YOGA FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
An Adapted Yoga Class
This adapted yoga program began at the Lakewood-Trumbull Y in 2002 and has run continuously since then, first through funding from the MS Society, but now run through the generous support of the Y’s contributors.
This class is modified to meet the needs of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. The aim of practicing yoga is not to merely assume specific postures, but rather to combine breathing, posture, movement and awareness to achieve relaxation and body awareness.
Practicing yoga can give you tools to help manage everyday tasks that include balancing to stand or walk, strengthening and alignment for standing up and sitting down and core strength for everything you do.
Classes are currently:
In Person – Mondays 10:30am
On Zoom – Wednesdays 10:30am
This class is offered at no cost to YMCA members as well as members of the community. Please contact Joanne Orenstein, Health & Wellness Director, for more information. jorenstein@cccymca.org
