Due to the snow, there will be NO Chair Yoga with Sacred SoulScapes this morning. Whether or not you have attended our free classes, Trinity invites you to check out our resident yogi Pastor Melissa Madara offerings online! It's a great way to loosen up before or after shoveling snow! (Link in comments!) We'll return to our weekly schedule next week with Chair Yoga at 9:15 AM in yoga room 405. Classes are free, donations gratefully accepted.

Clergy/ministry friends! We are doing another one: a new online yoga/spiritual formation opportunity for anyone who might be feeling a bit weary and worn-out:

For clergy, church staff, and faith leaders, the seasons of Lent, Holy Week, and Easter can be profoundly impactful and deeply resonant, while at the same time bringing with them a deep level of physical and mental exhaustion. This 7-week yoga series (beginning April 3 at 9am Eastern via Zoom) is a place for leaders to come and receive a space of rest and renewal, coupled with gentle movement and contemplative prayer as we together seek the renewing joy of resurrection, exploring the theme of joy as a spiritual practice.

These classes will blend together elements of restorative yoga, plus gentle hatha (active) yoga. All classes are appropriate for all levels; beginners are welcome. Included in this course is one (optional) individual session of spiritual direction, plus a weekly written meditation for use in your spiritual practice.

CEUs are available.
