Movement is critical to keep our energy or “chi” flowing throughout our bodies to help connect and harmonize our body, mind and spirit. At VitalSelf, we offer yoga, trance dance and Zumba coming soon in 2012. I addition, we offer Reiki and Quantum Touch sessions. We offer individual and group sessions and classes – please contact us for details.
Yoga Sessions (Individual or Group)
Our belief at VitalSelf is that yoga is a very personal practice and unique to each person. Our basic Yoga classes are based on Hatha Vinyasa Flow. In addition, we offer classes that integrate other techniques including Thai Chi, energy work and trance dance creating a very deep and powerful yoga experience.
Our one-on-one yoga work is for those who are interested in additional focus and attention to deepen and raise their level of practice and increase their overall sense of well-being. We also offer “Yoga Night Out” parties for those inspired to something a bit different with friends.
Contact us to schedule a yoga session.
Energy Work
Our energy work is a combination of Usui Shinpinden Reiki, Quantum Touch® and the Oneness Energy Experience. The sessions are typically 50 minutes, but can be extended and customized for your needs. Treat yourself to energy work where you can forget about your worries, the stress of the day and focus on what really matters …YOU!
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by hovering above the body or “laying on hands/light touch” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

“About five years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia – a neurological, chronic illness that causes extreme pain and fatigue. The doctors who finally diagnosed me and have been treating me guess that I have had the illness for close to twenty-five years and have just found ways to work around the symptoms. But no matter what I tried, from medication to chiropractic to exercise to diet, nothing has alleviated my symptoms quite the way that the energy work I have done with Amy has. In just a matter of one or two sessions I was feeling more like my old self rather than the extremely tired mom who lived in constant pain that I had become.” Lisa-Anne Moore – VA
The Quantum-Touch® technique teach us how to focus and amplify life-force energy (known as “chi” in Chinese and “prana” in Sanskrit) by combining various breathing and body awareness techniques. It is administered by hovering above the body or “laying on hands/light touch.”
Oneness Deeksha – The Oneness Deeksha is a transfer of physical energy that brings a sense of calmness, clarity and the feeling of Oneness with everyone and everything. It is administered by gently placing both hands on the recipients head.
Trance Dance Movement Meditation
A distant cousin to Shiva Rea’s Trance Dance and to Gabrielle Roth’s 5-Rhythms dance – our class will introduce you to a form of traditional tribal trance dance method (brought to the US by Professor Trance, Frank Natale) practiced for thousands of years in tribes all over the world.
Trance Dance is a healing dance featuring a unique blend of healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques combined with the innovative use of a blindfold or bandana – together stimulating a trance state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional wellbeing. It allows you to truly “see” and experience the world by exploring with all of your senses – It’s a deeply raw, moving, cleansing, experience that is highly addictive. ;-)
Amy Arnold is a certified Trance Dance facilitator and received her trance dance and tantric-shamanic training under Urban Shaman, Ernesto Ortiz with authentic teachings of Frank Natale at Villa Sumaya in Guatemala.
Group Trance Dance is available throughout the year. In addition, you may book one-on-one trance dancing. One-on-one work is excellent for those looking to deeply connect with one’s higher self. Also, Trance Dance is excellent for helping to focus on and energize specific chakra regions.

“Wow!!! The experience of the trance dance was like that of a vision quest and an intense healing experience.” EK – Costa Rica
