Join us for a new monthly program in 2025 (February through December), Gentle Yoga with Ruth, held on the second Friday of each month at 11 a.m. ET. Let’s take time to revitalize and enjoy self-care and gentle yoga.
About the Event
Healthy living requires attention, motivation, and action! These 60-minute gentle chair yoga classes are designed to help you slow down, come into the present moment, and focus on breathing, stretching, strengthening, and balancing. The body is designed to move, and yoga connects the mind, body, breath, and heart into a sense of wholeness, well-being, and peace.
Led by Ruth Sharon, M.S., LPC, RYT —an experienced yoga teacher, licensed professional counselor, wellness and relationship coach, and retreat leader— this class offers participants the chance to:
Ruth leads the class from a chair and provides modifications for those who prefer to practice on a mat. Beginner yogis are welcome! Please consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise regimen.
