(mayo clinic article about benefits of Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong)


Dear Zen Room Friends,
Summer is here. Vacations, traveling, schedule changes.
Slowing down with the heat of the day.
In the transition time, be sure to make time in your ever lengthening summer days for your yoga, tai chi, qigong or meditation practice … 10, 20 or 75 minutes is all you need.
Your body and mind will thank you for it!
Namaste

"Starting to practice Yoga at age 54 is a huge challenge. While I struggle, Cathy has been inspiring, supporting and encouraging. Her clarity and enthusiasm make every practice a unique and rewarding experience. As a mature woman, I find Cathy’s movements exceptionally smooth, easy to follow, and non-injurious to my body. I go home feeling strong, stretched, and energized. Being a recent beginner of yoga I entered the class with the objective of losing weight, it has completely transformed into being something entirely different. I didn’t even think seriously that a series of movements could have any impact on my anxiety. Now I do yoga as something that is definitely more effective on my peace of mind than on my body (although I am seeing results there as well) . Not ever having practiced yoga before, I really was not sure what to expect. I am leaving with a sense of peace and relaxation that I did not think was possible in my life." - Karen
"Yoga, for me, is a time for focusing on the physical changes that have occurred with maturing and realizing the strenghening and cleansing that comes with patient practice. It even feels like an internal massage." - Clara

"I always leave the class feeling relaxed and streched." - Gracie Villanueva-Riggs
