Ragde Wellness

Definitely one of the biggest changes/challenges in my life over the past decade. Drinking lots of water, eating hydrating foods, and trying to gain understanding as to what this aging (58!) body needs to stay healthy and active (running, yoga, etc.) into my 60's and beyond!

How much water do you need to stay healthy? Know how much water to drink to stay healthy and hydrated.

I love my time on that cushion 💛

Last night’s sound journey w/Reiki was both calming and energizing; it brought me to a place where I felt grounded and an integral part of the universe.

Next community Sound Journey & Reiki at Align Yoga, Rocks, & Reiki is scheduled for April 26th.

Welcome to my fresh new page representing the ever-changing other side of who I am - Ragde. In case you missed it, my first name is Edgar and Ragde is Edgar backwards. I am also a Gemini - the twins - the twins stand for a double character: occasionally conflicting but also adaptive and able to see things from several perspectives. Ragde and Edgar are these zodiac twins. My universe is inhabited by two unique personas and I get to switch between them (mostly) with pleasure 🙂 Don't worry, much like I never wanted to be called Edgar, I'm not expecting anyone to call me Ragde either - I mean I have always wanted a "nickname" so feel free. If it brings you joy, go ahead. 🙂
There's a lot of things that this page will be used for - any yoga practices, workshops, sound journeys that I'm leading or participating in will show up here. As will events that I'm attending (encouraging you now) or have attended (encouraging you for next time.)
I'll admit that I have no idea what's next, but at least I did this and am excited about the other side of my universe. Yoga, Mindfulness, Literature, Meditation, Meditative Art, Vegetarian Eating, Sobriety & Recovery, Running & Exercise, and Social Emotional Learning/Teaching/Living will be the topics I plan on exploring.
If you followed this page previously, I hope you don't run away, but it's okay if you do. Teacher me has evolved back into a student and that may not be your thing. Still, nothing but love for all of you.

Problems securing that email, so I'll just leave it off for now.

I am changing this page so that reflects the health, wellness, mindfulness, yoga, sound healing, recovery side of ME (not the teacher side.)
Get ready :-)

Very excited to be getting my 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training through an organization that includes an SEL*F (Social Emotional Learning Facilitator) certification as well.

VDOE :: Social Emotional Learning (SEL) The Virginia Department of Education, Office of , provides adult literacy services, adult high school equivalency completion, Adult Education and Literacy, Second Language services to Virginia's adults.

Why do students come to school? What is it that teachers do along with passing on the information in their subject area? Why are so many teachers incredibly concerned about their students?

Maslow had a few thoughts on the subject and we teachers studied them in depth.

During this "virtual" and "home-based" learning time, please take a moment to check on your teacher friends as well as the students.

We can distance ourselves physically, but not social-emotionally.
