Brain Balance Yoga: Summer Series!
2025-06-12 18:30 - 20:00 | Fairport Dance Academy, 1 Victoria Place, suite 140, Painesville, OH, 44077
with Erin Hill
Monthly Brain Balance Yoga is BACK for the SUMMER at FAIRPORT DANCE ACADEMY!
**Thursdays: June 12, July 10, and Aug 7 from 6:30-8:00 PM!**
Join Erin Hill for this class geared to help reduce systemic inflammation, combat anxiety and depression, and promote healthy aging!
This class explores movement therapy techniques geared to reduce anxiety, stress, and overwhelm, while helping the brain to process anger, grief, trauma and other difficult emotions.
The exercises also support the brain’s ability to shift and heal old negative beliefs about the self through specific movements, visualizations and breath-work.
The movement/breath-work formula also promotes healthy development and aging in the brain, while reducing inflammation in the nervous system. This is great for those with acute/chronic pain issues and auto-immune disorders.
The foundation of this class comes from Brain Dance by Anne Green Gilbert and other yoga and wellness teachings.
Brain Balance Yoga effects are cumulative, so there will be greater success if you can learn how to set up and practice the tools that work for you as frequently as possible.

Emotion Code Clinic with Betty Ashman & Michelle Gonzalez!
2025-07-28 16:00 - 19:00 | Fairport Dance Academy, 1 Victoria Place, suite 140, Painesville, OH, 44077
Monday, July 28 from 4-7 PM at Fairport Dance Academy.

Emotion Code:
Trapped emotions are charged emotional responses that have become stored in the body because of the overwhelming nature of the experience would not allow the conscious mind to logically recognize the emotion and process it.
The emotional baggage that we feel is each one of those trapped emotions to some degree being continuously felt in our day to day existence.
The Emotion Code is an energy healing modality that uses applied kinesiology and muscle testing to recognize trapped emotions and to release them from the body one by one.

During an Emotion Code session, the practitioner will begin with a brief meditation and breathwork and then ask yes or no questions until an emotion is found and then released.
In this 20 minute session clients could expect to release 5-8 emotions.
