Bring Peace and Balance into Your Life in 2009 - Free Yoga Sampler at Joy of Being
Brand New Moss Beach Studio to hold Yoga Day USA Celebration with free, introductory yoga classes Saturday, January 24, 12-4 p.m.
MOSS BEACH, CA, January 15, 2009 /New Age PR News/ -- To help spread the health and wellness benefits of yoga, Joy of Being at 2385-A Carlos Street off Highway 1 in Moss Beach is hosting an afternoon of free yoga workshops as part of Yoga Day USA, the national celebration of yoga.
Joy of Being, which opened last fall to great fanfare, is a beautifully designed, spiritual space that has been lovingly remodeled using all green materials. Such well-known and respected teachers as Klaus Lehrach, Jessica Archer, and Bess Corey teach weekly yoga classes at the studio.
At the free, drop-in yoga event, participants can expect:
-Beginning at noon, an introduction to the basics of yoga, including yogic philosophy, the history of yoga and health/wellness benefits.
-Two workshops with an emphasis on therapeutic, restorative and strength building poses offering a preview of the types of yoga offered at Joy of Being.
-An opportunity to explore and enjoy a healing, supportive space that's brand new to the coast.
Hundreds of Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT) and schools (RYS) throughout the United States will host free or low-cost workshops on Yoga Day USA designed to meet the unique needs of their local communities and change lives - all through yoga.
"Bringing together some of the most cutting edge yoga teachers, massage therapists and holistic healers in the Bay Area, Joy of Being is a unique and refreshing addition to the coastal community," said Jane Sanguinetti, owner of Joy of Being. "Yoga is for every body�young and old, flexible and not-so-flexible, from athletes to couch potatoes. This event will provide a safe and supportive introduction to the many diverse offerings at the studio, helping each person decide what type of yoga fits their needs and aspirations, whether it's to lose weight and get in shape, to heal an injury, or to bring more balance into their lives."
Yoga Day USA was created by Yoga Alliance, the international gold standard for professional yoga teachers & schools and the leader in setting standards that protect the health and welfare of society. According to a 2008 Yoga Journal study, 15.8 million Americans practice yoga and 14 million say that a doctor or therapist has recommended yoga to improve their health. Yoga as medical therapy is garnering more attention in the medical community as demonstrated by National Institute of Health's (NIH) first ever Yoga Week which explored the science and practice of yoga.
The benefits of yoga are numerous, including weight and stress management, improvement in heart health, and improved circulation. Practicing yoga can help with illnesses ranging from asthma to cancer. Yoga is also known for slowing the signs of aging, decreasing wrinkles, firming skin and reducing oxidative stress.
