The Art of reflective Listening 



Reflective Listening is a powerful way to practice conscious, 

compassionate presence. it is a chance to truly hear and be heard. 

Reflective listening is the art and skill of paying attention to what the 

speaker is saying, and reflecting back what they said in their words. 

this fascinating and practical approach to communication is based 

on the belief that people have the innate capacity to solve their own 

problems, and the role of the listener is to act as a mirror. In this 

class we will explore and practice the key elements of body language/ 

eye contact, listening for the emotion, clarifying, paraphrasing, and 

summarizing.

interval Training 

instructor: Bobbi Kittle 


interval training is made up of short segments of very intense activity 

followed by a short recovery period where strength training drills or 

a less intense form of the original activiites are done while you catch 

your breath (active recovery). This type of training maximizes your 

exercise time by helping burn more calries in a short amount of time 

and essentially solves the ‘lack of time’ issue that most people says 

leads to inactivity. interval training is beneficial and ideal for people 

of all fitness levels. it helps build cardiovascular endurance as well as 

muscle strength in half the time as endurance training with similar 

results. During basic interval training sessions, you complete basic 

drills like walking for 2-3 minutes, then running for 1-2 minutes, and 

repeating this cycle for the duration of the session. the following 

interval training drills are built on the same idea but also involve a few 

strengthening active recovery drills to give you a complete and wellrounded 

workout.
