Weekly on Thursdays in the Great Hall or on the Kress porch, weather permitting.
The class will include music, flexibility, and strength building in a casual atmosphere. The class will facilitate “finding your center” with breath and body balance. Starting from the ground upward to the top of your head, we will practice movements which connect you with your body, heart, and intellectual wholeness. This new class will also enhance and complement your current Yoga practice. Particular “hand gestures”, called Mudras, can improve cognitive functioning as well as neuro-muscular re-coordination. Our “spinal mobilization” movement series is a movement path toward the prevention of osteoporosis. Visualizations and “mental sense impressions” will improve well being and quality of relaxation.
