Crafty with Bad Habits?

Are you crafty AND have a few bad habits you’ve been meaning to lose (or maybe just a few pounds)?  Then you’ve got to take advantage of this workshop offered by IMI (I Made It): Creating Healthy Habits facilitated by Emily Levenson.  It look s great and I’m hoping to be there myself.  The workshop is at Quiet Storm on February 28th from 6:00-7:30pm and costs $20. 

The yogis say that it takes 40-days to make something a habit.  If you are looking to add a good habit to your repertoire, let me suggest a private session with yours truly.  In an hour and a half we can explore the change you wish to make and I can teach you a simple energy technique that works with your brain to speed up the transformation and a 40-day meditation to keep your commitment bright and strong.  Mention the following code when you make your appointment and I’ll provide a good habit forming session with you (1.5 hours) for the price of a 50-minute session (save $50!): NEW ME.

Appointments are available at your convenience and we can even work together on SKYPE with a distance session.  Call (412) 855-5692 or send an e-mail to me at: sharon@yogamatrika.com in order to reserve your session today!

NEWS: Sustain Health and Wellness

This is VERY exciting! Our good friend and the creator of the most beautiful handmade notebooks that you see for sale at Yoga Matrika is now offering holistic health counseling services.  Check it out:

http://sustainhealthandwellness.com/about/

Sustain Health and Wellness is run by Emily Levenson, LCSW, HHC.

Emily practices a holistic approach to nutrition, looking at how all areas of a person’s life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect the whole.

Each person has their own nutritional needs, meaning that one dietary approach will not work for everyone. We look at your age, health, activity level, food sensitivities or allergies, and personal preferences to determine your dietary needs.

When making changes in diet, it is important to look at the other areas of your life. Everything is food; healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these areas are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
