SUMMARY:Exhibition: Nagi — Photographs by Tomoko Iki
DESCRIPTION:CRS announces Nagi\, an exhibition of portraits of pregnant women by photographer Tomoko Iki. The exhibition will be on view from February 2 – April 5\, 2017. You are invited to attend an opening reception with the artist with performance by dancer Lale Sayoko\, one of Iki’s subjects\, and her family on February 4 from 6 – 8 pm. \nIki greatly enjoys her work and approaches her subjects with joy and reverence. As is evident in her portraits\, Iki is able to bring her subjects to a place of stillness and self awareness\, enabling them to accept\, explore and share the divine feminine within themselves. Iki does not appear inside the photographs but her loving presence is implied in the soft\, radiant expressions of her subjects. We don’t usually think of calmness as energetic\, but through these serene portraits we can bear witness to the limitless power\, strength and presence of spirit preparing to give birth. You can see more of her work at http://www.frauphoto.com. \nTHE ARTIST’S CONCEPT \nMystical\, primitive energy exuded by pregnant woman reminds me of the feeling I get when surrounded and embraced by mother nature. \nEqually powerful and inspiring pure gratitude emerges\, and I feel a sense of hope and light. \nThrough mysterious pregnant women there is a feeling of layers of life history and life force. \nThe word “Nagi” has two meanings.\nIn an old Native American language it means “soul.”\nIn the old Japanese language it means “calm and silence.” \n______ \nARTIST STATEMENT \nI started doing photography and dance when I was a university student. Inspiration from dance influences my photography. Above all\, I am interested in femininity and the modern human’s relationship with nature. I have been taking woman’s portraits and photographs of nature since the beginning. \nIn 2011\, I was really impressed by the beauty and power of my pregnant friend when I took her portrait. That was the impetus for launching my own studio for pregnant women. Since then\, I have taken portraits of more than 1000 pregnant women. \nIn 2016\, I moved to NY\, and I am continuing to create photography incorporating the themes of femininity\, nature and dance. \n______ \nBio \nBorn in Japan (1984) \nGraduated from Department of Human Environment Design\,\nSchool of Life Studies\, Sugiyama Jogakuen University.\nActivities now based in New York. \n2016 received the KAWABA NEW NATURE PHOTO AWARD in the category of Art in Nature.\n2013\, launched her own studio “Photo Salon Frau” in Tokyo.\n2013\, solo exhibition “mother” held at the Rhythm Warp in Nagoya.\n2011\, exhibited at the group exhibition “foto-n 2nd exhibition” (X Gallery at the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art).\n2011\, launched her own studio “Photo Salon Frau” in Nagoya.\n2010\, solo exhibition “stile brau” held at the Valentine Drive in Nagoya.\n2007\, exhibited at the group exhibition “Kodo (Pulse)” at the Plastic Factory in Nagoya.\n2007\, started activities as a freelance photographer.

SUMMARY:Okinawa Time with Photographer Mao Ishikawa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk and presentation by Mao Ishikawa\, one of Okinawa’s most celebrated photographers\, about her work from the “Hot Days in Camp Hansen” and “Dai-Ryukyu Shashin Emaki.” Being an excellent essayist with her own original way of writing\, Mao is renowned in Japan as a speaker with keen insight\, profound love\, human sympathy and a wild sense of humor. Her aunt\, Teiko Yonaha-Tursi\, who has been living in the US since 1964\, will participate in the event. Teiko was a survivor of the Battle of Okinawa and is now a karate dance choreographer and dancer as well as a Goodwill Ambassador appointed by the Okinawan Government. She is active as an overseas reporter and essayist for the Okinawa Times newspaper. Enjoy the tropical intensity of Okinawa that this powerful and soulful aunt/niece team reflect. \nMao Ishikawa identifies strongly as an Okinawan photographer. Her first project\, “Hot Days in Camp Hansen\,” documented young women who worked in bars that catered to American soldiers\, particularly focusing on African-Americans who sometimes became their boyfriends. To capture the raw and direct image of subjects revealing “forbidden” relationships\, Mao herself worked as a bar hostess from 1975 to 1977 while taking these photos. \nHer current project is radically different in style from “Hot Days in Camp Hansen.” “Dai-Ryukyu Shashin Emaki” (The Great Ryukyu Photo Picture Scroll) is a scroll of color photos printed on a roll of cloth. Each photo theatrically represents an important historical scene in Okinawa\, from the times of the Ryukyu Kingdom to today. The project is motivated by fierce anger toward Okinawa’s current situation. Her rage is expressed with powerful satire and great humor\, which gives it an even stronger appeal to the viewers. \nAlthough her subjects and