MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ – The popular gentle yoga classes continue at Trailside Nature and Science Center on Tuesday evenings as part of the center’s adult programs. Sponsored by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks and Community Renewal, the yoga series for adults 18 years and older will continue each Tuesday evening through June 5.
“These yoga classes, held in the beautiful and tranquil setting of the Trailside Visitor Center, are a great opportunity for busy adults to learn methods for reducing the stresses of daily life,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
Each gentle yoga session runs from 7:15 – 8:30 p.m. and the fee for Union County residents is $15 per class and $20 for out-of-county participants. Pre-registration is preferred as space is limited; however, walk-ins are welcome as space permits.
The series of yoga classes is an opportunity to learn and experience Raja yoga techniques for integrating body and mind. Claire M. Bay, a yoga instructor certified by the Chopra Center in New York City, guides the participants in this new pathway of meditation.
Yoga techniques can awaken poise and centered awareness in the midst of everyday life. Participants also learn how to use nature’s healing powers to relieve stress and its symptoms. Soothing music will enhance the overall experience. Doors open 15 minutes prior to each yoga class and participants are asked to bring a yoga mat or pillow.
