Have You Heard? SBC Co-Founder Richelle Ricard Has Done It Again!Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Author: Richelle Ricard For Appointments with Richelle, Please Call: 206.931.2949 |
Yep, I just can’t help it. Contentment has remained slightly out of reach and I realized it was because I was not teaching Yoga. I have been wrapped up in the massage world, and teaching anatomy all over the Northwest, but yoga classes have been nil for a year-and-a-half. So, I went looking.
I wanted to teach, but I really needed to find a studio with whom I felt totally aligned….philosophically and otherwise. This turned out to be more difficult to find than I thought it would be. That’s not to say that there aren’t a ton of wonderful yoga studios… Read more »»

Community….Creating NetworksWednesday, May 5th, 2010Author: Richelle Ricard For Appointments with Richelle, Please Call: 206.931.2949 |
In the past few months, I have become acutely aware of the importance of strong business and social networks. I have been working to launch my own website, a new business or two, and connect with new communities to offer my services…and all of it has depended heavily on knowing all the “right” people.
I don’t mean that I have high-up-mucky-mucks to pull strings for me. I mean that in the ten years I have worked independently, I have created a long, long list of contacts and connections that help me get the word out about what I’m up to. I… Read more »»

Body of Knowledge: Functional Anatomy for Yoga Instructors January 10th & 17thTuesday, November 10th, 2009Author: Richelle Ricard For Appointments with Richelle, Please Call: 206.931.2949 |
Yoga teachers today face an increasingly competitive market for their skills and services. While I am a true believer in the fact that there are plenty of students out there for us all, we each need to work diligently to increase our knowledge base and continue to study this art of teaching yoga.
One way to do that is by studying the Human Body. Regardless of your yoga style or technique, the human body remains a constant across all Asana traditions. This class is your window into the workings of this miraculous container we travel in.
We will review and discuss:

I want to extend a whole-hearted thank you to all of the participants in last weekend’s (October 31st/November 1st) Functional Anatomy for Yoga Instructors workshop. I knew that Anatomy and Physiology were sorely lacking from the training of many Yoga teachers, but it was so rewarding to see how eager you all were to soak up everything you could!!
I myself learned so much from the class. Though I have taught it many times over, this was my first adventure with current teachers. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your suggestions and feedback. I hope that… Read more »»

The Secret to SuccessMonday, March 16th, 2009Author: Mihal Ehven For Appointments with Mihal, Please Call: 206.524.4444 |
Now that almost a year has passed after the formation of the Seattle Bodywork Co-op, I find myself more satisfied than I had anticipated with this endeavour. I knew that when Richelle Ricard, LMP, RYT and I committed to building a new family of professional bodyworkers, that it would be exciting to continue my practice in the company of others in my own and related fields. I had hoped that the atmosphere would be one of sharing of professional knowledge, and excitement in our individual missions as health care providers. But what has developed has surpassed my expectations.
I think our success… Read more »»