style has changed throughout her career\, her direct and brave approach to the harsh reality of Okinawa has always been resolute. Her challenging and sometimes controversial work has made a strong impact that has subsequently been the topic of discussion in numerous photo books and exhibitions\, engaging a wide range of enthusiastic admirers. \nDoors open 12:00 p.m. Start 12:15 p.m. \nAdmission fee : $10\nRSVP : MaoIshikawaInNY@gmail.com (Please mention the event name.) \nMao Ishikawa will be participating in several other events in NYC. Please find information about those events here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MaoIshikawaInNY/  \nProfile:\nMao Ishikawa was born 1953 in Okinawa where she currently lives and works as a photographer. In 1974\, she attended a photography workshop organized by the renowned photographer Shomei Tomatsu. Her focus has always been the Okinawan people and how they live their lives. \nTeiko Yonaha-Tursi\, MSW was born in Okinawa and is a WWII survivor. She worked at the American Newspaper company “Morning Star” in Oyama\, Okinawa. In 1964 Teiko Moved to the USA due to an interracial marriage. In 1978 her husband passed at the age of 41 due to the possible Agent Orange disease\, which had created an undiagnosed complicated internal disease. The children were 11\, 13 & 14 years old and Teiko was 37. He had been hospitalized every year since he had returned from Vietnam in 1968. After his untimely death\, Teiko and her 3 children began Karate training; around the same time Teiko began Martial arts dance and choreography. These activities still continue. In 2004 she retired from working as a counselor and Youth Case Manager at the Mental Health Agency in New Jersey. In 2006 Teiko was appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador by the Okinawan Government. In 2014 she resigned from Presidency of the Okinawa American Association of New York. Teiko has been active as an Overseas Reporter since 1992 for the Okinawa Times Newspaper\, Essayist since 2013.

SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk:  Operation Light Summit
DESCRIPTION:Governance of the Light\nCalling All Lightworkers \n\n\n\nWe are inviting people to join us in a talk and to participate in discussion\, all are welcome…. \nHow do we counter the darkness that is currently prevailing on the Earth in 2017? \nThere is deep and widespread concern about the aggressive stance of the war-makers worldwide\, and we recognize that violence\, corruption\, and deception abound on the planet. The Adepts are saying that humanity is facing a crisis of epic proportions – similar to the crisis in Atlantean days. This is a planetary\, rather than a regional\, crisis. \nWe are suggesting that each of us has the power to create peaceful and essential change from the relative calm of our own homes and we are offering tools with which to do this. The Adepts are saying it is now extremely urgent that each of us\, especially the lightworkers takes loving\, yet determined\, action to counter the darkness and negativity we face. \nEnquiries: operationlightsummit@unity-trust.org

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Beyond Prayer — Paintings by Yuko Kasahara
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] \nCRS announces Beyond Prayer\, an exhibition of abstract paintings by Yuko Kasahara of Japan. These paintings are like a record of Yuko’s prayers for the recovery of her mind following the shock of her parents’ separate deaths by suicide. Mainly using transparent watercolors and oil pastels\, she attempts to express and dialog with her feelings of loss and separation\, to move past them to reach something timeless and always shining in herself. The exhibition will be on view from April 6 – 25\, 2017. \nMessage from Yuko Kasahara About This Exhibition \nI think I always keep praying while I’m painting. Praying is to be honest\, to affirm the expression that came from within myself\, to change without fear\, and to confirm what is important to me. This is an exhibition of work that I made while interacting with my heart in that way. These works may be like personal journals. But I feel like when I dive deeply and deeply into my heart\, I can be reaching something like a sea of universality beyond individuals. I want to go there\, I want to meet you there. While making works\, I am praying like that. \nArtist Statement \nFor me\, painting is the same as living\, praying\, and forgiving. \nMy parents’ respective suicides were very shocking events for me. Because of that\, I lost my physical and mental condition. At that time\, I could only express desperate feelings in a self-destructive way. After a long period of time when I could not cry because too painful\, I could finally cry a little. I think that the next day I was able to make a drawing — one that could not be described as a proper picture — on a notebook with a ballpoint pen. \nFrom that day\, I