Trainings
I offer trainings and workshops that integrate Body Mind Wellness. As a Consultant I am hired by organizations, schools, mental health organizations, etc. to create and implement a unique curriculum to meet their needs. My trainings are always somatically based – using the intelligence of the body and deepening participants connections to their bodies. I build upon this awareness to teach skills in self-care, emotional regulation, healing from trauma, and becoming more powerful. If you are interested in hiring me to do a training for your agency, please contact me. If you are interested in attending a workshop offered by me, check out my events page.
Moving Inside Out
In the 10 years that I have been teaching Nia I have always been intrigued and humbled by the opening that occurs through movement. I think that moving our bodies creates a portal to our inner world that is ripe for exploring. An hour of Nia followed by an hour of dialogue, journaling, and exchanging, creates a space for creating personal transformation, growth, and change. The Moving Inside Out series is offered several times a year at MOI Studio at 3500 NE MLK Jr. Blvd. Suite 200, Portland, OR. To register, please contact erikaruber@gmail.com.
Mindful Parent & Caregiver Program
The course is built on a belief that the body and the mind are a unified whole. When we are aware of sensations in our bodies and the habits of our minds, we can take better care of ourselves and, by extension, the people we care for.
The program builds on Yoga and Nia movements as the foundation of full body-mind healing. Both disciplines are effective foundations for promoting well-being, mindfulness and empowerment, because they develop strengths in a unified, coherent way.
- Classes are multi-sensory, and grounded in repeatable, accessible practices that can be used anywhere, by any participant, in spare moments during the day.
- The workshop builds on the approach that mindful communication is less prone to conflict, and more able to meet the needs of caregiver and client alike.
- The four-week core series focuses on building skills for building self awareness, increasing emotional regulation, understanding needs of self and others, and connecting to others in a more mindful way.
