- Mandarin Immersion Program Enrollment Continues
MLCCC has successfully began a partnership of Mandarin immersion program with the Beautiful Beginning, Inc. (BB, Wayne, PA, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Beautiful-Beginnings-163879570309731/) this school year.
Combining top notch staff of BB’s full time, Pennsylvania State certified daycare, PreK, and K programs, with MLCCC’s time tested second language curriculum, the Immersion program is considered to be the first on the Main Line and is acclaimed as the most effective way of acquiring the biliteracy for a child while advancing to the Kindergarten level of curriculum.
Currently we still have a few spots open for this limited class. If anyone is interested, please reply to this email.
- Introducing Upa Yoga and Isha Kriya, Demo Part III, 2PM, 2nd Floor Hallway
Time this Sunday is 2PM, different from prior Sundays.
“Upa Yoga” essentially means “sub-yoga” or “pre-yoga”. This program offers a simple yet powerful set of 10 practices that activate the joints, muscles and energy system, bringing ease to the whole system. Anyone who is 7yrs of age or above can practice Upa Yoga.
Benefits of Upa Yoga: Relieves physical stress and tiredness; Strengthens the joints and muscles; Rejuvenates the body after periods of inactivity; Negates the effects of jetlag and long travel.
“Isha Kriya” Isha” means that which is the source of creation. “Kriya” means an inward action towards that.Isha Kriya is a simple yet potent process created by Sadhguru. Available for free as a guided meditation with an instructional video and downloadable instructions, or through one of the free immersive workshops conducted globally, it has the potential to transform the life of anyone who is willing to invest just 12 minutes a day. Anyone who is 12 years or older can practice Isha Kriya.
Daily practice of Isha Kriya brings health, dynamism, peace and wellbeing. It is a powerful tool to cope with the hectic pace of modern life.
Online download and support will also be available for Isha Kriya and Upa Yoga.
