Teaching others the art of patience, flexibility and calm during stressful times is more important now than perhaps at any other time in history. Dealing with anxiety and the unknown is something we can all relate to but having the tools in one’s own self-help kit to handle all of this is essential to finding peace. For those who can teach the grace and skills needed to practice yoga, a centered-mind and inquisitive heart are key. Having a beautiful space in nature to practice these skills without anything but you, the wind, and tranquility amps up the learning process in exponential ways. At Heartwood Yoga Institute, all of this comes together in a place of absolute serenity and bliss.
“Discover your best nature,” one of the mottos that aptly describe the experiences your yoga teacher training will bring when you step foot onto the properties of Heartwood Yoga Institute. Their own words cannot possibly be improved on as the principals describe Heartwood Yoga Institute as a “haven of tranquility” and grounds with “hammocks for relaxation set among tree-lined paths adorned with orchids.” Long gone are the days of accessing yoga teaching certifications in stuffy classrooms or windowless studios. If your passions include truly accessing your inner ability to commune with nature, then sit back and look at all that Heartwood Yoga Institute offers.
Discreetly situated on seven luscious acres of wooded terrain with plenty of paths for exploring or taking the long way back to your studies, Heartwood Yoga Institute sets the stage for a mindful experience. With ponds for reflection and a Chakra garden with beautiful art, the nooks that you can relax in are plentiful. With nature painting the backdrop for this exceptional learning opportunity, guests can truly begin to feel the deep pangs of relaxation overtake their tendencies to be busy. It is clear for even yoga novices to see, that this special place with a learning library, creativity center and two yoga studios is the perfect world for learning the art of yoga.
In addition to offering RYT-200 and RYT-300 teaching certifications, weekly yoga classes, yoga therapy, writing, children’s classes and much more are offered at Heartwood Yoga Institute. From meditation, massage, daily and weekly workshops, special events and more, this is the place to come for a yoga-centered experience.
When it comes to IBE, the dedicated folks at Heartwood Yoga Institute offer barter credits for classes, group and private events and even massages. They love the dynamics of meeting new clients through IBE and particularly delight in seeing the “healing that happens through yoga when children are allowed to feel emotions so deeply, more than they might in a structured activity such as dance.” In addition to gaining new clientele, Heartwood Yoga Institute enjoys the convenience of contacting a friendly member of the vast IBE network for upkeep around the property such as tree removal. It has been a money-saving, easy venture to work with the IBE family of innovative merchants. If you or your family, even children or grandchildren need calm amid the storm, let the professionals at Heartwood Yoga Institute light the way.
Making end-of-life care preparations can be one of life’s most daunting experiences. Nobody wants to do it; some people are proactive and work out the details beforehand, while others are hit with it unexpectedly. In both scenarios, fear, sadness and shock can be among a variety of tough emotions you will feel. Having a confidante and guide throughout the process is essential to lessening the burden just a bit so you can focus on your family and friends and just get through each day. With more than 100 combined years’ experience, the Gendron family of Gendron Funeral Homes is your oasis. If you are facing the loss of a loved one and not sure where to turn, the Gendron’s are there for you.
Gendron Funeral and Cremation Services makes the toughest of times manageable. With their professional and compassionate team awaiting that call for help, you never have to feel unprepared for trying times. As Paul Gendron describes it, “We just do our best to be understanding and accommodating to our clients.” With their extensive background and a staff of caring funeral and pre-need counselors with a desire to help families in their definitive times of need, Gendron Funeral Homes is a name you can trust. From Naples to Fort Meyers, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa Lakeland, Sarasota, Bradenton and Port Charlotte, Gendron Funeral & Cremation, Inc. is your beacon.
The services that Gendron Funeral Homes provides are essential. Did you know that you can preplan most, if not all, of your end-of-life care as well as all funeral planning? Taking that burden away from family and friends can be a gift that is invaluable to the receiver. Plus, you get the peace of knowing that your final memorial service says all that you need it to, with whichever details you want. That way it is personalized and meaningful, something we all want.
Besides being an industry leader, Gendron Funeral Homes is proud to be a part of the Public Servant Program, where the funeral and burial costs for a deceased firefighter are absolutely nothing to the family. In fact, the Gendron family even bought their own firetrucks because deceased retired firefighters cannot ride on active firetrucks. The Gendron’s could not stand to see that happen so they stepped in with this generous offering to many area retired firefighter families. This is one of the ways the Gendron’s are always striving to go above and beyond for their clients.
The Gendron’s approach their transactions with IBE just as they do with their clients, delivering integrity and compassion with every dealing. They would like the IBE family of merchants to know that they offer a variety of services. When you are having to pay for these types of items on top of being in the throes of bereavement, thinking of finances can be overwhelming. With IBE, the ease of use that accompanies bartering makes the process easy and seamless, just at the perfect time that you need things to be simpler. Paul Gendron has always appreciated the “ways that IBE brings in new business that wouldn’t normally come to us.” He has always found IBE to provide a continual string of referrals from members and their families, to their extensive network of additional friendships and professional relationships. It has been a fruitful and positive experience for the Gendron family. As Paul likes to say, “IBE is great for paying for A/C, landscaping – – all types of business costs without having to use real cash.”

When you love your hometown so much that you stay long after graduation, investing in its very future by opening your business there, magic happens.

He goes on to say that it is “nice to get annual passes for our employees from Jax Car Wash, thanks to IBE.” Like many prudent IBE members, Jim likes to use IBE to take care of many of his fixed monthly expenses like shredding and office upkeep.

Raise your hand if you would like to come home to a fresh smelling, shiny clean house! I don’t mean the “wiped over, semi-dusted” kind of clean.

You don’t have to do it alone. Treat yourself today, because after all these years of cleaning, you deserve it. Give a sparkly look to your digs and see if that doesn’t also brighten your mood! Let New View Cleaning Services add a little shimmer and shine without you lifting a finger.

For Julie Reed, as an innovative, hard working businesswoman, thriving in an industry peppered with cleaning companies whose standards do not meet hers, time can be a fleeting commodity. This is the reason she cites for not having the opportunity to network more with other IBE members. She wants the IBE family to know that she would love to meet new clients and offer her amazing services via bartering. In turn, she is excited to really investigate all that IBE offers.
