Nothing is as liberating as joy. It frees the mind and fills it with tranquility. Act happy. Genuine joy will follow. 

Get into the habit of singing a tune. It will give you new life and fill you with joy.

Acu-Yoga 4-week series at Parkpoint Club

1200 North Dutton Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA

October 6, 13, 20, 27 (mark your calendars!)

Saturdays 10:30 - 11:30pm (all levels welcome!!)

 

DETAIL: 

Acu-Yoga is a system of exercises integrating the knowledge of two holistic methods of health maintenance-acupressure and yoga. Both relax muscular tension and balance the vital life forces of the body.

 

Each Acu-Yoga posture naturally presses and stretches certain nerves, muscles, and acupressure points, awakening the meridians and releasing the tension in the points so that energy (chi) can circulate freely. This energy is the source of all life, and its flow is the key to radiant health. The process balances the body and stimulates it to heal itself.

 

Sign up for the series by calling Parkpoint Club:  578-1640

Four Weeks Members: $40   Nonmembers: $55

Drop-In   Members: $12   Nonmembers: $15
