The Connor Integrative Medicine Network at University Hospitals once again presents four-week yoga and meditation classes, offered at a discounted price for Case Western Reserve University employees, students and volunteers. In addition to the discount price, throughout November, CIMN will continue its “Bring a Friend for Free” promotion.
The hatha yoga course, held Tuesdays Nov. 6–27 from 6 to 7 p.m., blends a variety of levels of yoga poses with an exploration of the body, mind, and spirit connection through breathing and meditative practices.
The gentle hatha yoga class, held Thursdays Nov. 8, 15 and 29 and Dec. 6, from 5 to 6 p.m., combines breath awareness and guided relaxation practices along with some standing, seated (on the floor) and reclining poses. This class is appropriate for beginners, individuals with low back pain or other health conditions, and more experienced students who want a slower paced, less strenuous class.
Both yoga classes are held on the sixth floor of the Bolwell Building.
In addition, meditation courses are available. In Meditation 101, participants will experience meditation and learn practical tools that will help manage stress effectively and tap into natural healing abilities. The class is held every Wednesday, Nov. 7–28, from 5 to 6 p.m.
The Meditation 102 series aims to help participants develop a more consistent meditation practice and experience the cumulative benefits on their emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health. This month’s topic will be walking meditation. The classes will be held Mondays from Nov. 5 to 26, noon–1 p.m.
Both meditation courses will be held in the first-floor conference room B of Bolwell Building.
Each four-week series is $40 for Case Western Reserve or University Hospitals employees; community members are welcome for $60 each series. Call 216.767.8435 to register.
