Community Events & Presentations
The Y is more than a place to workout. It’s a community to connect with others, develop skills, nuture better health for yourself and your family, and find a greater sense of purpose.
Mindfulness Course
Led by certified yoga instructor and energy healer Karin, this course supports inner harmony and well-being as we shift into the introspective season of fall.
October is designated as Emotional Wellness Month, encouraging emotional well-being through mindfulness and meditation practices. This month we will learn key tools for developing emotional regulation, managing stress, and fostering a healthy emotional state. Join us for one, two, or all three sessions to cultivate inner peace.
1) October 2- Eye Movement & Sensory Perception
Gentle eye movements stimulate cranial nerves and support vagal nerve activation, calming the nervous system. Combining this with sensory awareness—focusing on sights, sounds, smells, taste, and touch—anchors the mind in the present moment, helping reduce anxiety and improve focus.
2) October 9-Breathing & Somatic Awareness
Slow, intentional breathing (like diaphragmatic or alternate nostril breathing) activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation. Pairing the breath with somatic awareness—tuning into body sensations—helps release tension and fosters mind-body connection.
3) October 16-Meditation Practices
- Concentration: Focus on one object or the breath to train attention.
- Japa: Repetition of a word, phrase, or mantra for calmness and mental clarity.
- Movement: Gentle, mindful walking or yoga to combine motion with presence.
- Guided Meditation: Following a facilitator’s voice to support relaxation and inner focus.
