intended to replace any medical treatment or traditional therapy, but can be used to
compliment it. This class begins in a safe space, with guided breathing and turning inward

specific poses designed to help release trauma. By gently bringing the brain/body back into
a rest mode it can help restore physical, mental and emotional balance.
The Senior Center is appreciative and thrilled that she is offering this class Free to Veterans

sometimes they are underserved. This is her way of giving back to those that protect
and protected our nation. This is a class for them to take time for themselves to destress,
rest and restore, put themselves first for one hour a week.
