Please read! Aid Yoga is an all-levels yoga class designed to teach students about stretching and relaxation poses and how to use these skills on and off the mat. Yoga is a physical practice that goes beyond teaching students how to move according to their comfort zones. This kind of workout teaches students how to regain control of their breathing, how to trust themselves, how to create a safe space, and how to cope with a stressful event. The purpose of hosting Aid Yoga© at the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) is two fold: to provide a free, community event that benefits the mind and body of the students while also giving them tools to take with them into the humanitarian field or in life. The class structure will build onto itself and have a theme so that the more classes a student joins, the more they will advance, learn, and improve their practice. No class will be the same. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to seeing you in class!
Date and time: Thursday, January 23, 2025
Location: IIHA Refuge Gallery located on the second floor in Canisius Hall. 2546 Belmont Ave, Bronx, NY 10458
Theme: Last class we learned "active feet." For this class, we explore how we store stress in our neck and how to accommodate this crucial body part that is essential for carrying nutrients to our body. We will incorporate both "active feet" and "relaxed neck" into this sequence. As always, there's a private, individual journal prompt at the beginning of each class.
Maximum capacity: Ten (10) people
Attention! Please only register if you intend on coming. We base our food order and measure space off of your registration. Thank you!
