Me Time with MCCOY
9:30am – 11:00am online
This Virtual Chair Yoga class will lead you through breathing techniques that can help ease stress and bring connection to the body right at your desk. You will be guided through a short sequence of gentle movements to connect with the body. You will use the breath to guide the body through the movements and release tension along the body. We will close the session with a guided meditation to bring focus to the mind to set you up for your day. All of the elements of the practice will be ones that you can use beyond this time in pieces or as a whole to help relieve tension, bring focus, and/or encourage connection.
This class will be led by Ashlea. She is a 200RYT, Buti Yoga Instructor and NASM -CPT at Balance and Breath Yoga in Plainfield.
We are constantly looking for new opportunities to provide meaningful learning experiences for youth-serving professionals, caring adults, and young people.
