Put your own oxygen mask on first, just like the flight attendants always say. You’ll have more energy and resources to do the things you want and have to do if you put self-care first – and I can show you exactly how to do that in just 30 minutes.
Lying down for a few minutes in Constructive Rest helps you to improve your posture without strain, release excess tension and calm your nervous system so you can be your most efficient, energetic and productive self. You feel better and are more fun to be around!
No experience necessary!

Wednesday Wellness
with Amy Ward Brimmer
Wednesdays, 12:00 – 12:30 pm
Zoom
Meet up online for health and wellness tips, mindful practices, and fun explorations to boost your awareness and revive your overall well-being.
Each 30-minute session will focus on a specific theme, which might include evidence-based information, simple repeatable movements, new ways of thinking — anything that supports a better understanding of your whole self.
Whether we’re talking, listening, meditating, or moving gently, you’ll get a chance to explore topics like:
- balance
- breathing
- sitting, standing, and walking well
- “positive” states like gratitude and compassion
- working with difficult emotions
- mindful eating
- savoring life through your senses
- …and much more – bring your own concerns and interests!
It’s a nice midweek break that will give you tools you’ll return to over and over again as you make your way through life.
This is a group learning experience. Show up and learn from everyone else (I’m not the only knowledgeable person in the Zoom room). Bring your own expertise and help others in the WOW community.

The Secret to Electrifying Music & Art
Discover Your Creative Soulforce with Alexander Technique
Weekly Classes in the Soulforce Arts Community with Joseph Arnold
There’s something missing… You’re creating. You’re giving it your best. You do all the right techniques… but something’s off. Why isn’t it connecting? Where’s the flow, the thrill, the electrifying energy that could have your audiences on the edge of their seats? What’s the missing piece?
It’s “Soulforce” the indefinable aura of authenticity, aliveness, and connection that every artist longs to express, and that every audience wants to experience.
But can Soulforce be learned, or is tapping into it just a matter of luck?
Yes! You can learn to reliably tap into your Soulforce. Here’s the secret: your Soulforce already lies in wait within you, ready to burst forth – if you simply get out of the way of it.
In this weekly online masterclass, you will discover your own Soulforce and learn to channel it, even in the most challenging circumstances, such as performances, auditions, and under deadlines.
As a part of learning to channel your Soulforce, you will also:
- Discover your deepest artistic purpose,
- Revitalize your creativity with the transformative power of Soulforce,
- Enjoy more fun, ease, and pleasure while taking your artistic skills to the next level,
- Embody powerful methods for relieving physical and emotional challenges,
- Make a more fulfilling and profitable living in the arts (for those arts pros among you)
- Make art that matters to you and your community
These classes are based on the Alexander Technique, a method of releasing unnecessary physical tension to improve how you create, feel, and function.
Access these classes by joining the Soulforce Arts Community, an online forum and learning platform that brings together conscious artists of all kinds and abilities. Our goal? Help you discover a deeper artistic purpose, create free from blockages, and make a better world.
