Led by JeanetteThis is the "rest and restore" part of the class. We rotate between meditation, qi-gong, energy therapies and more stretching with deep breathing. Relax your whole body to the sound of peaceful music and Jeanette's soothing voice. You will be guided into feeling good and letting go of stress and tension. Give yourself the gift of your own natural presence and experience joyful gratitude for the many blessings in your life. (On the first Friday and third Monday of each month we do fun, beginner line dances from 10:40am-11am, instead of relaxation practices.)
