Yoga for Mental Health: Info

My dear colleague, Elizabeth Plapinger, an experienced caring yoga teacher, is re-starting the fall yoga classes in the Chealsea area in Manhattan. I work with her at the hospital clinic, offering the Holistic Health and Wellness group to patients; it is a popular group thanks to her presence. Elizabeth is excellent in helping people slow down, stay with the body, and find resources within it. I highly recommend her yoga class!

Dear old friends and new!

It's time for the fall classes of Yoga for Mental Wellness (YMW) at The Breathing Project to resume! Come explore how regular morning yoga jump starts your day!

Our fall session begins next week on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, September 13 and14, at 10:30 am. Please note that both our classes now begin at 10:30 am, giving folks a little more time to get to us. Our classes are by $5.00 donation or free.

YMW CLASSES are open to adults of any age or fitness level living with mental health challenges. Family members, care givers and mental health workers are also most welcome. Consistent attendance of at least at one class per week is encouraged!

PLACE: The Breathing Project, 15 W. 26th Street, 10th Floor, NY, NY 10010. The Breathing Project is located between 6th Avenue and Broadway, and is easily accessible by subway and buses.

WHY YOGA: Research and experience indicate that the regular practice of yoga can reduce depression, anxiety and stress, enhance mood and problem-solving abilities, improve strength and flexibility, lessen tiredness, and increase energy and alertness. Join us in our beautiful, sunlit studio and explore how yoga works for you!
