Integral Health and Healing
with Amrita Sandra McLanahan, M.D. and Margabandhu Martarano, E-RYT 500, B.A.
April 5 - 7, 2019
Integrate Yoga, herbs, and Western medicine into your life and the lives of others for conscious healing. In this Integral Health and Healing workshop, healthcare professionals, Yoga teachers, and those with various health conditions are invited to learn how to use the full range of Yoga practices to heal the body and mind.
Explore the power of a Yoga framework to create and maintain healthy choices, experience enduring love within, and achieve an overall sense of peace and well-being.
Learn how to:
- Apply the latest research to understand the root causes of illnesses
- Utilize herbs to nourish the body and support nutrition and elimination
- Apply mind-body-spirit approaches for optimum health
- Use simple yogic formulas to improve eyesight, immune system function, digestion, hair growth, and more
- Determine what is missing in our diet and gain a thorough understanding of vitamins, minerals, and environmental toxins
- Practice shat kriyas (purification techniques) to clear the body of toxins and steady the mind for deeper meditation
- Calm and revitalize the system with pranayama (breathing exercises) and deep relaxation
Additionally, explore yogic techniques for preventing and responding to arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, and other conditions.
This is a uniquely supportive, enjoyable, and life-changing medical workshop led by old friends. Margabandhu and Dr. Amrita worked together in the former Connecticut Ashram for several years in the 1970s helping people heal themselves. Now their private practices are merging once again to bring their experience, wisdom, and love of Yoga to a new set of eager students, teachers, and health practitioners.
