The Verona cancer support group WINGS (Women Inspiring, Nurturing, Giving Strength and Support) will hold a workshop on Yin Yoga on Thursday, January 18.
Yin Yoga is a practice of long held, deeply relaxing stretching poses that opens and energizes the body. Yin is calming and restoring to the nervous system and enables you to heal yourself, move negative emotions, and find a deep sense of peace in your body and mind.
During the workshop, which will be led by Jacquie Ruderman, poetry will be read and class will conclude with Yoga Metta, a loving kindness meditation and aromatherapy, a practice intended to induce full-body relaxation and a deep meditative state of conciousness. The practice is suitable for all levels, but please bring a towel, pillow and yoga mat if possible.
The Yin Yoga workshop will be held at the Verona Community Center, 880 Bloomfield Avenue, from 7 to 9 p.m. (The snow date, if needed, will be January 23.)
All WINGS programs are free of charge, but the group is asking that interested women register by calling 973-400-9529 or by emailing [email protected].
