The Aufguss is one of those rituals that give you the most relaxing experience. A “sauna master” of the opgietmeester accompanies you into the sauna and pours a special mixture of water and essential oils on the hot stones, producing a cloud of steam, while the essential oils perfume the air. At the same time the “sauna master” makes circular movements with a towel to circulate the air and to remove the insulating layer of air that surrounds your body. The temperature around your body is rising and despite the sensation of heat you might end up with goose bumps on your skin. In the middle of the session, we will serve you frozen citrus fruits to cool you off. You will leave the Aufguss session in a state of relaxation that you have never experienced before. And if you have never tried an Aufguss, this is the perfect opportunity to do so!
Experience two programs in one hour! The session will start with a run at your own pace, supervised by a qualified coach who will give you advice on running.

To return to Strom Spa you can either run or walk. The workouts are for all fitness levels. Sportswear and a water bottle are required.
It is a hot steam bath which differs from the Scandinavian dry heat sauna. The steam is obtained by spraying hot water on a brick stove. The temperature can be anywhere between 65 ° C to 120 ° C, it is not advisable to stay in the banya more than 5 minutes at a time. Also it is recommended to put a beanie, preferably made of felt, to protect the head from the intense heat. According to tradition people hit themselves vigorously with bunches of dried branches and leaves from birch, oak or eucalyptus. These branches form a "broom" called venik and they are moistened with water before they are used. The purpose is to cleanse and soften the skin, to activate the sweating and the blood circulation all while releasing a pleasant fragrance. Once this "massage" is finished, it is customary to dip in a cold water pool, a lake, a river or to roll in the snow in winter time. Usually this ritual is repeated two to three times before enjoying some tea and sweet treats in the relaxation room. In general, the Russians stay at a banya for at least two hours (alternating with cold shower breaks of course) to take advantage of the effects of the hot steam.

The objective of Tai Chi is to improve our vital energy (chi) and thus "to open our consciousness to a higher dimension."

• On the emotional side, practicing Tai Chi reduces the stress of everyday life, increases the ability to relax and to have better self-control.

Conference in French only: Sois bien et sois toi!
Cette conférence vise à démontrer combien le perfectionnisme est intimement lié à la façon dont nous réagissons face à nos croyances limitantes et à nos peurs, car bien souvent nous leur donnons trop de pouvoir sur notre quotidien.
Souvent ces croyances et ces peurs nous freinent et sont la source de plusieurs insatisfactions personnelles et relationnelles. Elles nuisent également à notre épanouissement personnel et à l’atteinte de notre propre bonheur.
L’objectif de la conférence est de transmettre deux conditions essentielles et la toute première clé nécessaire à la transformation de soi afin de diminuer ou d’éradiquer la pression que nous mettons sur nos épaules en cherchant à atteindre la perfection.

Living in full awareness to free yourself from stress is possible! By Zanie Roy
How many times a day are you really present and aware of what you are doing? When you brush your teeth? While eating your lunch? Saying goodbye to your child?
Our mind is rarely in the present moment, it is often busy projecting itself into the future or returning to the past. And when we revise, project, wander, and assume ... worries appear, fears arise, catastrophic scenarios are being created and we become stressed out.
To live in full awareness means to be here, in the now, moment after moment. By paying attention to the present moment, we are developing a certain form of wisdom and control, based on our ability to relax, to be conscious and to develop a deep vision of what is real.
Through a series of exercises, guided meditations and simple instructions, you will discover easy and effective tools to exercise mindfulness in your life and therefore live a more satisfying life centered on wellbeing, opening of the heart and the calmness of the mind.
Zanie Roy is a certified yoga teacher, a meditation guide and a qualified MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) teacher at the Center for Mindfulness, UMASS Medical School. Passionate about life, Zanie leads her sessions with rigor, humor and lightness and allows everyone to find the path that leads to peace and wellbeing with gentleness. An expert in full consciousness meditation, which she practices every morning, she especially loves to start her day by meditating, "it fertilizes the mind and body for a pleasant day ahead", as she likes to say to her students.
Zanie also guides yoga and meditation retreats in Quebec and abroad. In 2011, she founded espace prana, a yoga and meditation center where students meet to relax and reconnect with themselves. Zanie also offers private meditation sessions to manage pain, anxiety and stress.

