Cranio-Sacral Relaxation
Cranio-Sacral Relaxation
Date: April 18, 2013
Craniosacral therapy and relaxation is a deeply relaxing technique, somewhat like yoga, that makes you feel as though you are floating on water.
You may experience yourself drifting in and out of sleep during the gentle and quiet sessions. You will gain a deeper sense of well-being and relaxation, with a better understanding of your body and how it feels. If you suffer migraines, back or neck pain, the instructor will advice you on the specific technique to alleviate the area of concern.
Mats and materials are provided. Come in loose and comfortable pants and clothing. Most people remove their shoes.
Get ready to have an amazing experience. This is a very popular class.
Start time: 10:00 am
End time: 11:00 am
Contact phone: (718) 365-5516

East Harlem gets much more than a penny for its thoughts
East Harlem gets much more than a penny for its thoughts
The basketball courts at East Harlem's Jefferson Park are usually packed, but over the years the neighborhood ballplayers have grown accustomed to shooting hoops in deteriorating conditions, on cracked pavement.
