Reiki Healing
Learn and explore through a variety of energy healing methods including Reiki. We will play with the energy for a better understanding, how you can use it and how you can consciously control more of the energy that makes up all that is you. Each person is here for their unique experience, no matter the age or belief system. There is something for you to glean from knowing more about yourself and how better to know yourself than through the part of you that is unseen. Healing is the focus of Reiki and healing is multi-level.
After decades as a business owner, Rev. Dr. Karen Cimaglia dramatically changed the direction of her life. Karen has always had abilities but there was no encouragement. She began learning a variety of new ways to apply her abilities through Reiki and other energy modalities. Karen has expanded into Metaphysical Sciences and Philosophy applying intuitive wisdom in all she does.

Gentle Chair Yoga
Yoga for Every Body! If you are new to yoga -- chair yoga is a great way to start! It is safe, fun, and there’s no downside to using chairs for fitness.
Non-fit people or folks a little disconnected from their bodies can give themselves permission to try something as non-threatening as moving while sitting in a chair.
Fit people can still ‘feel good’ from discovering the deeper breathing connected to the slower movement.
You are only one yoga class away from a good mood!
Marina started practicing yoga in 1995, and for the past seven years has taught locally. Marina also offers Gentle Yoga every Monday and Wednesday at 11:00 am. Chairs are provided.
Questions about Gentle Chair Yoga please contact instructor, Marina Kachur, at 480-510-6572 or yokama14@gmail.com.
Cost: $10 cash, paid to instructor at each class
