Come to the Peace Abbey on Tuesdays at 10:30AM beginning on October 18th for a class in yoga and meditation. All levels are welcome! Led by the new student intern, Rachel Bairstow, these classes will focus on connection to the body and breath, deep relaxation, and self-reflection. Rachel is trained in a variety of yoga styles and has been practicing yoga and mediation in various forms for the last eight years. She welcomes practitioners of all levels to her classes, and feels strongly that everyone - no matter your shape, size, color or creed - can do yoga, and can enjoy its enormous benefits. No experience with yoga or meditation is expected or required; only a willingness to breathe deeply and relax. Please bring your own mat if you have one; the Abbey has a limited number of mats available. | |
