Well it certainly feels like summer is back with us once again! The stormy weather was a welcome break what with the cooler temperatures it brought! It's back to feeling like we're all melting once again! I hope you've all had a good month and are enjoying this quieter period that's come to the city. I always enjoy the summer season in Jaipur as it has a certain calmness to it not experienced in other months. I know that many of you are travelling right now but for those still in the city, we're still here and providing a range of therapy treatments. Weekends are our busiest times as always.
I've also been doing a bit of travel, having recently returned from a meditation training course up in Manali. The training was helpful and insightful and continues to help with the mind and well being classes we are now running regularly at the studio. We're looking to bring you more varied classes and wellbeing workshops in the monsoon season. There's a lot going on behind the scenes at J.R.T at present as we continue to develop and expand the studio and the different offerings we have.
Talking of travel, I will be away from 27th June till 13th July inclusive as I'm traveling Indonesia with my sister. You've got just under two weeks to book and have sessions so there's plenty of time.
As for the latest updates.....
NEW WEBSITE
Summer is always an opportunity to work on elements that you've less time for throughout the year and we're no different. At the moment I'm busy working on over hauling the Jaipur Remedial Therapies website to incorporate all the different things we now offer at the centre including our various classes from exercise to meditation. Not to mention the new dry needling that we offer, the add on exercise program and physiotherapist Mahela. Once it's complete I will share it with you all.
It will be a helpful guide for you all to learn more about the different treatments offered, how each treatment can benefit you and how we can get body and mind into the best possible shape.
DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is continuing to go well. I have passed my theory exam and now finishing my final case studies. I'm really enjoying using dry needling and seeing the difference it can make when used in particular cases. It's not needed in all treatments and best used for specific issues or at times when i feel needling would be helpful.
I'm seeing a huge benefit by combining it with deep tissue massage and then adding on the dry needling at the end of the session. The deep tissue massage softens, warms and loosens up the muscles greatly and for any really tight areas that are resisting and still remaining tight, dry needling is effective when used here. It's beneficial in both chronic and acute situations. There'll be a more detailed write up about it on the new website but that gives you a little more insight for those who were asking. It's simply another way of getting into a tight area of tension and restriction but one that is proving very effective.
I'm happy to chat about dry needling further for anyone who is interested in incorporating this into their therapy session.
PAUSE ON CLASSES ON FOR THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS
With everyone traveling especially our instructors, our classes are on hold till July. Our fitness & strength instructor Shivangi, has just completed the toughest one day endurance test in the world by completing the Iron Man challenge. We couldn't be more proud of her and are so glad to have her on board running classes. We plan to increase her classes to twice a week from July so that there's more opportunities to sign up and the option to be able to work out with her twice a week.
The meditation classes will resume once again from July when I return from my travels. That includes the new guided meditation group and the regular sound meditation groups.
We're hoping to bring you some new additional classes starting in the monsoon season too so there'll be lots of classes to choose from.
10 SESSION PROMO
We're also introducing our 10 session class package.
Attend 10 classes within a 3 month period and you'll get the 11th session free. You can mix and match between classes in the same price bracket/class length and with several classes a week to choose from , there's lots of scope to get your sessions in and get the most from the centre.
SUMMER SOLSTICE SOUND & GUIDED MEDITATION CLASS
Although our classes are on hold, I couldn't miss the opportunity to put on a sound and guided meditation class for the summer solstice. It is a pivotal point in the year, marking the half way point and the longest day of the year. It is a beautiful energetic time of the year. On previous occasions i have celebrated at Stonehenge as the summer rises on this auspicious day.
I will be holding a sound and guided meditation centred around new beginnings, gratitude and abundance for this half way point of the year. The session will be held at 6pm on Wednesday 21st June.
That's it for this month! I'll be back next month with the latest round ups and will have the new website and additional classes to share with you! Have a great summer month😊
