I've got several new ideas of things I would like to start offering, one bodywork related and the other two musical.  It would be great to get some feedback if anything here strikes your interest.  Also, please feel free to pass this along to any people/groups who might be interested.  
 
1) Integrated Intuition:  Yes, I just made that up, but it seems like as good a name as any.  These will be private sessions that use basic yoga and stretching positions to develop your own body awareness.  It will basically be the polar opposite of power yoga, the idea not being to push yourself to the max, but to understand your full body within a basic stretch.  It will focus on matching visualization techniques with stretching, and developing your own intuitive sense and so that you can become your own best teacher.  This will be great for people who a) think yoga is too hard, or are nervous about injuries, b) have trouble getting motivated to stretch or excercise, c) enjoy yoga but feel like they are in a rut, or d) just have aches and pains and stiffness they don't know what to do about.  If you like the ideas behind my articles such as the Type B Running Guide ( thekosherhostess.com/articles/health_fitness/the_type_b_personality_s_guide_to_running ), then this would be a good way explore them further.  You may be surprised how much good you can do yourself with just a little bit of relaxed, focussed effort.
 
2) Classical Music Appreciation:  This is for folks who feel like they don't get classical music, but would like to.  Or who get it, but would like to get it more.  It would be a class of 5-7 people, and we would pick a piece and basically just get inside the soul of it: understand the basic struture, learn the themes, get the rhythm pumping in our blood, and get a sense of what the performers are feeling.  I'm happy to do symphonic music, chamber music, or opera- preferably something leading up to a performance somewhere in town that we can attend.  (For those who don't know my musical background, I have a Master's degree in vocal performance from Rice University, and am currently pursuing a music ed degree at Hunter College.)   
 
3) Voice lessons: I'm starting to offer voice lessons again.  If you know any high-school kids who are interested, I'd be happy to talk to them.  If you would like to improve your karaoke or choir singing skills, I'd be happy to talk to you.  If you are a pro who is frustrated by some nagging issues, you may want to talk to me.  I've had the experience of basically wrecking my voice, and then learning how to get it back- a terrible thing for a singer, but the best possible thing for a teacher.  It's given me a unique perspective.  Singing is the primary path through which I have developed the basic philosophy of intution and awareness that I carry into all of my other work.
 
So let me know if any of that interests you, or if you would like to discuss anything further.
 
Hope you are having a good New Year.