drew\, drew and continued drawing. \nThis process naturally came to represent abstractly the feelings coming out from inside of me that I could not express through language. I use fine drawing a lot. During those times I draw every single stroke with prayer. \nAt first\, my purpose of painting was to just breathe through my emotions. But\, I discovered the power to organize and change my thoughts through painting. When I start painting\, I dare not plan what kind of work to make. As led by colors and shapes\, I draw allowing my hand to be guided moment by moment. To not plan is\, for me\, to keep my mind open to the possibilities. I listen carefully\, honestly\, keep opening my mind. Finished works always take me to a place that I had not thought of before. I feel that I have been living in that way. \nArtist Bio \n2016  Solo show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2015  Group show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2013  Start abstract painting with the current style \n2002  Graduated from Osaka University of Arts \n1977  Born in Osaka\, Japan \nI lost my father when I was 17 years old. I lost my mother when I was 35 years old. They both committed suicide. \nI myself have a developmental disorder (ADHD). \nI had a difficult time since childhood because of my family environment and because of my own character. Through studying A Course In Miracles painting\, and with the support of the people around me\, I deepened my connection to “Life\,” “Universality” and “Real thing” that cannot be lost\, and I regained the power to live. \nMy motto is “Various things happen in life\, but all is OK.” \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:The Genius of Flexibility: Level I Resistance Flexibility™ Affiliate Certification Training
DESCRIPTION:Principles of RF\, Beginner Self & Assisted RF\nThis event is open to all ages\, abilities\, and levels of experience. \nThe only prerequisite is an interest! \nThis is a great way to be introduced to Resistance Flexibility for personal or professional gain. \nTuition: $750\nSign up by April 2nd: $500\nIncludes six months of free access to The Genius of Flexibility’s Training Archive ($114 value)\nLearn more about The Genius of Flexibility’s Affiliate Certification Training \n\n\n\nAbout Resistance Flexibility\nThe Genius of Flexibility introduces the Resistance Flexibility™ (RF) training of Bob Cooley. Resistance Flexibility advances and unites physical therapy\, yoga\, personal training\, psychology\, traditional Chinese medicine\, and Genetic Personality Type theory. \nResistance Flexibility is a unique\, hands-on modality used to develop athletes and performers\, rehabilitate the severely and ordinarily injured\, and help people of all walks of life achieve their goals. Based on an original biomechanical and energetic analysis of the body and personality\, RF achieves unprecedented results. \nCourse Objective\nThis intensive is designed to introduce participants to the concepts\, principles\, and practice of RF. This includes basic self stretches\, basic assisted stretches\, mashing\, and an introduction to the physiological\, psychological\, emotional\, and spiritual upgrades that RF can facilitate. \nThis course includes lots of physical activity\, but you work at your own pace. Variations are taught for every exercise allowing people of all ages and abilities to fully participate. \nOne of the primary goals of this training is for each participant to leave knowing at least one self stretch and one assisted stretch that they are comfortable performing for each of the body’s 16 major muscle groups. \nAnother primary goal is to introduce participants to our growing community of health enthusiasts that are continually developing each other’s health through assisted stretching and the sharing of perspective. \nCourse Audience\nThe Affiliate Certification Training is designed for two categories of people: \n\nIndividuals who are interested in practicing Resistance Flexibility to accelerate their personal development\nIndividuals who are interested in becoming a certified trainer\n\nThose interested in training others professionally should know that the distinguishing feature of The Genius of Flexibility’s training programs when compared to other modalities is our priority on improving the health of the trainer before the health of the client. The true measure of success for our trainers is not what they can provide for the client\, but instead how developed they are themselves – physically\, psychologically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. We believe the trainer must first embody the changes possible through RF before they will ever be able to provide an optimal RF experience for others. This is not a program to train normal fitness professionals. \nThose interested in personal development will be provided with a powerful tool to improve all aspects of their flexibility along with community support from others who regularly practice self and assisted stretching. \nPreview of Concepts Covered\nThis course will teach you new concepts about flexibility such as… \n\nInflexibility is not caused solely by tense muscles\, but by the dense fascia and/or scar tissue that has accumulated in and around the muscles.