Next class: Cranial Nerves
Monday October 21
These are the 12 nerves that come off both sides of the brain itself unlike most nerves which come off the spinal column. Since they are so close to the brain they have a major impact on performance and pain. Discover if you have minor cranial nerve issues before they become major ones, and learn corrective rebalancing drills to address any issues. Monday, October 21, 7:15-8:30pm.

Cerebellum and other Brain areas
A major part of the cerebellum's job is Accuracy, Balance, and Control of movement. Through simple assessments you will detect if there are imbalances in the functioning of the cerebellum and other parts of the brain between the right and left sides. Cerebellum activation drills will then be offered for rebalancing the two sides.

Embodying Resilience/Leadership Embodiment
First Thursdays of the month (Nov. 7, Dec. 5),
6-8 pm Your Well-Being Studio, 351 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland.
This work is based on the principles of the revolutionary, non-aggressive Japanese martial art of Aikido, and mindfulness. Through interactive exercises we explore recognizing our reactive habitual patterns in dealing with pressure and stress. We then learn to shift our attention with an embodied centering practice that accesses a state of being which offers a greater capacity to act with wisdom, confidence, and compassion. By being able to recognize our patterns and having the capacity to shift to a different state we are able to be more resilient to the stresses and pressures that life throws at us.
T'ai Chi Chih, Joy through Movement®
Wednesdays 10:30-11:00 followed by meditation until 11:30
T’ai Chi Chih® is a moving meditation consisting of
20 easy-to-learn, accessible movements. A form of qigong, T’ai Chi Chih® circulates and balances the chi or energy of the body with the intention of bringing stillness and calm to the heart mind in the midst of activity.
