YOGA CLASSES OFFERED AT WELLINGTON COMMUNITY CENTER

 

 

The Village of Wellington Leisure Services Department is offering Yoga classes at the Community Center, 12165 Forest Hill Boulevard.  Yoga is a unique way to integrate body, mind and spirit by opening the wisdom of your body and practicing compassionate self-awareness. It also unifies all the different aspects of our being: body, mind and spirit (breath); yoga brings us in contact with the deep inner peace that is our true nature.

 

Gentle Yoga for Gentle You-Yoga Basics, gives special attention to the details of Yoga posture: body alignment, mental attitude and movement of breath throughout the body-mind. Emphasis is on the awareness of body mechanics; building strength and balance in all body postures, as well as stress management techniques: releasing tension in the body, mind and breath.

 

Gentle Yoga-Level 1, can be taken separately or in conjunction with Yoga Basics. A bit more challenging than Yoga Basics, Level 1 is still a gentle way to stretch and strengthen your body and mind. Building on the experience of Yoga Basics, this class will explore longer holding times in posture, with emphasis on awareness of mental, emotional, and energetic “shifts” in the body/mind and breath.

 

Yoga Basics begins Tuesday, May 16, with Level 1 starting Thursday, May 18. Both classes meet once a week, 10:45-11:45am for six weeks. Cost per session is $15 for residents and $25 for non-residents. The instructor, Rita S. Micelle (Satyr) is a professional level certified instructor of Kraal Yoga, and is certified as a Yoga Therapist, with the school of Integrative Yoga Therapy.

 

Mayor Tom Wenham, Vice-Mayor Bob Margolis along with Council Members Lizbeth Benacquisto, Laurie Cohen and Dr. Carmine Prior, are pleased to bring exciting and innovative programs to the Village, always looking for ways to improve services for all its residents.
