UZIT Los Angeles / Accelerated Program Training

08/24/2025

Do you feel anxious or lonely?
You’re not broken… you simply need RELIEF.

RELIEF is a practice.
It’s mindful movements…
Restorative poses…
The scent of essential oils…
The warmth of your own hands through self-Reiki…
And breathing in a way that makes your whole body sigh.

Learn about RELIEF as a practice in UZIT Modules 1 and 2 with our experienced teachers, Lori Bower and Valerie Jew, who will guide you step-by-step — live and at your own pace — to bring calm and connection back into your life.

You don’t have to do this alone. These modules are for anyone and everyone.

Let’s restore together… anytime, anywhere.

Join us this fall.

Here’s what you can do to help:
1. Subscribe to (https://www.youtube.com/) on YouTube. It’s FREE!

2. Watch 3 videos that speak to you

3. Like, comment, and share with 3 people who could use RELIEF and a little happiness. Ask them to subscribe and share with 3 of their friends.

This is about self-care and service. It’s about showing up for yourself and others. The world truly needs these simple, powerful practices. Together, we are raising people’s awareness and practice of UZIT. We all want to make a difference, and here’s a path to do so.

GoFundMe organized by Marcia Miller:
This fundraiser is for Nichola Dunne (and her dog), who has lost everything (including her Pilates Reformer) in the fires of LA. She helps others' well-being by teaching yoga, Pilates, and UZIT (an integrative method of self-care). Like so many others, she will need to start over with housing, clothing, and day-to-day needs. She teaches in person and online, and many of the people she serves are also impacted by these fires. If you would like to take a class with her online, reach out to her. In the meantime, please offer what you can to help her rebuild her physical and financial security.
