YOGA FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

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.

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

We help kids reach their potential and thrive in a safe, trustworthy setting. We offer a curriculum that aligns with the school day and supports growth in literacy, science, math, science, engineering and technology (STEM) while infusing the arts, physical activity and fun. We teach kids confidence, encourage self-expression and enrich social development.
