WHAT IS UZIT?

UZIT’s self-care workshops and community-care programs promote a sense of centering, calm and joy by integrating four supportive modalities: Yoga, Reiki, Essential Oils and Presence
UZIT’s self-care workshops were designed by Colleen Saidman Yee, Rodney Yee, Marcia Miller, Tracy Griffiths and Mary Taylor

WHOM IS UZIT FOR? Are there any enrollment requirements?

UZIT is for everyone and every day
UZIT’s self-care practices and community-care programs are intended to restore, reconnect and rebalance at home, work or in any other setting
No enrollment requirements. No experience is necessary. UZIT is for anyone
UZIT is also for people who are exhausted, anxious, in pain or not feeling as vital and creative as one would like to be
Module 1 and 2 can be completed non-sequentially. i.e., you can complete Module 2 before Module 1

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS from the workshops and mentor sessions? WHAT WILL I LEARN?

You will join a community that offers guidance, support and encouragement
Along with others, you will learn more about:
- the confluence of Yoga, Reiki, Essential Oils and Presence to create your own embodied, daily self-care practice
- our solution-oriented approach to RELIEF: Rest, Ease, Levity, Integrate, Energize, Focus
The mentor sessions are more in-depth and broken into smaller groups for more interactive and personalized attention

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

Currently, the workshops and mentor sessions are online-only, but depending on geographic locations, we hope to offer the same workshops in-person or hybrid later in 2024

WHO ARE THE TEACHERS and MENTORS?

teachers: Gina Cunningham, Sarah Halweil, Marcia Miller, Tracy Griffiths
mentor: Cathy Chen
