SUMMARY:Heart Centered Meditation with Dr. Aneela Cox
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are looking for a different approach to meditation\, or wanting to try it for the first time\, we hope you can join in Wednesday mornings at 6:30 am as Dr. Aneela Cox leads us in a thirty minute heart centered meditation! Every Wednesday through March 31\, 2021\, Dr. Cox will be offering free guided heart centered meditations via Zoom. You can register through this link.  \n\nIn most spiritual practices\, the heart center is the key to diving into deeper states of consciousness. The heart-centered meditation (HCM) is different from most meditation practices (mindfulness based\, Zen meditations\, etc). It uses four attributes: compassion\, innate harmony\, healing presence and unconditional love to connect to the heart space. This meditation also uses the Karunesh Heart Chakra Meditation soundtrack to deepen the practice.\n\nThe heart-centered meditation was given to Aneela by her teacher\, Dr. Ann Marie Chiasson\, the fellowship director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. Her teacher states that “We must Windex the heart everyday\,” which the HCM allows her to do. Aneela has practiced and taught various styles of meditations over the past decade and she feels called to share the HCM with the Asheville community through IFMA.

SUMMARY:2021 Winter Reboot
DESCRIPTION:After the holidays are over\, join us in starting the New Year off with a focus on whole foods and optimizing your health! Offered exclusively to members of IFMA\, the IFMA Winter Reboot will take place from February 2nd to March 25\, 2021.  Our Health Coach\, Ariana Figueroa\, will support participants as they prepare for and complete a Whole30. \nThe Whole30 is an elimination diet geared towards removing the most common inflammatory food groups from your diet for thirty days. This means removing sugar\, dairy\, alcohol\, grains\, and legumes for thirty days. Instead\, the focus is on whole foods: vegetables\, fruits\, nuts\, seeds\, and healthy-sourced animal products. If you are vegetarian or vegan\, Ariana can help you adapt the Whole30 accordingly. Upon completing a Whole30\, many people find that they have learned about which foods help them feel vibrant\, gained insight into how they might want to eat differently moving forward\, and just feel better all around. \nThis Winter Reboot will include weekly Zoom check-ins\, short videos with tips on how to prepare and successfully complete a Whole30\, and daily messages with advice and inspiration via the Elation Passport Portal. Preparatory support will start on February 2\, 2021. The Whole30 will begin on February 8 and run through March 10. During the reintroduction period that follows\, support is available until March 25\, 2021. \nImportant Details: The Reboot is open to any Integrative Life Member\, free of charge.

SUMMARY:Building Resilience with Slow\, Mindful Yoga with Kristine Kaoverii Weber\, MA\, c-IAYT\, eRYT500
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is not simply an exercise practice that can help you get in shape or become more flexible.  \nWhen practiced slowly and mindfully\, yoga can be a powerful component in building a more resilient nervous system.

Slow\, mindful yoga offers an important opportunity for low-cost\, low-risk stress management and proactive self-care. In this 60-minute IFMA community class\, Kristine Kaoverii Weber yoga therapist and founder of Subtle® Yoga will discuss scientific findings which suggest that there may be important neurobiological benefits of regularly practicing slow\, mindful movement; she will also guide participants through a 20 minute chair yoga class. \nKristine Kaoverii Weber\, MA\, c-IAYT\, eRYT500 has been studying yoga and holistic healing for 30 years\, teaching since 1995\, and training yoga teachers since 2003. She is the director of the Subtle® Yoga Teacher Training for Behavioral Health Professionals program at MAHEC in Asheville\, NC; and presents workshops and trainings internationally.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Lab with Emily Horn
DESCRIPTION:In this meditation session we will focus on nervous system support as we soften into the present moment. This is easier said than done. To gently allow for this\, we will bring focus to compassion and the foundations of mindfulness (breath\, body sensations\, emotions\, and thinking). These universal foundations root us here and empower us to choose our next actions. This session will include silent and guided meditation. Please come prepared to practice individually and participate in this group experience. \nEmily Horn is an authorized dharma and meditation teacher through Spirit Rock Meditation Center\, Insight Meditation Society\, and InsightLA. She is also a Certified Mindfulness Teacher via the International Mindfulness Teachers Association. Emily has been called a “power player of the mindfulness movement" by Wired Magazine. Her meditations are featured in the 10% Happier\, Brightmind\, and buddhify apps. For her\, a mindful life is simply learning to dance with all of this human experience: from transcendence to dirty dishes\, evolutionary edges to ancient roots\, and solitary practice to deepening relationships. Emily lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with her husband\, Vince\, and son\, Zander. \nThe class is free and open to the community at large. If you are interested in attending please register prior to 10:00 am on July 23 by clicking on this link. Zoom Meeting details will be included in the confirmation email received after registering. This class will be recorded\, edited to protect participant privacy\, and the final version will be made available here.

SUMMARY:The Gifts in Disruption with Andrew Burdette\, LCHMCA\, LCASA
DESCRIPTION:When we experience disruption in our lives\, it often stirs our fears and feeds our anxiety. In these times\, it is valuable to recognize the opportunities that come with interruption. As most of us are spending more time at home\, it can be easy to feel isolated from those close to us and the activities we previously engaged in that helped us find balance. Directing our attention and engagement toward connecting with family and friends remotely and pursuing some of our passions in the newly created space within our lives are some of the gifts this disruption offers. This class is intended to help you become aware of the gifts this disruption offers you and present some tools to help you recenter\, ground\, and manage the fears and anxiety you may be experiencing. \nAndrew Burdette\, LCHMCA\, LCASA\, began working with clients in 2016 by helping them address substance use issues. In 2018\, he completed his Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Appalachian State University with coursework in addictions\, multicultural counseling\, and mindfulness. In addition to his undergraduate and graduate studies\, Andrew also has training and experience in mindfulness and meditation techniques\, as well as using bio and neurofeedback tools to assist individuals in balancing the body-mind system. He most enjoys helping individuals develop deeper\, more authentic connections with themselves and others to live a more integrated\, fulfilled life.  \nIf you are interested in attending this class\, please register prior to April 15 at 12:00pm.  The class is free and open to the community at large. Zoom Meeting details will be included in the confirmation email received after registering at this link: https://integrativefamily-med-asheville.as.me/?appointmentType=12137068.  This class will be recorded\, edited to protect participant privacy\, and the final version will be made available here.

If you are vegetarian or vegan\, Ariana can help you adapt the Whole30 accordingly. Upon completing a Whole30\, many people find that they have learned about which foods help them feel vibrant\, gained insight into how they might want to eat differently moving forward\, and just feel better all around. \nThe Winter Reboot will include a live demo of “batch cooking” for a typical Whole30 week and short videos with tips on how to prepare and successfully complete a Whole30. With just this one in-person activity\, the Reboot is geared for folks who want remote access and team support.  Between January 20–February 2\, the focus will be on preparation.
