Health & Wellness in NYC

If you love to luxuriate in your self-care rituals and prefer natural skincare ingredients, this class in NYC will help you create your own customized beauty products. Join us for a fun evening and learn how to formulate your own anti-aging serums, cleansers, and moisturizers for the face! Marla with Back Porch Soap Company will teach you all about actives, antioxidants, emulsifiers, and so much more. We will make four fabulous products from scratch and you will take home extra recipes to try on your own. These water-based and oil-based products are intended for all skin types and we will discuss how to tweak the formula for extra dry and oily skin types, as well as other concerns. This is a fun class for anyone who's curious about DIY skincare and it's a great way for groups of friends to get together and bond over a hands-on activity in the city. By the end of class, you will gain knowledge and understanding of how to formulate a variety of skincare and take home full-sized products you make in class.

Looking for ways to decompress and keep stress at bay? Wear your comfy clothes, keep an open mind, and listen to the relaxing sounds of this unique meditative experience. We will start with a deep breathing exercise to relax your body and mind. After that, the experience will offer a deep meditation through sound that unlocks unique states of relaxation and meditation. By addressing the energetic stressors inherent in NYC living, our nervous and adrenal systems are given an opportunity to recuperate. Gong meditations, a type of sound therapy, have been around for thousands of years as a way of healing. Multiple tones and overtones build as it is played, creating layers of sounds that can be directly felt by those experiencing it. The gong is said to cut through the ego, leaving a person to be their authentic self. It can help us to come into our neutral, meditative mind. The benefits one can get from being exposed to the tones of the gongs are numerous, yet vary considerably. Most of my clients have been noticing a major improvement in the quality of their sleep, a better ability to cope with stress, and a sense of familiarity with stillness and contentment. Travel Surcharge: - $324 due to transport of heavy equipment that is necessary.
