Happy Spring!
It’s so great to see the daffodils, tulips, and flowering trees in bloom. And it’s wonderful to have the positive energy of yoga flowing at our Center again.
Volunteers Needed
We could use some volunteers to spread the new wood chips on the walkway at that Center. If your high school student or scout needs to do community service hours, this activity counts because we are a non-profit organization.
Call Steve at 315-583-5500 if you can help out. Thanks!

Monday Flow and Restore 6:15-7:30 pm with Carla VanWormer
This class is designed to cultivate mindfulness, integrate breath and movement, and help you achieve balance for the body and mind. Flow and Restore is a calming yet stimulating yoga class with a mix of active flowing sequences and more passive restorative release. Poses are held for a longer period of time allowing students to find their edge and soften into restful relaxation. Pranayama and meditation is also weaved into the class. Props are used as tools to become more aware of the body and listen to its feedback.
Thursday Vinyasa Flow 4:00-5:15 pm with Carla (for the month of July, this class will meet at 9 -10:15 am)
