Calendar

Join Julia Simmons, 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.

Join Terry Conroy, RYT, as she guides members in a gentle morning stretch routine focused on shaking off the stiffness of the night and the extended period of sitting many of us have been recently experiencing. This class will be led from a seated position in a chair. Please have a strap, belt, or towel available for an extra good stretch. Give your body a treat to start your week.

Join our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Leader, Phebe Duff, for meditation and discussion.

Welcome to Energy Wednesday:  
This month we will briefly review the subtle energy body and how it is part of our overall well-being.  Focus will be on learning several self-care energy techniques including centering breath, grounding, creating a loving energetic boundary, and a mind-clearing technique for relaxation and quieting the mind.  
Please have a pen/pencil and a piece of paper available.     

Facilitated by Marna Ross, MS, HTCP and assisted by CelesteBeauregard HTCP.

For those who are bereaved, social distancing restrictions are even more taxing than for many others. This 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. 
They meet the first and third Thursday of each month.

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.
