Division of Adult & Continuing Education @ LaGuardia Community College Personal Development Center for Alternative Health Health and Healing The Center for Alternative Health and Healing is the result of a one-day alternative health fair held at LaGuardia in 2005. From this inaugural event, an array of courses and workshops, taught by distinguished teachers and healing practitioners, has been developed. These workshops and courses are a unique opportunity for you to experience some of the many complementary and alternative health and healing practices available today. They will plant the seeds of change in your life and that of those you touch--at home, at work and in your community. New! Hatha Yoga I Understanding Your Dreams For health and serenity, people of all ages have turned to yoga to relieve tension and increase flexibility. Explore in a non-competitive manner how the various poses can bring vitality, comfort, self-healing and well-being. The course will cover warm-ups, sun salutation, standing poses, forward bends, backward bends, inversions, twists, breathing practices, meditation and deep relaxation. Attention will be given to your special muscular or skeletal problems. Please bring a mat to each class.

Come to class in loose comfortable clothes and flexible shoes. Wed Jan 14 - Mar 4 (8 sessions/12 hours) 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm $99 A05FIT901A New! The Healing Power of Therapeutic Touch Since ancient times, human touch has been used therapeutically all over the world. We are experiencing a return to that wisdom as we witness the blending of Eastern and Western medical traditions. In this workshop you will explore various healing touches, including Swedish and Mongolian massage, acupressure, energetic healing touch, and emotional release touch. You will learn how to apply healing touch to yourself and others. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a blanket or yoga mat. Please do not wear perfume, cologne, scented oils or hairspray. Sat Feb 21 (1 session/7 hours) 10:00 am - 5:00 pm $79 A05WKS203A New! Soul Retrieval: Healing the Fragmented Self Become trained in working with issues of loss of life force and vitality, due to personal trauma and illness, from a shamanic perspective. In this advanced four-day workshop, you will learn how to use the Shamanic Journey to track and return a person’s lost essence and vivacity. Special emphasis will be given to communication skills, tracking methods, and how to integrate healing into a healthier daily life. This workshop is for those who wish to bring Soul Retrieval into their practice with others and not for personal healing. Prerequisites: Shamanism 101, or similar workshop, and a pre-admission screening. Suggested reading: Soul Retrieval – Mending the Fractured Self, by Sandra Ingerman.
