4th Sundays at Fernwood Decadent Yin Yoga Series
Sunday 9/27, 10/25, 11/22 and 12/27
3:00 – 4:30 PM
Boost your flexibility, calm your nervous system, and release tension from your body. Give your aches some love. Build your capacity to be with things as they are, to meet the moment, and to feel and release.
Explore what can be delicious within health. Find the *first* edge of discomfort (nowhere near as much as you can stand or pain) and give it the support it needs to melt. Then savor internal space physically, mentally and emotionally.
You’ll work on your body’s fascial system, which plays a vital role in how your body communicates, adapts to stress, and even how diseases like cancer might spread.
Fascia can lose its flexibility and become stiff due to prolonged sitting, repetitive stress, inactivity, scarring or injury. Maintain the health of this network through slow, intentional movement, precise stretching, and myofascial release crucial for improving range of motion and overall well-being. Give yourself this health boost in a generous way.
This is a very slow practice and requires being able to get down to your mat…. but then you get to stay there for the duration!
Dress for yoga plus a layer (not as warming as faster paced classes) and bring an eye pillow if desired.
45 each or 159 for all four. These classes require pre-registration at https://fernwoodholistichealth.com/calendar/yin/
Wednesdays October 7th – November 11th at Fernwood Fall Prevention Training
10:30 – 11:30 AM
Build proprioception, balance, and resilience! Become sturdy: explore how we inhabit our bodies; dynamic balance exercises; non-dominant muscle meridians; and lower body strength.
Falling is a leading cause of death and loss of independence; the *fear* of falling can lead us to limit activity. This training helps you feel more able to move confidently and securely. Appropriate for regaining skills after injury or surgery—I originally designed this training for a physical therapy practice—as well as for general fall prevention.
Please note: Fall prevention skills are different from being strong; although there will be some strength-building in this program it is focused on the factors that help with fall prevention. So if you’re strong already this can still be a great practice for you! We’d love to have you with us.
Online Option
Classes are also available in a private Facebook group… for playback when it’s convenient for you (each class is available for at least a week). A few days before class begins, your instructor will reach out with instructions for joining this group.