\nYou must continuously resist and contract a muscle while lengthening it in order to exceed the tensile strength of the accumulated dense fascia which results in immediate increases in flexibility and strength.\nMost of the increases in flexibility occur when the muscle starts in a position where it is as short as possible and then lengthened\, not at the end point of the stretch where the muscle is already fully elongated.\nThe flexibility of a muscle is not just limited by its own health and ability\, but by the shortening capacity of its balancing muscle group.\nIt is commonly thought that simply weight training a muscle increases its ability to shorten\, however\, the ability of a muscle to shorten is dependent on its resistance flexibility.\nRange of motion does not equate to flexibility. True flexibility includes the health of the tissue and the muscle’s ability to continuously and fully contract concentrically\, eccentrically\, and isometrically throughout that range. Extreme range of motion is often an indicator of hyper mobility potentially leading to instability and damage of the joint structures.\nStretching is not just a physical activity\, but has direct and predictable associations with the physiological\, psychological\, emotional\, and spiritual parts of a person.\nStretching is not just a solo activity. Maximal results require the participation of others through assisted stretching.\n…and so much more!

Mainly using transparent watercolors and oil pastels\, she attempts to express and dialog with her feelings of loss and separation\, to move past them to reach something timeless and always shining in herself. The exhibition will be on view from April 6 – 25\, 2017. \nMessage from Yuko Kasahara About This Exhibition \nI think I always keep praying while I’m painting. Praying is to be honest\, to affirm the expression that came from within myself\, to change without fear\, and to confirm what is important to me. This is an exhibition of work that I made while interacting with my heart in that way. These works may be like personal journals. But I feel like when I dive deeply and deeply into my heart\, I can be reaching something like a sea of universality beyond individuals. I want to go there\, I want to meet you there. While making works\, I am praying like that. \nArtist Statement \nFor me\, painting is the same as living\, praying\, and forgiving. \nMy parents’ respective suicides were very shocking events for me. Because of that\, I lost my physical and mental condition. At that time\, I could only express desperate feelings in a self-destructive way. After a long period of time when I could not cry because too painful\, I could finally cry a little. I think that the next day I was able to make a drawing — one that could not be described as a proper picture — on a notebook with a ballpoint pen. \nFrom that day\, I drew\, drew and continued drawing. \nThis process naturally came to represent abstractly the feelings coming out from inside of me that I could not express through language. I use fine drawing a lot. During those times I draw every single stroke with prayer. \nAt first\, my purpose of painting was to just breathe through my emotions. But\, I discovered the power to organize and change my thoughts through painting. When I start painting\, I dare not plan what kind of work to make. As led by colors and shapes\, I draw allowing my hand to be guided moment by moment. To not plan is\, for me\, to keep my mind open to the possibilities. I listen carefully\, honestly\, keep opening my mind. Finished works always take me to a place that I had not thought of before. I feel that I have been living in that way. \nArtist Bio \n2016  Solo show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2015  Group show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2013  Start abstract painting with the current style \n2002  Graduated from Osaka University of Arts \n1977  Born in Osaka\, Japan \nI lost my father when I was 17 years old. I lost my mother when I was 35 years old. They both committed suicide. \nI myself have a developmental disorder (ADHD). \nI had a difficult time since childhood because of my family environment and because of my own character. Through studying A Course In Miracles painting\, and with the support of the people around me\, I deepened my connection to “Life\,” “Universality” and “Real thing” that cannot be lost\, and I regained the power to live. \nMy motto is “Various things happen in life\, but all is OK.” \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:The Genius of Flexibility: Level I Resistance Flexibility™ Affiliate Certification Training
