July 17th $39 Back Care Class by Dot Spaet; San Rafael, CA.

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

I want to share this valuable info on fitness classes from my amazing friend, Dot Spaet.

What is the biggest factor for success in any kind of fitness program?  The answer is at the end of this message.

Last chance to get a discount to Eliminate Back Pain for Good! I

Dot offered a discount for this 2 hour workshop and am extending it for 2 more days until July 12.   After Monday, July 12, it’s going up.

*  Feel your back pain diminish almost immediately.

*  Learn what stretches relieve discomfort.

*  Identify which of your muscles are pulling on your back.

This is a 2 hour workshop and will be both informative and interactive.

Dot shows you exactly what it takes to lessen your back pain.

What past participants say:

I have been going to physical therapy for 9 months; afterwards, I am in more pain]. Literally, within 24 hours (after working with you), the really bad pain at the bottom of my spine was relieved. This is the best I’ve felt in 9 months. – Jaclyn D., San Rafael

Of all the classes I have ever taken I learned more from your back class than any doctor or physical therapist. – Mary W., Novato

Dot is a master teacher integrating the best of yoga and pilates stretches to help loosen/relax your entire body including back pain. My back and neck pain have improved greatly with her class and her individual care and recommendations. Do yourself a favor – work with Dot to release whatever pain you have. – Sharon M., San Rafael

The answer to the tip question:  The biggest factor in the success of any fitness program is …

consistency.  What this means is that 35 is greater than 60.  That is, you will make better progress working out 5 minutes each day (35 total minutes each week) than working out once a week for an hour (60 minutes).

Dot looks forward to helping you and your back feel terrific!

Check out the upcoming Integral Transformative Practice International Annual Conference

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Announcing The 2010 Integral Transformative Practice International Annual Conference!

The Intention of the Universe: Our Evolutionary Destiny, takes place June 11 & 12, at St. Stephen’s Church in Belvedere, CA. This spirited event attracts a community of integral practitioners and the general public from all over the country to meet, socialize and explore emerging trends.

Are you seeking a way to express your best and most authentic self?

If so, join us on the journey of Integral Transformative Practice (ITP).

ITP is cross-training for the body, mind, heart and soul. It’s designed for all people, particularly those with busy lives. Through deliberate daily practice, you transform yourself – and our world – for the better.

ITP is a practice, not a quick fix. It’s a path, not a patch.

For more information please see

www.itp-international.org

At the upcoming 2010 conference, keynote speaker, Jeff Kripal, Professor of Religious Studies at Rice University, will present key concepts from his most recent book,

Authors of the Impossible, a history of psychic phenomena through the last two centuries of Western thought. In this work, Kripal provides a framework for exploring ideas and events cited as paranormal. Michael Murphy, ITP and Esalen co-founder, will join Kripal for a panel discussion along with other guest panelists.

Additional conference activities include movement, meditation, Leonard Energy Training (LET) exercises as well as small group breakout sessions and interactive presentations by members of ITPI’s Mastery program. The annual conference is ITPI’s major fundraising event for the year and showcases a silent auction, raffle and a variety of ITP products for sale. The conference concludes with a festive reception and party with drinks, sumptuous hors d’oeuvres and live jazz.
