A couple of weeks back I was part of a video shoot at Healthfirst. I teach meditation and chair yoga classes there a few times per month and they wanted to be able to share my classes with their employees that work remotely. The videos are posted above for you to check out. Enjoy!
Have you taken your energy shower today? I teach a corporate yoga class at Healthfirst, a health insurance company located in NYC. This week we split our hour together working 30 minutes on a meditation practice and 30 minutes doing chair yoga. In our chair yoga session we practiced some energy work to get the blood flowing, release any pent up stress in the muscles and to give them easy tools in their toolbox to use at their discretion. I came up with the ‘energy shower’ and it’s awesome! Here’s a little clip of what it looks like. Practice this exercise at any time of day. If one spot feels extra good then stay there and shower yourself. Soak up the energy, you need it, we all do! Here’s another interesting past post that I’ve written.
“Earlier this year I conferenced with Shira on the phone and what a relief it was to finally talk to someone who understood what was going on with my stomach! In desperation and in determination not to use prescription or over the counter medication, I did an Internet search for someone who could teach me meditation, yoga and address my stomach ails. I didn’t think I would find someone who could address all three, but I did! Shira was perfect for what I needed. She taught me in a simple and doable way, how to relax my body (particularly my stomach) through breathing and meditation and how to incorporate yoga into my daily routines. I couldn’t believe that I finally was able to quiet my mind and do some simple, but very effective yoga asanas everyday and feel so good afterwards.

I had been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and GERD and was to take “the little purple pill.” With Shira’s guidance and dietary suggestions (she took the time to research and email me her findings) I did not have to resort to taking any medicine, Instead I did what she suggested and now my condition is under control with the added perk of knowing what to do when I feel a flare up coming.
I sincerely believe that the universe guided me to Shira and I all the better for it. It isn’t often that we encounter people who genuinely care and whose energy fills you with peace when you are in their presence.
If you are looking for someone with patience, understanding and knowledge on how to deal with stress Shira is the one to reach out to. If you want to improve your quality of life, Shira is the one to seek out. You will be so grateful that you did.”
