12 pm: Mindful Movement to Manage Stress
This yoga class uses gentle breathing practices, movements, and postures to promote a sense of well-being. The movements are selected to benefit guide dog handlers and white cane users, so we focus a lot on hips, back, shoulders, arms, and hands and other areas where we build up tension. You will be encouraged to modify the movements based on your range of motion and energy level that day. The whole practice can be done while sitting in a chair, but will be an option to stand for part of the practice if you so choose. We will finish with a guided awareness relaxation. Everything will be described clearly, and you can ask questions. What you'll need for this class: a firm chair that won't slide around as you move; a folded blanket or a couple of folded bath towels, and a bed pillow or throe pillow. This class is taught by yoga teacher Robin Mandell.
