Please join us for a time of self-care facilitated by Dr. Mary Lynn Colosimo. The morning will include a healthy breakfast followed by a time of gentle yoga, meditation, lecture, discussion and an optional Thai yoga massage. We will discuss and engage in activities to bring balance into the lives of busy women, find yoga postures to help us relax and even sleep better at night, and create an art project to conclude the day. This interactive workshop is great for women attending alone and even better when a few friends attend together!

9:00 Breakfast
9:30-10:30 Lecture and Discussion
10:30-11:30 Yoga and Meditation
11:30 -12:00 Art Project and optional Thai Yoga Massage

She has taught psychology at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois, for more than 20 years and recently began teaching yoga there as well. She also teaches yoga at The Center for Body and Soul in Palos Heights. Mary has always been interested in self-concept development and more recently has focused on the mind-body connection.
