New 5-week yoga session begins next Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at Chesterfield Family Center, 6-7pm. This session will focus on resetting our internal clock as the seasons change into fall and winter! Environmental cues can disrupt our sleep, digestion, and mood. We will use yoga poses (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama), and guided meditation (dhyana) to improve sleep, help seasonal affective disorder, and decrease cortisol (stress hormone). We incorporate chairs, blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets to ensure safety and balance and the poses are modified to personally fit you. Bring a mat and blanket, a bolster if you have one, and wear comfortable clothing. Please avoid large meals 2 hours prior to class, wear comfortable clothing, and consult your health care provider before starting. I look forward to seeing you on the mat! Namaste!
*Please note: prices have changed. I am working to get them lowered, but as of now, price is $45 for members and $60 for non-members. If you have Silver Sneakers, the membership cost is waived!*
