Stress Busters Yoga with Stephanie Troy Saturday March 27th 1:30-4:15pm
Stephanie will present an innovative workshop which will treat how
stress manifests in the mind and body. Our thoughts and belief
systems are quite powerful. They can be calming and soothing. They
can also bring us into a state of "monkey brain" where our mind is
jumping from one thought to the next and quickly becoming more
stressed. Stephanie will present techniques to quiet your mind along
with a juicy yoga sequence to melt the stress in your body. This
combination stills the monkey and brings us into a state of harmony!
We will be practicing pranayama, meditation and asana. You may also
want to bring a journal to jot thoughts/insights down. All
participants will leave calm & centered and with a packet of handouts
to help you continue on your journey of busting through the stress! Workshop is $45. Pre-registration cost is $40.

This tapping technique is often called "emotional acupuncture" - but no needles are used.
Bring your experiences of how stress is affecting you. Through an easy to learn technique, you may be able to eliminate—or greatly
reduce—your anxiety. Watch your tension levels drop in a very short time, and replace the stressful thoughts with more
positive ones. This quick and pain free technique typically provides lasting results.
Format:
• Open discussion on work stress
• Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) will be explained and everyone will get to use this easy-to-learn technique
• Your stress level will be tested throughout the workshop
• Typically, by the end of the workshop, your intensity level will have dropped
• More positive attitudes about living a calmer, balanced life will be instilled
• During the workshop, all cell phones/pages must be turned off (even the vibration of a cell phone will effect your results)
Please bring a bottle of water and a pen (*Linda- I didn't know if you had water available for attendees- tapping makes people thirsty- and we get the best results when people are hydrated with water (not sodas, etc)
• To maximize your experience of this special workshop, please view a very short (7 minute) video on www.successcoachingwithKate.com (* not necessary, but its helpful to watch)
About Kate...
Kate is a Success Coach helping people eliminate whatever obstacles are blocking their success. The powerful technique she uses is
Meridian Tapping Techniques (MTT- which includes Emotional Freedom Techniques- EFT). These tapping techniques have been popular
in California and Europe since the early 1990’s. Its often referred to as "emotional acupuncture". Although, its not a miracle drug, the
results are typically fast, pain free and lasting. Negative emotions, behaviors and pains are usually eliminated quickly and then replaced
with the positive behavior and emotions the person wants. This technique is so strong that it was used to help many Viet Nam veterans
several years ago to help them get over many of their PTSD that they have been living with for decades, they were able to eliminate many
of these severe problems in several sessions! Kate works with clients individually and in workshop settings. Her radio show,
