INTRO TO MEDITATION (WITH YOGA) Each class begins with a short Gentle Yoga practice to prepare body and mind for sitting. We will briefly discuss the week’s medita- tion and then try it out. Discover a new technique each week and learn how to choose a practice that fits your personality. Gather helpful tools for taking meditation home with you. All levels welcome. Instructor: Sheron Jutila #46647 Wednesdays September 5 - October 10 10:00 - 11:30 am Filberg Rotary Hall $72/6 YIN YOGA Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative and slow moving practice. It uses long held, (sometimes prop supported) passive poses to release connec- tive tissue and deeply held parts of the body and mind. This class includes mostly ‘low to the ground poses’ (seated, lying on back or belly). No class October 30. Instructor: Wendy Davies #46655 Tuesdays

This series of gentle postures focuses on bringing mobility to the joints. This class moves slowly, giving time to explore and modify as we go. The ‘joint releasing se- ries’ can be used alone as a gentle practice or as a warm up for other activities.
