From Date: Friday, May 14, 2010 To Date: Monday, September 20, 2010 Title: For Women Only Summary: For Women Only Sierra Bender Wholistic Fitness Health & Healing kicks off Details: One only needs to turn on the television, pick up a magazine or just look at a billboard to see how strong a focus we put on the physical body. “We cheat ourselves. Our true being is beyond just the physical body. It is a journey of self-realization, a combination of motion and stillness to create balance in our being. It is a unique synergy of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies that give people of all ages and fitness levels the tools to tone their body, awaken their mind, release pent up emotions, and strengthen their spiritual connection,” said Sierra Bender, founder and owner of Sierra Bender Wholistic Fitness Health & Healing. Based on over 25 years of wellness training and hard-won life experience, Sierra Bender gives students the tools they need to change their lives for the better. Drawing on her professional background in fitness training, years of studying with indigenous healers, and long-term yoga practice, Sierra Bender has created a self-care system that is part physical workout, part yoga practice, part therapy session, and part spiritual reflection. Best of all, it doesn’t require a lot of time, expensive classes, or fancy equipment. “I teach women to discover all four planes of existence–spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. When we learn how to keep all four planes of our existence fit, we become healthier, happier and better able to lead our families, friends, and communities to do the same,” says Sierra.
