SUMMARY:"Pure Stretch" drop-in class at Providence Rec Center (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Stretching! We benefit from it so much\, but we often skip it — I know I do! \nIn this drop-in class (no registration needed\, just admission to the rec center)\, we stretch the whole body to calm music\, breathe deeply and relax. You’ll listen to your body and what it needs today — no pressure\, just tuning in and finding your own “yes\, I needed that!!” \nWe start standing and moving gently on the mat\, transition to seated\, and then spend the entire second half of the class lying down\, using a yoga strap to help stretch our hamstrings\, hips and more. \nYou’ll feel more lightness and ease in your body and mind after this 55-minute Pure Stretch session. Hope to see you! \nThe class meets regularly at 10:30 on Tuesdays\, and there is also a great session at 10:30 on Thursdays led by another instructor. \n

SUMMARY:Laughter Yoga on Zoom: Join\, Laugh\, Connect!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t feel like laughing? I get it! But “laughing on purpose” with a friendly\, supportive group on Zoom can help us feel better fast! \nHere’s what some of the June participants said: ? \nI feel like I’m rising with bubbles\, like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! \nI feel less stiff and more flexible. \nI went from a 5 to an 8 out of 10! \nI’m more energized\, with a good attitude! ? \nJoin me and a bunch of wonderful women from the nationwide group Finding Female Friends >50 for a rejuvenating “mini-spa” experience and a break from everyday life. Family members and other women younger than 50 are also welcome in this session. \nHow to join: \n\nContact me for the Zoom link\nor join our wonderful\, free nationwide network of women 50+ here (and when you do\, look for your local group too for great in-person events!)\n\nLaughter Yoga has no yoga poses and no jokes. Instead\, we do simple activities\, with a bit of gentle movement and deep breathing\, to get ourselves “laughing for no reason.” We get loose and even a little silly\, but always at your own comfort level (camera off is fine if you choose!). \nFind out more about the practice at www.laughteryoga.org\, and more about me at www.fierceafter45.com. \nI’m a certified Laughter Yoga leader as well as a health coach\, and I love this practice because it’s a super-simple and fun way to empower ourselves and boost our resilience. \nI hope to see you! \n
