Tuesday, September 18, 2012 12:00pm Monday, October 22, 2012 5:00pm Reflexology for the Hands with Carolyn Hales Perkins

Hand Reflexology is a simple way to utilize nature’s own healing methods for maintaining the body in good health. By working with the fingers or thumbs on the hands (or feet) we are influencing thousands of nerve endings that refer to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. In this workshop you will receive a handout and you will be shown simple ways to work on your own hands to alleviate pain, stress or any health imbalance. Unlike Foot Reflexology it is much easier and more convenient to work on your own hands which make it ideal to learn in a workshop.

Class registrations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis and guaranteed only once payment has been received. Registration will close one week prior to each session. IF a class does not have minimum (5 people for studio classes, 2 for Pilates studio classes), the class will be cancelled. IF there are enough students enrolled for the 6 wk session, then we can accept single class enrollments -- up until the class maximum (8 people for group studio (10 for Tai Chi), 4 people for Pilates studio classes). No one may register for another person. Please note: For both new and continuing students, the only way to guarantee your space in a class is to prepay. **Please be aware that registration in one session DOES NOT guarantee registration for subsequent sessions without full advanced payment.
