CLASS DESCRIPTION:

GENTLE YOGA FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT AND FLEXIBILITY 

     For new and continuing students, this slower-paced, non-competitive class provides props (blocks, blankets and yoga belts) to support the body.   (Physically-fit students who want a gentler approach to yoga also can benefit from this class.)  Participants are encouraged to move at their own comfort and ability.   

     Class includes stretching and yoga postures; stress awareness and stress management; healthy breathing; and deep relaxation.  You will need to get down onto the floor and back up without assistance.  

     Arrive early to first class to fill out a participation form.

     BRING A YOGA MAT AND THROW BLANKET.   

• THE REGULAR PRACTICE OF YOGA CAN INCREASE YOUR FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, BODY TONE, BALANCE, CONCENTRATION, ENERGY, AND ABILITY TO MANAGE STRESS. 

• PRACTICING (DOING) YOGA IN GROUP CLASSES CAN ENHANCE THE YOGA EXPERIENCE FROM THE SHARED FOCUS AND COMMITMENT OF FELLOW STUDENTS ALSO DESIRING GREATER HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. 

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Comfort at the Computer and Desktop Stretches

     Learn to sit at your computer desk in a healthier, more comfortable posture.  Practice stretching your body in "mini-breaks" that relieve muscular tension (these can be practiced at home first until you feel familiar incorporating them into the workplace).  Acquire stress management skills for greater energy and alertness.  Tools for working on body "knots" and acupressure points will be available for use.  Arrive early to fill out a participation form.
