Relaxation

We invite you to release trapped emotions from recent and past events that have been held prisoner in your subconscious mind (allowing you to create freedom in your existence) and join us for a Restorative Yoga and Sound Healing experience on Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 4:00 PM.

CARSON CITY — Ashley Rodriguez, formerly at Liaison, has joined the team of stylists at Paradise Salon, Spa, and Wellness Center.

Join us once a month to relax through art! Every month we will explore a different technique to use art to help de-stress. For the month of January, we will be making handwoven potholders. Registration is required. Zoom link will be sent out morning of the program.

We are only 5 days away from Mother's Day! Buy her the gift of Massage! As you well know, moms are constantly taking care of others…whether it’s under normal circumstances when they’re shuttling kids to and from school and practices or preparing dinner for the entire family, or, while they’re stuck at home - finding ways to keep everyone active, homeschooling and making sure the family stays in good health …they are always putting someone else first.

Gov. Steve Sisolak says he expects to know much more next week about whether conditions are right to either end or extend directives that have shut down much of the state, but cautioned that he had no “benchmark date” in place and that any easing of restrictions would likely be gradual.

Editor’s Note: Richard Stokes is the Carson City School District Superintendent.
Dear Friends, I wanted to send my very best wishes to each of you for a peaceful and safe Spring Break. During the past three weeks, I have marveled at the professional services and selfless acts of kindness you have delivered during one of the most incredible events of my career.

Carson Tahoe believes that mental health is an important part of your well-being. With the changes that we have experienced in our daily life routines due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s important to be aware of our mental health status and continue to take care of ourselves.

I’ve been working long hours. I hired an assistant to help with some of the projects that I deemed “on the floor” so I could put my effort toward billable hours. It’s been quite the juggling act in 2020. I feel like I’m being given a life lesson in what’s important, what’s crucial, and what keeps me smiling. Oddly enough, they are not all one in the same. Yet, they all have something in common.

Hello Carson City and welcome to the first day of the work week. Today is Monday, April 15, 2019. Sure it's tax day and all and sure the weather outside is expected to be windy with a chance of showers. But these shouldn't shake your enthusiasm for another awesome day in our great capital city. Onward and upward we go.

Tax Day is coming and we want to give you a reason to relax. No taxation without relaxation!

Come on down to The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada in Carson City where we will be outside on Monday, April 15 from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM giving away FREE Kona Ice!

We can't wait to Chill Out with you!

Happy New Year! This new year brings the opportunity to refresh, renew, purify, and transform your energetic body through healing qigong.

Come learn this gentle movement form of Qigong, called Sheng Zhen Qigong, with Deborah Stevenson in an eight-week series.

Committing to a full eight weeks allows you to learn the form in a progressive way, with each week building on the last. By the end of the eight weeks, you will have a good base for creating your own qigong practice at home.

What is Qigong?

Do you have achiness and discomfort in your body, and are not sure what to do about it? Is your body changing and presenting new and unique challenges in your yoga practice? Do you want to explore new ways to stretch and release the tight areas of your body?

Ogres-Holm Pottery has brought calm and relaxation to Carson City.

Now the family-owned business has expanded inside the Carson Mall at 1215 South Carson Street.

The Beginner Yoga class is a course for those new to yoga and for those who have tried yoga and are ready to renew their practice. Mary Kay is skillfull in working with all body types. The class will focus on self acceptance of the body, providing support to enjoy the pose with the use of props when needed. The instructor is Mary Kay Raponi.

An intention of gratitude, curiosity and relaxation is offered in the class while you experience:

Deborah Stevenson offers a refreshing, six-week series, featuring simple movements and guided meditations for balance and renewal. This Sheng Zhen Qigong course is suitable for beginners who have an interest in meditation but "can't sit still." Qigong means “energy in motion” and its purpose is to open and purify the heart. Sitting, standing, and lying down meditations will be introduced. This class is perfect for seniors. Non-yogis are welcome; the form is easy to learn.

Yoga Nidra is 75 minutes worth of the perfect antidote to a frenetically busy life and compounded daily stresses. The practice is composed of various parts: Savasana (corpse pose for deep rejuvenation), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal and the ability to quiet the mind, letting go of biased thought, opinions, habitual ways of processing information, and cultural programming), Pratipaksha Bhavana (intentionally replacing one thought with another, also known as positive thought replacement), surrender to the practice, deep breathing, focusing the mind, and deep relaxation.

Partnership Carson City is hosting a Diabetes Self-Management Class developed by Stanford University. Class meets for two and a half hours on Fridays, for six weeks. The first class is on May 19 and meets from 9:45 to 12:30 pm at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1201 N. Saliman Rd., Carson City.

Description:

Beginning Dec. 19, Deborah Stevenson offers a refreshing, new class, featuring simple movements and guided meditations done sitting in a chair.
This form, called Sheng Zhen Qigong, is suitable for beginners who have an interest in meditation but "can't sit still." More advanced meditators will find it adds a whole new dimension to their experience, for it closely parallels lovingkindness practice. Its purpose is to open and purify the heart. Sheng Zhen means unconditional love.

The social scene is changing in Carson City and elsewhere.

These days a night out is looking less like club or bar hopping and more like painting ... with a cocktail.

Think Van Gogh and DaVinci; not Behr and Valspar.

Popular culture sensationalizes the martial arts as inflicting pain, but the reality is that these ancient practices are more about internal healing than forms of defense.

Take control of your diabetes! Partnership Carson City invites you to a free diabetes self-management class beginning May 13. Stanford University developed this research based program.

Time: 2:00 pm -4:30 pm

As of Saturday, I am retiring as the Outdoor Editor for Carson Now and a very special outdoor photographer (my wife Elaine) will also be retiring.
It's been a great run, full of great memories, but sooner or later all good things must come to an end, and Oct. 31 is that special time for the two of us.

This is a 6 week class that explores the very basics of yoga. Class size is limited to allow for personal attention. Learn about your core (what the heck does that mean, anyway?) how to move in and out of basic poses, and learn a few classic introductory yoga postures. There will be opportunity to modify all poses and movements based on the needs of your body – learn how to adapt yoga to what your body needs instead of trying to fit your body into an unrealistic pose. We will include elements of strength, flexibility, balance, and breath, and will always end with a bit of relaxation.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada and Northern California. This report is for the week of Aug. 19, 2015 and beyond. Nevada Department of Wildlife fishing reports for Western Nevada waters are not included as their most current reports are dated June 04.

Deborah Stevenson has been practicing energy healing through Reiki and qigong since 2000 and teaching since 2003. She currently teaches Sheng Zhen Qigong in the tradition of her teacher, Master Li Jun Feng. Sheng Zhen means unconditional love.

Stevenson will bring the experience of opening the heart to beginners in a simple seated qigong form that is easy to learn. A series of slow, gentle movements and guided meditations promote relaxation, allowing the body to balance and heal.

The purpose of the practice is to open and purify the heart.

Nevada State Park staff invite the public to enjoy days full of fun, relaxation and nature at Lahontan. Canoe trips will launch from just below the Lahontan Dam and travel along the Carson River about five miles down to the Irrigation Diversion Dam.

Canoes, paddles and life jackets will be provided by Nevada State Parks, but participants will need to bring sun block and drinking water. Space is limited, so please make reservations by calling 775-867-3500.
