Rama Lotus Ambassadors

As a service (seva) to our community we have developed the Rama Lotus Ambassadors program. It is our intention that through this program and others like it we can actively participate and contribute in uplifting our community. We are committed to making yoga available to all! By offering yoga and other related services in an accessible way, we hope to challenge minds, heal bodies, and strengthen spirits. Seva is part of a spiritual practice, by giving back from the heart we serve the community with the awareness that we are all connected. Serving even one helps to spread the light to all!

Our Ambassadors, many of whom are graduates of our past Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Programs, are working with various organizations in our community, including at risk youth, the homeless population, and others working in the face of adversity. It is our hope that we are able to bring yoga into the lives of those who need it most and that they may benefit from this practice. Classes are offered as a community service to your group in the location of your choice. If you know of an organization or group that is in need of healing and uplifting please contact us and ask for more information about our Ambassador program.  We are blessed to be a part of this community and it is with an open heart that we extend these ancient teachings outwards.

Muscle Activation Techniques^TM

Restore Body Alignment through Muscle Activation Techniques^TM with Ed Hum, at the Rama Lotus Yoga Centre

Improve your performance

Move without pain

Return to your favourite activities

Improve the quality of your life

Muscle Activation Techniques, or MAT for short, is a revolutionary approach to the assessment and correction of muscular imbalances in the human body. It is a straightforward, non-invasive technique designed to balance the muscular system. MAT provides the tools to identify restrictions in motion and joint instability relating to muscular tightness and weakness. Through a unique systematic format, MAT techniques are used to "jumpstart" the muscles in order for the muscle system to function with maximum efficiency. 

MAT's goal is to restore function to anyone who wishes to function pain free!  If you have experienced any of the following conditions, you can benefit from MAT:

- Muscular weakness or tightness

- Limitations in motion or flexibility

- Impaired performance

- Injury or pain in muscles and/or joints

Whether you practice yoga or not, efficient joint motion is essential to your success.

MAT is available at the Rama Lotus Yoga Centre from Ed Hum. You may already know Ed as a Bikram Yoga teacher in the Hot Room. Ed became a Certified MAT Specialist in December of 2006, and was also certified in November 2005 as an MAT Jumpstart Certified Trainer. 

In addition to MAT, Ed can also offer you low-level laser therapy, a safe and effective way to reduce pain and inflammation, help heal wounds, unwind into complete relaxation, and reduce the effects of aging. By placing the Quantumwave laser device on various areas of your body, a low-intensity laser light enters your body with scalar waves, and helps to neutralize chronic pain and stress. For more information about Quantumwave laser devices, go to www.ilovemylaser.com
