WHOLE BODY YOGA and NEW: Community YOGA

Community Yoga is held every FIRST SATURDAY of the month at 9:00am. This is a FREE class to all who wish to experience a “Good Morning” class.  All other Saturday classes of the month will be led by either Bonnie or Diane. During these Saturday morning classes we develop an awareness for how Yoga benefits the entire body. We will practice strengthening poses for muscle & bone health, calming poses to reduce stress, and learn ways to refresh internal organs. Come and experience poses that stimulate the circulatory system as well as glands and hormones. Some poses focus on a Yin style of lengthening connective tissue and stimulate energy meridians.  A continuous yoga practice is the most beneficial for the entire body, mind and soul! Drop in anytime $12 – all levels welcome!

CHAIR YOGA

Chair yoga can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age and physical or mental ability. All postures are done seated for safety and to encourage movement without fear of losing balance.  Chair yoga can be a life enhancing program for healthy aging.  A typical class will develop a new body awareness through seated yoga postures and focus on proper breathing. Bonnie will come to your facility to offer a physical/ social activity that helps stimulate the mind and emotions in a positive way.  Each posture is demonstrated moving only to the point of slight sensation or gentle stretch. Each participant may have certain challenges and every pose will look unique on each individual. Bonnie closes each class with a short relaxation using stage-by-stage relaxation techniques. Call Bonnie Murphy to schedule an introductory class for your group! 530.432.6929.