DESCRIPTION:Principles of RF\, Beginner Self & Assisted RF\nThis event is open to all ages\, abilities\, and levels of experience. \nThe only prerequisite is an interest! \nThis is a great way to be introduced to Resistance Flexibility for personal or professional gain. \nTuition: $750\nSign up by April 2nd: $500\nIncludes six months of free access to The Genius of Flexibility’s Training Archive ($114 value)\nLearn more about The Genius of Flexibility’s Affiliate Certification Training \n\n\n\nAbout Resistance Flexibility\nThe Genius of Flexibility introduces the Resistance Flexibility™ (RF) training of Bob Cooley. Resistance Flexibility advances and unites physical therapy\, yoga\, personal training\, psychology\, traditional Chinese medicine\, and Genetic Personality Type theory. \nResistance Flexibility is a unique\, hands-on modality used to develop athletes and performers\, rehabilitate the severely and ordinarily injured\, and help people of all walks of life achieve their goals. Based on an original biomechanical and energetic analysis of the body and personality\, RF achieves unprecedented results. \nCourse Objective\nThis intensive is designed to introduce participants to the concepts\, principles\, and practice of RF. This includes basic self stretches\, basic assisted stretches\, mashing\, and an introduction to the physiological\, psychological\, emotional\, and spiritual upgrades that RF can facilitate. \nThis course includes lots of physical activity\, but you work at your own pace. Variations are taught for every exercise allowing people of all ages and abilities to fully participate. \nOne of the primary goals of this training is for each participant to leave knowing at least one self stretch and one assisted stretch that they are comfortable performing for each of the body’s 16 major muscle groups. \nAnother primary goal is to introduce participants to our growing community of health enthusiasts that are continually developing each other’s health through assisted stretching and the sharing of perspective. \nCourse Audience\nThe Affiliate Certification Training is designed for two categories of people: \n\nIndividuals who are interested in practicing Resistance Flexibility to accelerate their personal development\nIndividuals who are interested in becoming a certified trainer\n\nThose interested in training others professionally should know that the distinguishing feature of The Genius of Flexibility’s training programs when compared to other modalities is our priority on improving the health of the trainer before the health of the client. The true measure of success for our trainers is not what they can provide for the client\, but instead how developed they are themselves – physically\, psychologically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. We believe the trainer must first embody the changes possible through RF before they will ever be able to provide an optimal RF experience for others. This is not a program to train normal fitness professionals. \nThose interested in personal development will be provided with a powerful tool to improve all aspects of their flexibility along with community support from others who regularly practice self and assisted stretching. \nPreview of Concepts Covered\nThis course will teach you new concepts about flexibility such as… \n\nInflexibility is not caused solely by tense muscles\, but by the dense fascia and/or scar tissue that has accumulated in and around the muscles.\nYou must continuously resist and contract a muscle while lengthening it in order to exceed the tensile strength of the accumulated dense fascia which results in immediate increases in flexibility and strength.\nMost of the increases in flexibility occur when the muscle starts in a position where it is as short as possible and then lengthened\, not at the end point of the stretch where the muscle is already fully elongated.\nThe flexibility of a muscle is not just limited by its own health and ability\, but by the shortening capacity of its balancing muscle group.\nIt is commonly thought that simply weight training a muscle increases its ability to shorten\, however\, the ability of a muscle to shorten is dependent on its resistance flexibility.\nRange of motion does not equate to flexibility. True flexibility includes the health of the tissue and the muscle’s ability to continuously and fully contract concentrically\, eccentrically\, and isometrically throughout that range. Extreme range of motion is often an indicator of hyper mobility potentially leading to instability and damage of the joint structures.\nStretching is not just a physical activity\, but has direct and predictable associations with the physiological\, psychological\, emotional\, and spiritual parts of a person.\nStretching is not just a solo activity. Maximal results require the participation of others through assisted stretching.\n…and so much more!

