Community Yoga
Join us for a Kripalu All-Level Community Yoga Class organized by the amazing folks at the Guilford Recreation Commission.
This class is accessible to people of all abilities and experience. Kripalu-style yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that is a nonsectarian and nondogmatic vinyasa (flow) style class. Each class includes a centering pranayama (breathing exercise), warm-ups, asana (posture) sequences, and a final guided shavasana (relaxation). Modification prompts will be provided for those who would like to challenge themselves or those who would like accessibility options for their body.
Discover the mind-body connection, encourage stress reduction, and improve self-regulation and physical health. Guided by Lindsay Parise, a yoga practitioner of over two decades, who is excited to offer this community-based class.
This 60-minute class meets at the Broad Brook Community Center every Monday at 5 pm.
COST: by donation, suggested $10 ($5 for seniors and those receiving EBT benefits)
PARTICIPANTS: adults and children 10 and older are welcome, children need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the class.
Participants should bring their own mat and any props they might need, though a few will be available to borrow. Chairs will be available if this modification is needed.
Senior Support Group
Guilford seniors (65 and older) are invited to attend the new Senior Support Group hosted by Guilford Cares every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at the Broad Brook Community Center from 1:00 – 2:00 pm.
Join your neighbors and meet new friends to discuss the challenges of aging in place. Deb Albright, retired nurse and professional facilitator, will help the group follow some simple guidelines but participants will determine what comes up for discussion. We expect a range of topics including health and fitness, loneliness, communication with family, and change. Join fellow seniors and share and receive helpful insights and ideas.
