Beginners Basic Yoga
Time
10:30 AM
Hi my name is Kate Lane and I am a passionate Yogi excited to share with you my basic beginner yoga class focusing on opening the heart! A great way to start the new year. Starting off easy on the floor, we will work our way up to standing, including a lot of twists, slight backbends, and sun salutations sure to open up this area that can get blocked with a lot of things we don't need. Yoga is all about letting go of what we don't need so we can fill up on what we do! Everything I offer is a suggestion, never a must! You should always honor your body! We all have a different life experience full of injuries, memories ,and genetics that are unique to us as an individual. I have been doing yoga for about 8 years and have also been a licensed professional massage therapist for 10 and know the importance of the mind body connection. After a health crisis of my own I became a yogi after being told by my neurologist "you have to do yoga! In a world where a lot of things happen that we don't have control over, yoga gives us control over the one thing we really can: ourselves! It teaches us to go within which is where healing happens. Hope to see you in class!

The support group is a great mix of women at different points in time since their initial diagnosis (newly diagnosed, recurrence, and long term survivors). It is a wonderful vehicle that helps survivors establish
contact with others in order to reduce anxiety, fear, and isolation. The group offers an opportunity to discuss concerns and possible misconceptions related to treatment in a safe, loving environment. The support group has become the missing link
for many - the glue that joins mind, body, and spirit. The special camaraderie that is shared helps survivors realize they are not alone in their battle against this disease. You can get information about new cancer treatments, receive encouragement
from others, be inspired by the personal stories, laugh, and cry in a safe environment. Meetings consist of informal sharing of information in a round table format with occasional speakers. To provide additional support, a chaplain is always present
at the meetings. Approximately 15-25 ladies attend the monthly meetings from different stages in their journeys.

Beginners Basic Yoga
Time
10:30 AM
Hi my name is Kate Lane and I am a passionate Yogi excited to share with you my basic beginner yoga class focusing on opening the heart! A great way to start the new year. Starting off easy on the floor, we will work our way up to standing, including a lot of twists, slight backbends, and sun salutations sure to open up this area that can get blocked with a lot of things we don't need. Yoga is all about letting go of what we don't need so we can fill up on what we do! Everything I offer is a suggestion, never a must! You should always honor your body! We all have a different life experience full of injuries, memories ,and genetics that are unique to us as an individual. I have been doing yoga for about 8 years and have also been a licensed professional massage therapist for 10 and know the importance of the mind body connection. After a health crisis of my own I became a yogi after being told by my neurologist "you have to do yoga! In a world where a lot of things happen that we don't have control over, yoga gives us control over the one thing we really can: ourselves! It teaches us to go within which is where healing happens. Hope to see you in class!
