Stress Reduction and Mind-Body Medicine Classes

MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) was created for the treatment of stress-related disorders at U. Mass. Medical Center by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Mindfulness Meditation is used as the core of finding a better way of being in the world by reducing anxiety, depression and pain, increasing effectiveness in relationships and career, and by learning new ways of responding to stressful situations.

Two, four and 8-week classes will be offered starting in the Spring with a new egaging MBSR instructor.

Additional Mind-Body Medicine techniques will be offered in classes and workshops with another new dynamic instructor. Watch for the new offerings.

MBSR was featured in Newsweek September 27, 2004

Stretching

Classes

 

 

Stretching Classes are held by request. Put a group of friends or fellow athletes together (minimum of 4 students).

The class is designed to teach the basics of stretching so that the active person can repeat the stretches outside of class. Each class will go over Active Isolated Stretches for the whole body with more detailed instruction on a featured area. Learning AIS in class or in personal appointments will prepare you to do the full routine on your own.

Yoga    

Private and Semi-Private Yoga sessions and small classes are available for the able-bodied and disabled. Learn one-on-one or bring a friend or two to join you.

Yoga Classes have been cancelled until further notice.
