East-West Holistic Healing Arts and Corporate Kneads are divisions of K.I.R.A. Holistic Institute, LLC. K.I.R.A. stands for Kindenss, Intuition, Relaxation and Awareness. The acronym is inspired by Kira, Maria's cocker-poo mix.
Animals provide us with daily lessons of how to live as more balanced and harmonious beings. Kira embodies many of the K.I.R.A. values. If you have a four-legged friend, you know what we mean....
Keep a healthy curiosity, be present, and experience the wonder of every moment.
Take time to play with zest, but honor your body when it tells you to take time to rest and repair.
Always be authentic and sure of who you are.
And sing a happy song whenever you can!
Watch Kira as she does her own Myofascial Unwinding with the help of her tennis ball.
Learning how to self-unwind on a small therapy ball is part of home care for our Myofascial Release clients. As Maria would self-unwind at the end of her day for her own self-care, it turned out Kira was watching closely. Kira eventually picked up her tennis ball, threw it on the floor, and began to unwind. She now does this on a daily basis without anyone prodding her. Animals innately know what is good for them!
Note the Still Points where Kira's body stops and integrates the experience. And watch for the wild tail wagging during those Still Points, and then the happy little dog who looks at the camera at the end of the clip. Kira will tell you just how good Myofascial Unwinding feels!
