Calendar

Meets the first Friday.

Join Julia for a slow paced gentle yoga. Yoga moves at a slow pace to release stress and tension from joints and muscles, and focuses on improving flexibility and movement. Restorative poses will calm the nervous system and aid in the release of deeply held tensions from the body and mind. You may want to have a chair, strap (belt or towel) as props available to be used as needed to support posture, while gently strengthening and stretching the body.

Julia Simmons, RYT

Singing bowls may be used during the practice to promote relaxation.
