TOWNSHEND – In addition to its popular Tuesday and Friday yoga classes, Grace Cottage is offering a ‘Chair Yoga’ class from 1 to 1:45 p.m. on Wednesdays, March 7 through April 11. Beginners to yoga are welcome, as is anyone with limited flexibility or an inability to practice on the floor. Participants will flow through an eclectic blend of seated and standing poses while incorporating breathing techniques into their movements.
In this class, participants will open their hips, move shoulders and neck, and find length in their spine. A goal is to experience peaceful relaxation as well as gentle invigoration.
Grace Cottage’s ongoing yoga classes, taught in the Viniyoga tradition, are 3:30-5 p.m. Tuesdays and 4:30-6 p.m. Fridays. Both the new six-week Chair class and the Viniyoga classes are taught by Crystal Mansfield, Grace Cottage’s director of Rehabilitation Services and Wellness Programs and a certified yoga instructor who trained at the Kripalu Institute.
The cost for any weekly yoga class is $25 for six weeks, or $5 per class. All classes are held in the warm, bright Grace Cottage Community Wellness Center, Heins Building, 133Grafton Road (Route 35,) Townshend. Prior to attending a first class, call (802) 365-3649.