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Beyond Prayer — Paintings by Yuko Kasahara
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] \nCRS announces Beyond Prayer\, an exhibition of abstract paintings by Yuko Kasahara of Japan. These paintings are like a record of Yuko’s prayers for the recovery of her mind following the shock of her parents’ separate deaths by suicide. Mainly using transparent watercolors and oil pastels\, she attempts to express and dialog with her feelings of loss and separation\, to move past them to reach something timeless and always shining in herself. The exhibition will be on view from April 6 – 25\, 2017. \nMessage from Yuko Kasahara About This Exhibition \nI think I always keep praying while I’m painting. Praying is to be honest\, to affirm the expression that came from within myself\, to change without fear\, and to confirm what is important to me. This is an exhibition of work that I made while interacting with my heart in that way. These works may be like personal journals. But I feel like when I dive deeply and deeply into my heart\, I can be reaching something like a sea of universality beyond individuals. I want to go there\, I want to meet you there. While making works\, I am praying like that. \nArtist Statement \nFor me\, painting is the same as living\, praying\, and forgiving. \nMy parents’ respective suicides were very shocking events for me. Because of that\, I lost my physical and mental condition. At that time\, I could only express desperate feelings in a self-destructive way. After a long period of time when I could not cry because too painful\, I could finally cry a little. I think that the next day I was able to make a drawing — one that could not be described as a proper picture — on a notebook with a ballpoint pen. \nFrom that day\, I drew\, drew and continued drawing. \nThis process naturally came to represent abstractly the feelings coming out from inside of me that I could not express through language. I use fine drawing a lot. During those times I draw every single stroke with prayer. \nAt first\, my purpose of painting was to just breathe through my emotions. But\, I discovered the power to organize and change my thoughts through painting. When I start painting\, I dare not plan what kind of work to make. As led by colors and shapes\, I draw allowing my hand to be guided moment by moment. To not plan is\, for me\, to keep my mind open to the possibilities. I listen carefully\, honestly\, keep opening my mind. Finished works always take me to a place that I had not thought of before.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Beyond Prayer — Paintings by Yuko Kasahara
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] \nCRS announces Beyond Prayer\, an exhibition of abstract paintings by Yuko Kasahara of Japan. These paintings are like a record of Yuko’s prayers for the recovery of her mind following the shock of her parents’ separate deaths by suicide. Mainly using transparent watercolors and oil pastels\, she attempts to express and dialog with her feelings of loss and separation\, to move past them to reach something timeless and always shining in herself. The exhibition will be on view from April 6 – 25\, 2017. \nMessage from Yuko Kasahara About This Exhibition \nI think I always keep praying while I’m painting. Praying is to be honest\, to affirm the expression that came from within myself\, to change without fear\, and to confirm what is important to me. This is an exhibition of work that I made while interacting with my heart in that way. These works may be like personal journals. But I feel like when I dive deeply and deeply into my heart\, I can be reaching something like a sea of universality beyond individuals. I want to go there\, I want to meet you there. While making works\, I am praying like that. \nArtist Statement \nFor me\, painting is the same as living\, praying\, and forgiving. \nMy parents’ respective suicides were very shocking events for me. Because of that\, I lost my physical and mental condition. At that time\, I could only express desperate feelings in a self-destructive way. After a long period of time when I could not cry because too painful\, I could finally cry a little. I think that the next day I was able to make a drawing — one that could not be described as a proper picture — on a notebook with a ballpoint pen. \nFrom that day\, I drew\, drew and continued drawing. \nThis process naturally came to represent abstractly the feelings coming out from inside of me that I could not express through language. I use fine drawing a lot. During those times I draw every single stroke with prayer. \nAt first\, my purpose of painting was to just breathe through my emotions. But\, I discovered the power to organize and change my thoughts through painting. When I start painting\, I dare not plan what kind of work to make. As led by colors and shapes\, I draw allowing my hand to be guided moment by moment. To not plan is\, for me\, to keep my mind open to the possibilities. I listen carefully\, honestly\, keep opening my mind. Finished works always take me to a place that I had not thought of before. I feel that I have been living in that way. \nArtist Bio \n2016  Solo show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2015  Group show (Kyoto\, Japan) \n2013  Start abstract painting with the current style \n2002  Graduated from Osaka University of Arts \n1977  Born in Osaka\, Japan \nI lost my father when I was 17 years old. I lost my mother when I was 35 years old. They both committed suicide. \nI myself have a developmental disorder (ADHD). \nI had a difficult time since childhood because of my family environment and because of my own character. Through studying A Course In Miracles painting\, and with the support of the people around me\, I deepened my connection to “Life\,” “Universality” and “Real thing” that cannot be lost\, and I regained the power to live. \nMy motto is “Various things happen in life\, but all is OK.” \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Yamuna Anatomy U — The Back
