Support Your Best Intentions with Yoga By Beth Howard
In the February 2012 Yoga Journal magazine, Mirka Scalco Kraftsow offers sound advice for starting fresh with broken New Year’s resolutions:
“It happens. Despite your best intentions, you find yourself roaming the Internet for hours … chatting on the phone when you’ve blocked out time to exercise, or scarfing down a pint of ice cream when you’ve already had enough to eat. If you’ve developed some awareness through your practice, you probably know which behaviors are no longer serving you, and you sincerely want to overcome them. So it can be frustrating to catch yourself slipping back into old habits. Fortunately, yoga offers a compassionate approach to making changes.”
Yoga classes help to support your best intentions. Choose a class that fits your schedule.
Monday 5:30 – 6:30 PM and Saturday 8:45 – 10:00 AM, $7 / class (a NEW class!) with Natalie Vernon
Wednesday 5:30 – 6:30 PM with Paula Gordinier
Tuesday & Thursday Noon – 1:00 PM with Beth Howard
$5.00 / class (except Saturdays) All classes taught on a drop-in basis for all abilities. Mats, blankets and yoga props provided as needed. Beginners are always welcome. Call 683-4554 for instructors or with questions.
People come to yoga for many different reasons: to improve balance and flexibility; to relieve the over-all achiness of aging; or as cross training for an active aerobic exercise program. But, whatever the reason that got them into yoga, most people find that its benefits go beyond enhancing their physical health and mental acuity to promoting emotional balance and spiritual awareness as well. In short, yoga offers a way to bring balance to a person's whole being. In 2012, resolve to take care of yourself: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Try a yoga class. Whatever reason brings you to class, you will reap ALL the benefits.
