Learn a wonderful way to nurture and
bond with your baby!
Nurturing touch learned through infant massage facilitates
relaxation
and communication between baby and caregiver. Massage strokes
and
gentle movements stimulate muscular, sensory, digestive and
cardiovascular systems to promote growth and healthy development.
Infant massage can also aid in the relief of discomfort from
gas/colic, fussiness, sleep challenges and growing pains.
Infant
massage incorporates Indian and Swedish massage traditions
and
principles of yoga, reflexology and touch relaxation.
About the teacher...

with young children since 2003 through her
work as a speech and language therapist. As an early interventionist,
she observes firsthand the benefits of infant massage in the
lives of
families she works with. In June 2007, Julie participated
in a 4-day
training course with Infant Massage USA and is currently working
on
her certification, which consists of teaching parents and

with a
mission to teach parents and caregivers how to provide nurturing
touch
to their children.

"The Ayurvedic Approach to understanding
and managing Anxiety and Depression"
Anxiety and depression are usually considered opposite states
of the mind, that at times can be interconnected and mutually
inclusive, caused by imbalances in the body-mind-spirit complex.
Ayurveda, known as the Science of Life, is a wholistic science
that helps us to encourage optimal health by becoming more
in balance with nature and preventing disease tendencies within
the body-mind-spirit complex. This workshop will be presenting
an Ayurvedic approach to some of the causes, symptoms, and
management of anxiety and depression. We will be exploring
modern mental conditions with ancient tools that have survived
the test of time.

is open to children ages 6-12.
About the teacher...
Bobbie Kingsford, walks
through this world on a Bhakti path. She is guided by a
deep devotion to the Divine Mother Earth. Bobbie spent much
of her childhood hiking and camping with her family where
she found a great appreciation for the magic of the forest.
Later, in college, she found herself drawn to the wisdom
of the ancients. While at Drexel, she took classes on women's
spirituality, spirit medicine and wild edibles.
Eventually her studies led her to Ayurveda. She completed
the 100 Hour Ayurvedic Certification Course under the instruction
of Ed Zadlo. Bobbie began practicing yoga in college to
fulfill an athletic requirement. Having been a runner and
cyclist, she really enjoyed the peaceful place of stillness
that yoga offered. Not to mention the number it did on her
hamstrings! Yoga became for Bobbie a sanctuary from the
always moving, always on the go lifestyle that so many of
us are used to. Called to help others share in this peace,
she completed the Yoga Teacher Training Program at Yoga
On Main in January.
Bobbie's studies also include Auyervedic Thai Massage
with Michael Buck, the Radiant Yoga Child Programs with
Shakta Kaur Khalsa and AyurYoga Training with Bethalya.
Bobbie's hope is to eventually continue her path as a healer
and complete the Ayurvedic Practitioner course at The Ayurvedic
Institute.

For more information on Tony, Maureen, and the Philadelphia
Rebirthing Center: please visit www.philadelphiarebirthing.com
What is Rebirthing?, Rebirthing
(which is circular breathing for approximately an hour) relieves
the negative charge in cell memory. Rebirthing sessions with
a Practitoner aim to facilitate positive change through working
with the breath and taking responsibility for thoughts, feelings
and actions. The sessions will help to identify birth trauma,
family patterns, inherited attitudes and specific negative
thoughts. Rebirthers aim to support clients in using the breath
to ground themselves safely in their body during emotional,
physical releases and spiritual insights. This encourages
the clients' use of Rebirthing methods independently.
