Yoga and Meditation for Women of All Ages
with Anne Kertz Kernion
Are you looking for some time away to nurture your body and soul? Then this retreat is for you! During this weekend, we will explore several varieties of yoga: Chair, Yin, Restorative, and a hybrid of Iyengar/Hatha yoga. No matter your experience level, you will be able to participate and benefit from the diversity of yoga styles. Modifications will be provided for novices, and extra challenges given for advanced students. In addition, we will learn about and practice several forms of meditation, all of which have been shown to boost our cognitive and physical health. You will leave the weekend rejuvenated, equipped with many tools to continue caring for your body and spirit.