DESCRIPTION:I created Anatomy U because I believe the best way to learn about how the muscles and other soft tissue move the body is through experiencing this first hand in your own laboratory\, YOUR BODY.  Learning about muscles from a book\, or dissection does not give you the sensations live muscles CAN when they are palpated and worked from their origins to insertions\, in their natural order. \nAnatomy U makes your body your self study. You learn to feel how your muscles communicate with you and give you valuable information to be able to problem solve while feeling the interconnectedness of muscles in an area and actually far from the muscle being worked. As your body is feeling the sensation of the muscle you are working\, your mind is processing the information being received. This allows you to develop your problem solving skills in your own body and then be able to translate this if you work with other people professionally. \nAnatomy U is divided into modules and each module contains all the muscles of a specific area of the body. Let’s say you wanted to explore the muscles of your posterior leg. You would click on this segment and begin to work each muscle one at a time. After working each muscle it is suggested to observe\, feel\, and move the  part of the body the muscle is in to see what changes you feel from working the muscle. It is suggested to lie down after working a muscle to feel it and its effect on the whole body first. Then stand to feel the effects from an upright position. Next\, you choose another muscle in this module and watch how you build this body part to stand taller\, freer and with greater range of motion. \nWhat better way is there to get your body into its best working potential than to do it yourself and learn your anatomy as you go? \nPROFESSIONAL ANATOMY U TRAINING PROGRAM\nAdding this anatomy training to your practice will bring you a great tool when working with your client and patients helping them to problem solve with a visual and practical format. This anatomy program helps you to teach them how to be proactive and be part of their own problem solving journey. You will be raising the quality of your practice. People want to see\, and understand and be proactive when there is a problem in their bodies. Being able to show a person the muscles in a body part and  how to work each one enabling the person to be part of his problem solving is huge. \nWhat the Anatomy Lab will provide you: \n\nYou will learn how to work each muscle in every module from origin to insertion and really learn how these muscles feel and function through experience not book or dissection classes.\nYou will learn how to begin the problem solving journey making the determination of how to choose the next muscle to work based on : knowledge of the injury\, if any\, range of motion restriction\, where and how within the joint\, present workout\, assessing form\, function\, and restriction within the exercises where restriction is felt.\nYou will learn how to demonstrate and explain to clients which muscles to begin working on and have the ability to send them the specific muscles to be worked.\nYou will learn how to use Anatomy Lab as part of your personal training sessions with clients to start a session and demonstrate improved function when muscles are identified and awakened prior to training.\nYou will learn how to teach a group fitness class using the Anatomy U modules to educate more people at once. It is easy to offer these classes as self help offerings.\nYou will be provided with a written manual for each segment of the training to use as your anatomy guide to problem solving for yourself and your clients.\n\nFORMAT OF  ANATOMY LAB TRAININGS: \n*Each Anatomy Lab is taught in 3 days. Each module is 18 hours of study \n*Each muscle is explored within the app\, each person has time to explore how to use the program to view the muscle from every angle to best help other understand the function and location of a muscle. \n\nThe hands-on practice of using a module will be done in group studies to make sure every student can easily work the Anatomy U program\nEach participant will learn how to experientially work each muscle within the module and record the messages they receive from each muscle as it is worked.\n\n*Problem solving for each muscle is studied. \n*Understanding of  the fitness choices of  each client/patient and how to determine which order of muscles to work based on the activities most practiced by the client the client. \n\nLearn how to use the Anatomy U program during rehab to more rapidly assist rehabilitation\nQ&A sessions during the study of each muscle.
