Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain, A workshop at Samamkaya Yoga, Dec. 3rd

Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain at Samamkaya Yoga, NYC December 3rd 2015 View this email in your browser "Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing.  Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, however unlikely it may seem."  BKS Iyengar, Light on Life   Aches and pains.  We all have them.  Some of us have them in our head, some of us have them in our spine, some of us have them in our pinky toes. As an herbalist and yoga teacher I look at pain as a signal, a way for the body to communicate that something is out of harmony.  In this light pain can be seen as illuminating; it teaches us about ourselves and points us in the direction toward healing and growth.   There is no magic pill for pain, herbal or otherwise, but there are many plants that we can work with to manage pain and realign the parts of us that are out of balance. On Thursday, December 3rd I will be teaching a workshop on herbs for pain in the musculoskeletal system at Samamkaya Yoga. This workshop is part of Samamkaya Yoga's Holistic Healing Series and I am honored to be presenting this subject at this unique yoga and backcare center in Manhattan.   Details are below.

DETAILS:                     NYC Parks Commissioner, Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP, will present Parks Without Borders during community meetings in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island, and during a Queens Borough Board Meeting, and asks that community members and organizations join him to share input and nominate their parks.

 

Parks Without Borders is a new design concept that will be applied to city parks capital projects to improve the areas where parks meet their neighborhoods —Parks Without Borders (PWB). Supported by $50 million in Mayoral OneNYC funding, the new design approach focuses on improving park entrances, edges, and spaces adjacent to parks. By extending parks into communities, opening sight lines, adjusting gates, and adding furnishings outside parks’ traditional borders, Parks Without Borders will improve New Yorkers’ access to quality parks.

 

Integral to Parks Without Borders is community involvement. NYC Parks is asking New Yorkers, through a newly launched survey-site via www.nyc.gov/parks/pwb and community meetings to nominate any neighborhood park to receive PWB design suggestions. Based on input from community members, NYC Parks will choose eight parks to be reconstructed using PWB principles. Parks is also inviting community members and organizations to participate in this outreach effort, calling them to nominate neighborhood parks, and submit programming ideas they would put in place in the new spaces. Parks Without Borders’ park nominations will be accepted until February 28, 2016; Parks will select the eight strongest candidates and announce them in Spring 2016.
