Greetings from YFL!!! Happy Presidents Day!!! Yes, we are open today!!! This is “Return to the Wall” week at the studio. The Wall is a wonderful prop for resistance, alignment, and focus!!! Our Sanskrit focus will be ‘Pratyahara’, or to withdraw from external stimuli, and stay connected to the body via the breath. Our mudra (hand gesture) is the ‘Pran’, which helps us control the flow of Prana or life force through the body. This mudra elevates our energy levels, and prevents fatigue. Our meditation focus will be “Staying Present”, and may be contemplated, while listening to “Meditation”.

Deb’s Yin practice will emphasize and support maintenance of a healthy back.

I am happy to announce that the ancient art of Quigong will be offered at YFL on Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Jan Tucker is the instructor, and the drop-in cost is $15. This class is appropriate for beginners. Please contact Deb for more detailed information.
