BRENDAN THORSON, LMP, has been studying Qigong, Tai-chi, Meditation and Yoga for 16 years. In 1999 Brendan began studying YiRen Qigong, which awoke in him the mysterious qi, completely turned his health around and dramatically improved his life.
During this workshop Brendan will discuss the role and benefits Yi Ren Taichi and Qigong can have on reversing the aging process specifically related to "Balancing and Strengthening Hormones". It is common knowledge today that many people regardless of age, (20's, 30's, 40's, 50's 60's, or 70's), can feel dramatically better, maintain their strength and possibly improve their strength from hormone replacement therapy. During this workshop I will explain the bridge between the anatomy and physiology of how Yi Ren qi gong can nourish and correct the human body related to hormones. Come to this workshop and learn how a combination of taking YiRen Taichi and Qigong classes and incorporating some of the exercises into a personal practice can make you look/feel younger and improve your hormone levels.
Alex and Terri Cole are traveling from Seattle to San Diego visiting 100 yoga classes in 100 days! They review and blog about their experience on their website. They came to Planet Earth on Sunday, June 28th and tried out Hatha Gaya Yoga. Here is the blog from their experience:
"We found Planet Earth Yoga as we passed the colorful Fremont Sunday Market, on the 2nd
floor of a converted old house, brimming with character. The unique
studio space was spectacularly spacious and completely alive with
activity from the tight group of Laura devotes’ who came to loosen and
“love it up”. Laura, a giving soul, laser-lead this happy bunch for
the next 11/2 hours insisting on long, smooth, deep breaths
complimenting every creative liquid movement. Her easy to follow flows
allowed the YoYos to feel the full depth of every asana and release any
tense, tired muscles, hidin’ or not so hidin’, deep inside. With
precise instruction, Laura encouraged her students to find their
breath, their rhythm and flow beautifully with it, creating a
dance-like movement.
Laura’s healing doesn’t stop in her studio; she has been sharing her
special gift of recovery and rejuvenation with cancer patients for the
past 10 years at the University of Washington Medical Center. Seems to
the YoYos that folks in this ‘hood are lucky to have this Seattle
Sister!"

Making Soup From the Bones is a conscious men's gathering that focuses on cultivating emotional, spiritual and physical well being in a supportive environment of mutual respect using a nourishing mix of indigenous wisdom, mytho-poetic men's work and the expressive arts to awaken our full potential as men.
As the title implies, this group will deal primarily with issues of grief, loss, woundedness and the soul's call to healing and authentic initiation through the crucible of the life altering events in our lives, both past and present.
Making Soup From the Bones will be a closed group (no drop ins please) with a maximum of twelve men. We will meet weekly from 6:30-9:00 PM Wednesday evenings beginning September 2nd and continuing through December 16th, 2009. Cost for all 16 sessions is $375 up front or four monthly payments of $100. Scholarships can be arranged for those in need. Art supplies and field trip(s) from Seattle to the regional Olympic Men's Council in Port Townsend are included.
