AM Gentle Yoga with Terry, meets on the first, third, and fourth Thursday of each month at 8:00AM for the summer.

Join Terry Conroy, RYT, 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.

Meets the first and third Thursday.

For those who are bereaved, social distancing restrictions are even more taxing than for many others. This bi-monthly discussion-based group seeks to increase connection and provide support through the sharing of experiences, challenges, and emotions during this difficult time.

This group is open to all WH members who have suffered the loss of a loved one to cancer and are experiencing extra challenges in coping with that loss during COVID-19 restrictions. Individuals with a very recent loss may not be a good fit for a support group but are encouraged to contact us through admin@annapoliswellnesshouse.org to request appropriate support resources.

Meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday. 

Monthly group program for the practice of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for stress reduction. EFT is often called emotional acupuncture (but, we don’t use needles). It quickly and effectively reduces stress and neutralizes negative emotions that we hang onto from unpleasant or traumatic life experiences. EFT combines focusing your thoughts on unpleasant memories or events, with gentle tapping on certain facial and upper body acupressure points. It is painless and the results are long lasting. EFT allows you to think more clearly and positively as your emotional stress is reduced.

Facilitated by Christine Hunt, Wellness Coach & Consultant Certified EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner
