If you are unfamiliar with yoga, it is a form of exercises that have been practiced for more than 5,000 years, and currently, over 11 million Americans are enjoying its health benefits. Yoga teaches you how to move your body in new ways and incorporates relaxation techniques that are good for your mind. Yoga integrates stretching and use of core body muscles to build strength, improve posture, and increase flexibility. In addition, by choosing yoga and the calm environment it provides for your regular workout, your stress levels will decrease.
Our certified yoga instructor, Alex, is thrilled to join the People’s Center Health Services team and teach a beginners yoga class. She says, “In Yoga Therapy, we will be focusing on improved health through unity of mind, body, and spirit. A combination of physical activity and meditative exercise will provide both psychological and physical benefits, including decreased stress and improved strength and flexibility.” Alex became interested in yoga after taking a class herself for nine months and noticed the positive changes it made in her life. She explains, “Yoga has changed my life. Physically, it has strengthened my muscles, improved my posture, and increased my balance and flexibility. Beyond the physical benefits, it has changed the way I handle stress, the way I interact with people, and my attitude towards life in general.”
Yoga Therapy will be held at People’s Center (in room 411) on Thursdays at 5:15 p.m. Come after work to de-stress and get your body in shape!
