Tallgrass Training and Wellness

Happy Monday! We hope your summer has been great so far! We wanted to share with you our updated class schedule including TWO new classes! We’re adding Seated Strength with Marta on Tuesdays at 11:00am and Yoga Nidra with Marta on Tuesdays at 7:00pm!

If you haven’t had a chance to try a class before, now is a great time to jump in! Classes are open to anyone in the community and are only $10!! Space is limited, so be sure to sign up on our website (link in bio) or by calling us at (785) 917-8344 to reserve your spot!

Keep reading below for more info about each class! Hope to see you there!

Mondays at 5:00pm and Thursdays at 11:00am: Chair Yoga with Marta!
Join Marta for this peaceful yet strengthening class that’s appropriate for anyone at any level. If typical yoga classes don’t work for you but you would like to work on your balance, core, strength, and flexibility, chair yoga is a great, accessible class that will give you a fantastic workout with modified versions of traditional yoga poses and a relaxing savasana. You can do the entire class from a chair (or even a wheelchair!) or use the chair for balance if you’d like to try out some standing poses. Chair space is limited, so signing up in advance is a must!

Tuesdays at 11:00am with Marta: Seated Strength!
We’ve gotten so much great feedback about our chair yoga classes, so we decided to add an accessible, low-impact seated strength class to supplement the great flexibility and balance work you’re doing in chair yoga! Seated Strength combines resistance bands and other light equipment with low repetitions to help strengthen your muscles, improve balance and coordination, and gain confidence and functionality for daily tasks. Seated Strength is a great place to try strength training for the first time or to get back into it after a setback. We can work around injuries or limitations to help you customize the workout to suit your needs best. We can only accommodate a few people in this class, so definitely sign up to reserve your spot! (Classes continued in comments..)

Wednesday is the last day to donate to the Humane Society through our donation drive!

You know we’re big time animal lovers at Tallgrass, so we are very excited to be partnering with the Lawrence Humane Society with a donation drive! They’re specifically in need of dog and cat food, soft dog treats like Pupperoni, paper towels, peanut butter, and Kong toys or Benebones. You an also make a monetary donation at lawrencehumane.org! We’ll be collecting items thru July 15th, so be on the lookout for the blue barrel just inside our front door. Thank you for helping us help the animals!🐾

Life can be complicated and stressful and at Tallgrass, we value mental, emotional, and spiritual health just as much as physical health. We are so excited to be bringing guided meditation back into our repertoire and our beloved Marta Schwartz will soon be offering a weekly yoga nidra session to help you relax your body and mind. Yoga nidra is an ancient guided meditative technique that can be practiced while either lying down or seated. Yoga nidra offers you an opportunity to experience deep and effortless relaxation to help improve your physical, mental and emotional well being. Join us for a FREE yoga nidra session on Saturday, July 18th at 1:00 and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, collective experience! All are welcome to attend, but space is limited, so be sure to sign up on our website (Tallgrasstrainingandwellness.com) or by calling/texting (785) 917-8344. We have mats and props to share, but you’re welcome to bring your own mat, blanket, or anything that will help you get comfortable. See you there!

We are so fortunate to be growing our team even more, and we’re so excited for you to meet Jeremiah, who is bringing his massage and craniosacral therapy skills to Tallgrass! For those of you who have been requesting deep tissue massage, you’ll be happy to hear that Jeremiah is the guy you’ve been looking for! Keep reading to learn more about Jeremiah!

🌾 A Midwestern man, Jeremiah grew up in Kansas and Illinois and now lives in the country just outside Lawrence.

🌾 A longtime lover of practicing yoga and receiving bodywork himself, Jeremiah was inspired by his friend Mira, an Ayurvedic practitioner, who suggested massage therapy as a potential outlet for him to find meaningful ways to connect with others and give back to his community. Jeremiah loves to learn new techniques and has been blessed with several wonderful mentors who have helped him grow his skills and hone his craft.

🌾 Jeremiah loves the outdoors and spends his free time foraging for wild foods like mushrooms and greens, going for walks in nature, or just sitting and enjoying the scenery. He also enjoys practicing yoga, dancing, and meditation.

🌾 Jeremiah has a deep desire to share his talents with our community, helping them find ease and contentment in their minds and bodies. He has gratefully received inspiration and learned many skills from his teachers over the years and is really excited to share these gifts with us at Tallgrass.

Jeremiah is already getting amazing feedback from his clients! One described him as being very kind and said the massage was amazing! She said she’ll definitely make another appointment with him and that she felt comfortable with him right away! Enjoy 10% off with Jeremiah now thru the end of July! Book your appointment at Tallgrasstrainingandwellness.com or call (785)917-8344!

We are thrilled to welcome massage therapist and reiki practitioner Josie Hickey to the Tallgrass team!

🌾Josie grew up in Great Bend, KS where she spent most of her adult life. She and her partner recently relocated to Lawrence & between the two of them, they have 4 children- 3 teens and an adult.

🌾Josie’s deep compassion for others & a desire to help them connect with their own energy inspired her to pursue bodywork as a profession. She prides herself on providing a safe, nurturing space where individuals can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel supported physically, emotionally, and energetically. One of her recent clients described his experience with her as “gentle, yet so effective!”

🌾 In her free time, Josie loves crafting (especially making beaded earrings), practicing yoga, spending time in nature by taking hikes or bike rides with her family, or simply enjoying the sounds of the birds and the scenery around her.

🌾Josie is already getting incredible feedback from everyone who’s had a massage with her and everyone she’s seen has already booked another appointment! Schedule an appointment with her and enjoy 10% off through the end of July by heading to Tallgrasstrainingandwellness.com or by calling us at (785) 917-8344!