Conference in French only animated by Marie-Eve St-Arnaud : S’estimer, foncer et se réaliser. L’importance de l’estime de soi pour l’Amour de soi.
L’estime de soi, cette notion parfois méconnue, confondue et sous-estimée. Quelle importance lui accorder? Quels sont ses impacts sur notre bien-être, nos relations, notre cheminement personnel et professionnel?
L’estime de soi représente la base de l’amour propre de l’individu. Elle signifie la valeur qu’une personne s’accorde, c’est un portrait de soi fait par soi-même, c’est le jugement de sa valeur personnel. Lors de cette conférence, nous répondrons à ces questions existentielles et des exemples concrets vous seront partagés, en plus de quelques trucs à mettre en pratique au quotidien pour vous aider à vous choisir, vous aimer, vous offrir ce cadeau pour la vie.

Prendre soin de soi est un pilier fondamental et essentiel au bien-être et à la santé globale. Lorsque notre rythme de vie effréné nous pousse à ignorer ce pilier trop longtemps, on prend le risque de devenir, à un certain moment, épuisé, peut-être déprimé, et même physiquement malade.
C’est quelque chose que l’on sait, mais dans notre quotidien…
- On se sent souvent coupable, égoïste de prendre soin de soi
- On ne sait pas exactement comment prendre soin de soi
- Et surtout, on ne sait pas comment trouver le temps pour prendre soin de soi
Si ces défis vous interpellent, pourquoi ne pas décider aujourd’hui de prendre le temps d’assister à l’atelier-conférence « Prendre soin de soi » pour ainsi développer une toute nouvelle perception, à l’aide entre autres d’une boîte à outils « au goût du jour » pour mettre le tout en pratique. C’est le premier pas à faire pour commencer à bien prendre soin de vous.

Jérémie Falissard (August 20)
Chef Jérémie Falissard, only 34 years old and originally from the Côte d’Azur, is in charge of the restaurants Foiegwa, Bocata, Barroco and the Atwater Cocktail Club. Early on he got a taste for all the different blends of culinary traditions. After culinary studies, he worked in Spain, Italy and France, three cuisines that today inspire the menu of his restaurants. He came to Montreal in 2005 with the goal to open his own restaurant, but instead held a few positions as a restaurant manager. He opened his first restaurant in 2008 and that was the beginning of a great and still growing venture.
Fisun Ercan (September 17)
A native of Turkey, Fiscun Ercan arrived in Montreal in 1998. This economics and finance graduate has decided to devote herself to her true passion: cooking. After graduating from Lasalle College with a kitchen manager degree, she first started out by offering her services as a caterer and then opened her restaurant Su in Verdun. She introduces her guests to the kitchen of her native country. In June 2013 she opened BarBounya, a Mediterranean style meze bar on Laurier Street West. She is also the author of the book “Su: the Turkish cuisine of Fisun Erkan” published in 2011.
Ashley Thornton (October 22)
Born in Ontario, Ashley Thornton grew up in Montreal. She chose to specialize in Italian cuisine, because she finds it a style of cuisine that brings people together at the table, and is above all, delicious. After studying at the Quebec Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, she went to work in Italy where she was also able to improve her knowledge. She was discovered by the public when she participated on the reality show Les chefs.
Her first job was working for the SAQ and it was enough to give her a little taste of the trade! That’s how Stéphanie Dupuy’s passion for wine was born. Her interest and curiosity led her to follow the sommelier training program at the ITHQ, and then to obtain the diploma of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Level 3. An internship in a vineyard situated in Ladoix-Serrigny in France allowed her to meet passionate people with whom she shared the everyday life of a winemaker. Working the land gave her a second wind for her love of the product. Since then, she has had the chance to visit and work alongside great winemakers from all over the world thanks to her work at Le Marchand De Vin. Today, she gives training courses as a private sommelier and does what she loves: speaking with authenticity about wine, simplifying it and making it accessible to everyone.
Conference in French only by Florence Dalmau, synergologue : Votre corps me parle
Le corps est économe et chaque mouvement a sa raison d’être ! La synergologie est l’analyse du langage non verbal, dans le but de valider l’état d’esprit de l’autre, en vue d’avoir une communication plus authentique. Vous apprendrez à discerner les groupes émotionnels en fonction de la posture de votre interlocuteur et découvrirez que de nombreux gestes précèdent la pensée et la parole.
Florence Dalmau est une passionnée de voyages, qui se délecte des découvertes humaines et géographiques du monde. Chargée de projets et thérapeute émotionnelle, Florence a toujours valorisé les relations humaines et souhaité faciliter la communication interpersonnelle. Curieuse de comprendre ce que nos gestes expriment, elle a plongé avec passion dans le monde de la synergologie (le langage non verbal). Elle est maintenant mentore pour les finissants à l’Institut européen de synergologie, et donne des conférences ainsi que des formations.
