SAINT PAUL, Minn. – On Thursday, November 29, Mayor Melvin Carter commended participants of Energize Saint Paul’s Race to Reduce energy benchmarking program at a recognition ceremony held at 12eyes Brewery.
Energize Saint Paul’s Race to Reduce summer program encouraged large commercial, multifamily, and public buildings to maximize their energy efficiency with operations and maintenance-based solutions. More than 100 buildings benchmarked their energy usage, participated in networking events and webinars, and utilized tips from City partners to implement energy efficiency strategies.

Benchmarking energy usage is a step that allows building owners and occupants to understand relative energy performance, and identifies opportunities to cut energy waste.
Participants receiving commendation included Center for Energy and Environment, CommonBond Communities, Halverson Blaiser Group/The Pioneer Endicott Buildings, HealthPartners, Lawson Commons, Macalester College, MetroPlains, Metro Transit, Minnesota Department of Administration, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Prior Works, River of Goods, Saint Paul Public Library, Saint Paul Public Schools, University of St. Thomas, The Waters of Highland Park and Wells Fargo Place.

– 12pm: Restorative Yoga with Emily Rose
– 1pm : Meditation on the subtle body + a 15 minute guided savasana with adjustments from JQ and Emily Rose
Class Descriptions:
Hatha Yoga with JQ
Sometimes, to relax our muscles, we have to use them and get the blood flowing! This class will focus on gentle activation of the muscles around the shoulder girdle and the neck and head to bring awareness and improve posture. We will move through some simple exercises that work effectively using the least amount of effort. Expect to break a light sweat and to walk away with improved body awareness.
Partner Stretching and Thai Massage
Ever needed a hand scratching your back? We all have! Working with a partner is a great way to deepen your yoga practice plus, getting a little massage is always a nice touch! This workshop will not include acro yoga, so you will never be entirely off the ground. Expect to lean on one another, to communicate about the level of depth or pressure you want and to have a few laughs!
Restorative Yoga
How deeply can you let go? Can you soften every muscle in your body, including your tongue? This class is focused on complete surrender. You will be supported by props in each pose so you can relax and let gravity do all the work. Expect to move slow and don't feel bad if you fall asleep! It happens to everyone at some point ;)
Meditation on the Subtle Body
Meditation can seem intimidating, maybe you've thought, "oh, I have too many thoughts for meditation" or "I'm not 'zen' enough". The truth is, very few people have clear heads when meditating, the idea is that in meditation we are allowing all the thoughts to drain out. Imagine a dam on the top of a mountain, sometimes sitting in meditation is like opening up the floodgates on that dam. In the silence it feels like the thoughts grow louder and more irritating like rough rapids flying through your mind and body. Over time, and with practice, the dam returns to a normal stream, some days the water will be higher and the thoughts more frequent, other days it will be less and you may find a moment of bliss as the thoughts float away from you. The style of meditating we will do in this class isn't just sitting still and praying we don't have thoughts. We will start with some light breath work and gentle oscillating movements to soothe the nervous system. Then, we will practice focusing on the sensations at different points in our bodies. To finish we will lay on our backs, listen to the sound of waves and float away on a guided meditation. the last few minutes of class Emily Rose and JQ will bring you back into your bodies by giving you light adjustments and guiding you into vocalizations.
Featuring goodies from our Pioneer Pass partner 
We hope to see you at this event, and many more!
JQ & Emily Rose

When did you start at Pioneer Endicott?
August 2014
What part of your job do you enjoy most?
The diversity. Every day is different and I meet all kinds of amazing people each day. We have amazing residents in our community.
What do you like most about working at Pioneer Endicott?
We are a Historic property that isn’t cookie cutter. Each apartment is different and when touring here you never know what you will find in apartments that are newly put on notice. It’s fun showing the history of the building and sharing our community not only with prospective new residents but with anyone that wants to see how we have preserved the history of the building.
Hobbies:
Spending time with the kids, play pool and darts, watch lots of movies, listen to live bands and have friends in a few bands around the Cities.
If you could live anywhere for a month, where would it be and why?
I have lived in or visited 13 countries and 173 cities at last count. Germany was one of the most amazing places I have lived but I love the heat. Would love to go live on a beach somewhere and lose my cell phone for a month. I was stationed in Cyprus for 6 months, the heat was amazing, the ocean was beautiful and just walking outside onto sand and swimming in the ocean whenever I wanted was awesome.
What’s your favorite song lyric?
Don’t have a favorite lyric. Like all types and genres of music but in 21 years of living here I still don’t get Country.
What are you most proud of?
My amazing kids and also I served my Country when my grandparents thought I wouldn’t be able to handle the discipline.
Say "hey" to David and let him know you know all about him (but not in a creepy way).
Watch for more "Get-to-Know" features throughout the year!
