Yoga Instruction

alex — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:03:53 +0000

I first encountered Yoga on a study group to Southern India with Colgate University in 1991. I was then 18 years old and searching for a way to quiet my frenzied mind. I was also searching for deep meaning and for solace. There I met Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar, a profoundly gifted Yoga teacher, in the Viniyoga tradition. The simplicity and purity of his teaching style helped me to connect deeply with the essence of the teachings, and so began my life long love of yoga.

While living in Virginia in 2003, I achieved a certification in the Kundalini Yoga Tradition. I was drawn to the conscious movement of energy throughout the body, the use of sound current, and the rapid personal transformation this style of Yoga engenders.
I also enjoy the focus upon chakra healing and chakra balancing that is practiced in this tradition.

Today, I am studying again in the Viniyoga tradition, and continue to deepen my personal practice. When teaching, I draw upon both of these Yoga Traditions and customize the experience to the individual’s needs. Everyone’s personal journey is sacred and meaningful. My teaching style connects to each student at the soul level and establishes a heart felt connection. Through this relationship and steady practice, transformation happens. Gradually the level of self care and well being increases, and an over tired, over stressed, over worked way of living decreases.

My style of teaching will help you to:
• Love where you are
• Love who you are
• Begin from where you are
• Set reasonable goals
• Grow into your practice
• Fit your practice into your life
• Connect more deeply with yourself
• Enjoy being in your body
• Gain in personal awareness, well-being, clarity and health

Sound Therapy

alex — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:03:24 +0000

I draw from my training as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher and from many healing traditions to bring energetic release through sound. I utilize Tibetan Singing Bowls and a 30” Healing Gong to help people release stress, shift emotional patterns, and heal at the cellular level.
Sound Healing is a very powerful method of natural stress relief because it bypasses the linear thinking process and unifies, integrates and clarifies the human experience.

During a Gong Bath, or Gong Attunement,
Participants lie in a comfortable position and enter into a state of deep relaxation. The same is true for energetic healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls. Both provide intuitive healing opportunities that are unique and specific in the moment. These forms of energy medicine provide powerful opportunities for emotional healing, spiritual transformation, and increased well being.

Permaculture

alex — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:03:01 +0000

Permaculture is a way of seeing the world that seeks to create healthy, sustainable, and regenerating systems of interaction between humans and the earth. What is good for us is good for the earth, and what is good for the earth is good for us. Humans are experiencing a lot of dis-ease and the planet is experiencing a lot of dis-ease. Permaculture was developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the 1970’s to address these concerns.

“The main features of the Permaculture approach are summarized as follows:
• It is a synthesis of traditional knowledge and modern science applicable in both urban and rural situations.
• It works with nature and takes natural systems as models to design sustainable environments that provide for basic human needs and the social and economic infrastructures that support them.
• It encourages us and gives us the capacity and opportunity to become a conscious part of the solutions to the many problems that face us locally and globally.”
(From Earth Users Guide to Permaculture by Rosemary Morrow p. 5)

Permaculture is ecological design that addresses many of the objectives we seek to incorporate into our home or work environment. Permaculture design plans can reduce the carbon footprint, improve the air quality, and foster a deep connection to the natural world. Today we are seeking ways to experience green living and sustainable living in a meaningful way. Permaculture addresses the indoor living environment as well as the outdoors. It incorporates organic gardening and elements of green home design to enhance natural living, ultimately empowering us to heal the planet and ourselves.

Jennifer Ripa-Edson received a Level One Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) with Wayne Weiseman, through the Pemaculture Institiue of Australia, in Texas in 2006. Individualized Permaculture plans are available upon request.

Paintings

alex — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:02:30 +0000

I offer two styles of paintings through the Thrivologie platform. I draw from my heartfelt desire to bring healing to people and healing to the earth to inspire my painting process. The nature paintings inspire a deeper connection between the natural world and the human experience. They incorporate ideals of stewardship, harmony, and a return to balance.

The healing paintings incorporate many aspects of sacred mandalas and draw upon themes form sacred geometry. This healing art is embedded with energy that offers support around a specific area of personal development or personal transformation.
