You will feel comfortable and surprised you did not try it sooner! Please bring a large towel or a yoga mat and an open mind! Nancy May’s personal journey towards health and transformation began over 25 years ago. The journey inward was accelerated by her ongoing participation in a leadership role while assisting in motivational life-changing seminars (Pathways for Successful Living, Lifestream etc) throughout the years. Nancy continues to volunteer her time in that arena while developing and conducting her yoga and transformational workshops for the “soul” purpose that it enables her to continue her mission to inspire others in taking the steps necessary to make their dreams come true. Nancy was a Regional Vice President of an international company. Working in this arena has given her a deeper understanding of the corporate culture and related issues of stress and pressure. Yoga can help create more balance and energy and at the same time relax and let go of daily pressures. Nancy brings her unique and heart-felt yoga skills to all ages (4-76) throughout the US. She serves people from coast to coast having lived and trained in California. Her teaching style comes from her extensive own experience, courage and commitment to change and align her first -- it is both compassionate and challenging. Please call Nancy 630-587-0966 to attend or set up a class to fit your specific needs. |

Robin will give some
details and history about the man the American
Medical Association crowned "The Father of
Holistic Medicine," Edgar Cayce. The program will include ways to
incorporate a daily holistic routine into your life and you will leave
with an understanding of exactly what holism means. Robin will be able to
answer many of your questions about this mysterious
but gifted healer. For more information about Edgar Cayce, visit
www.edgarcayce.org. Robin Migalla has been an avid student of Edgar Cayce, for 34 years. Her initial interest was on a spiritual basis and began when she serendipitously discovered Jess Stern's "Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet". Like two tuning forks humming in perfect resonance, Cayce's kind of spirituality rang true to her inner being. One cannot be long on a spiritual journey through the Cayce readings before stumbling upon the axiom that the body is the temple of the living God. Working diligently to restore her own physical health, Robin found that the keys to vibrant health could truly be found in APPLYING the concepts of holism to her own life. It was Cayce who said, "What is knowledge, what IS understanding, if ye apply it not in thy daily life?" It is also through this application that she has had complete cure of her autoimmune thyroid disease. She currently works as a professional Colon Hydrotherapist in her own practice, Health For Life Colon Care, LLC, generously sharing her knowledge and experience with her clients. |

Our
thoughts and beliefs create our life experiences. They are the filters
through which we see, interpret, and experience the world. Like the
operating system in a computer, our beliefs run quietly in the
background, control our experiences, and often go unchallenged. By
examining our thoughts and beliefs and deciding whether or not they are
true, we have the power to radically change our lives. When our thinking
changes, our lives change. Life Coach, Spiritual Companion, & Inspirational Speaker. Plus over 20 years experience in Corporate Human Resources, Advertising, and Small Business Management. B.S. in Business Administration / Psychology I am a mother, grandmother, writer, speaker, life coach and, most importantly, a spiritual being. After spending several years in the corporate world and recovering from a yearlong illness, I knew there had to be a better, happier, healthier way to work and live in the world and in my own skin. I have always been a student of life and a seeker of truth and wisdom and, since 2004, I have dedicated my life to understanding and living an authentic, empowered, and inspired life. Through a daily practice of study, meditation and journaling, I have received many insights that have brought me much peace, joy, love, and gratitude. My passion and life’s work now is to share these insights and experiences with others. |
