Patricia Blackburn

Patricia Blackburn offers CranioSacral Therapy as well as yoga and meditation classes: all designed to provide you with gentle - wellness.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, effective method of easing away restrictions, blockages and discomfort. It relieves chronic pain and restores physical and emotional harmony. Here, a light touch by a skilled hand starts the healing process. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, CranioSacral Therapy releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. Attention is also given to soft tissue, connective tissue and musculature.
Yoga and Meditation Classes: Yoga is an ancient science of self-care. Hatha yoga, or the yoga of physical postures, benefits all the bodily systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, endocrine, musculo-skeletal, and lymphatic as well as the mind and emotions.The postures themselves, combined with breathing , meditation and relaxation techniques bring about increased states of mental and emotional serenity, normalized blood pressure and relief from stress and certain physical problems. Meditation helps to counteract the effects of stress, offering many health benefits.

Does size matter? Not in yoga. Yoga is for every body. In all yoga classes we strive to view our bodies with confidence, respect and acceptance. Everyone can learn and benefit from yoga's many aspects. Although this class has a few adaptations for "apple" and "hourglass" figure types, being a plus size woman does not mean you are not flexible, not able to balance well, not able to increase your strength. There are adaptations in many yoga classes depending on who is there; if you had a stiff neck or became dizzy easily in other yoga classes, your teacher would adapt poses for you.

Join us to enhance your life in many different ways:physically, emotionally and spiritiually. No "skinny-minnies" here, just sisters with the same physicality and the same goals.You will feel refreshed and relaxed after class. $12 per class session.
