Gentle Yoga
For Relaxation of Mind and Body
- Phyllis Pomerleau, CYT -

Tuesday Mornings 9:00 - 10:15 AM

Living with our mind and body relaxed is our natural state of being - a state of being many of us have forgotten due to the fast pace of life in our modern world. In this class, we will begin to retrain our mind and body in the art of deep relaxation, through the practices of gentle postures and movements, breath, meditation, and guided visualization. Deep relaxation is a key to good health, vitality and peace of mind.

Cost: $40 a month (paid at the first class of the month) $12 drop in fee

Phyllis also offers Therapeutic Yoga sessions by appointment. Therapeutic Yoga integrates restorative yoga, gentle yoga, healing touch, breathwork, guided visualization and meditation to create an environment that supports the body, mind and spirit in the process of healing. We are all healing at some level, whether psychologically, emotionally, or physically. This truly holistic practice dissolves those distinctions as it guides us to a sense of wholeness.
