We are so excited to add a beloved, talented, and long time mountain family member, Shiela Craft, as a member of our team!! ❤️ “Hey there, I'm Sheila Craft, an Occupational Therapist of 43 yrs & Certified Hand Therapist for 23 yrs. I love helping people achieve their rehab goals and experience life with more arm strength, less pain, better joint mobility and muscle flexibility with hands-on therapy and or custom splinting. Among other areas of expertise, I have had great success with helping stroke patients through all stages of rehab. My services include home assessments, recommendations for safety equipment, adaptive devices and various techniques that allow for 1-hand independence. I am excited to provide the mountain community with the additional following services:

Assisted Stretching- A general mobility assessment will be performed to assess specific joint tightness/mobility limitations and stretching techniques will be implemented in order to help re-gain some long-lost movement. You will love the feel of assisted stretching and will most likely find that it is as helpful and pleasant as getting a massage. No other expensive “stretch lab” provider has the extensive knowledge and experience that I can provide. Don't leave the mountain for this service, let me stretch you!

Cellulite scrubbing- This is not a topical "scrub" but is a physical scrub by manual pressure, using bumpy tools and pushing into your personal areas of cellulite concern. This is a physical manipulation of fascia and fat cells to loosen tight tissue and smooth dimpled appearance. It can be helpful over time, taking several months of regular sessions to improve the appearance of dimpling and to smooth those problem areas, but I can help reach the awkward locations and let you relax while that scrubbing is performed. This can also help with old injury adhesion or post trauma scar release.”

We are sooo excited to add Cara Fraser to Team Altitude! Come try out her class! She will be teaching Wednesday mornings 9:30-10:30 starting February!

Cara fell in love with yoga from the first time she took a yoga class. Since she grew up as a gymnast and dancer, the movement of yoga felt very familiar and comforting. But she soon realized that yoga had many additional benefits, such as helping to relieve every day stress and ease anxiety. She worked in high stress accounting jobs for almost 20 years and dreamed of teaching yoga but never really thought it was possible. Then in 2015, she took her 200-hour yoga teacher training at YogaWorks, which focused on anatomy and alignment. She ultimately took other trainings that let her down the path to complete a 500-hour
certification, becoming a Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist in March 2021.

Cara’s classes are dedicated to connecting mindful breath to movement, in order to support strength and mobility. She gives various options for challenging poses, so that students can select what pose meets their needs that day. In addition, she encourages people to tune into their own intuition during class, in order to move with awareness and compassion, both on and off the mat.

Meet Steven Gero! Steven studied Qi Gong at Redwood University Chinese Medicine school in Los Angeles and has practiced many modes of energy movement. He has been a daily meditator for the past 20 years, and is excited to share his knowledge with the mountain community.

Qigong with Steven is an hour class for everyone, on Mondays at 9:30am! Studies have shown that this daily practice helps to reduce stress and tension, increases immunity, raises your energy level, lowers blood pressure, invigorates the cardiovascular system, balances blood sugar levels and improves metabolism, along with many other benefits. It improves digestion regulates the nervous system, enhances the respiratory system, and improves motor functions.

Qi Gong (The Eight Treasures) is a unique Qi Gong style that was formally organized around 2,000 years ago and was transmitted by the Ni Family through an unbroken succession of 74 generations of Taoist masters. The form is comprised of 32 movements arranged in 8 sections. The Eight Treasures Qi Gong form draws from the natural movements of planets and starts, reflecting the simplicity and strength of Mother Nature. By ensuring a smooth flow of Qi (Chi) in our bodies, we can harmonize with the larger rhythms of the Universe, promoting health. The Eight Treasures not only Promote an increase in energy, flexibility and balance, they can also improve the quality of life and felling of well-being by integrating the body, mind and spirit.
