ACTIVITIES:
There is plenty to do at our Breitenbush retreat besides the soaking in geothermally heated tubs, diving in the ice cold river, networking with friends and colleagues, and hiking in old growth forest. Take a look at the offerings below, and note that some require advanced sign-up.
Nutritional Self Care - Free Class with Yasuo Mori, LMP and Shiatsu Master
In this class Yasuo will share his knowledge of nutritional self-care based on his 37 years of shiatsu experience and deep understanding of macrobiotics. If you want to connect with your clients in a deeper way and become a better practitioner or healthier person, you cannot rely on technique alone. Yasuo will share his thoughts on what foods to eat, how to eat, and how to cook for superior health. You will discover how to eat according to yin and yang, the seasons, acid/alkaline and more. This class will be a general discussion format and not necessarily a lecture. You'll learn not only from Yasuo, but each other. This class is open to everyone.

Edgu Classes
EDGU (pronounced
edge-you) is evolutionary spinal maintenance. Grounded in an open stance, the upper body is gracefully gyrated through a free flowing series of pivotal movements. This art of rhythmic flexibility systematically exercises the central column, releases body blocks, unifies the left and right hemispheres of the body/brain and aligns the vertebrae.
