profound level and can experience a state of euphoria. Daniel, who is an incredible and well known Fort Worth musician, will share his love for yoga and music with us. If we can support Daniel’s effort we can make this a regular treat on a monthly basis.
We are suggesting a $10 donation to our talented volunteer musician to keep him coming back and playing for us.
Please join us for a unique and joyous experience.
Have a happy, healthy month!
