Happy Monday everybody!

Although things have been a little quiet over here on the blog, we’ve been as busy as usual behind the scenes.  I’m really excited to get back into a regular routine on the blog and start hearing from all of you much more often.  In that spirit I thought I’d start this week catching you up on what we’ve been doing with some fun and interesting updates…

5 questions to help you get unstuck…

I’m excited to share my (Esther) first article for MindBodyGreen.com with you.  If you’re looking for a site with a positive and holistic approach towards wellness, then this is a great place to start.  With articles ranging from recipes to tips for finding great doctors, to improving (or starting) your yoga practice, MindBodyGreen.com has a wealth of information.  Wondering where to start?  How about my brand new article on how to go from feeling stagnant to moving full speed ahead in 5 easy steps!  Check it out and then leave your comments, I’d love to hear what you think.

 

Q & A with GTA…

2 weeks ago we had  our first session of Q & A with GTA via spreecast.  In spite of a few technical glitches along the way, it was so much fun!  Llouana and I had a fantastic time chatting with everyone about everything from dealing with teenagers at home to managing anxiety, and making time to play!  We hope that more of you will join us at the next session on Wednesday, August 28 at 9pmEST.  This is an invitation only event so be sure to subscribe to our list if you haven’t already.  And if you want to check out last months discussion just visit our channel on Spreecast.

 

Meditating with Oprah & Deepak…

On a personal note I wanted to let you all know that I am doing the 21-day Mediation Challenge sponsored by Oprah & Deepak Chopra and it’s fantastic!  I’ve felt everything from alert and exhilarated to downright tearful through the first week of guided meditations but it’s all been a positive growing experience.  The theme is Miraculous Relationships and you know that at GTA we are all about building healthy relationships.  If you are interested in trying meditation or are looking for a way to gain a new perspective on your relationships, sign up now.  If you are already doing the challenge let me know how it’s going in the comments below.

Fall Classes at GTA…

For all of our locally based clients, be sure to check out our new class schedules.  We have new dates scheduled for our parenting, teens, and couples classes from now all the way until January 2014!  We are excited to shake things up in our Teen Talk class by now offering specific themes each month.  Take one class or take them all… we promise to help your adolescent develop the communication and self-care skills needed to succeed this year.

And if you live outside of the DC metro area, be sure to let us know which classes you are interested in.  Many of our most popular in-person classes will be launching as online programs in the coming months.  Stay tuned and don’t forget to join our list so you can be the first to know about new programs and get our best pricing!

 

Now that we got you up to date on a few things happening here at GTA, tell us what’s happening in your corner of the world?
