Mayflower Wellness Month Session #4: Yoga Therapy

The fourth information session in the series of four presentations regarding “healthy minds/healthy bodies” at The Mayflower Community will feature Jackie Hutchison, local licensed physical therapist. She has specialty training and experience as a licensed craniosacral therapist.

Entitled “Letting Go of Everything That No Longer Serves You: Mindfulness Yoga,” the session will discuss how yoga practice can work to open the body and mind to accept new ideas, emotional patterns, thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Specifically, the goals of yoga therapy include 1)reducing the symptoms of suffering, which can be addressed; 2)managing the symptoms that cannot be reduced; 3)improving life function; and 4)shifting attitude and perspective in relationship to life’s challenges.

The public is invited to this one-hour program, which will include question-and-answer time, on Thursday, June 27th; 2:00-3:00pm; Mayflower Health Center, 2nd floor Carman Center, 600 Park Street, Grinnell.

This session follows the successful Wellness Month presentations regarding craniosacral therapy by licensed physical therapist, Jackie Hutchison; mindfulness by licensed acupuncturist, Danielle Sadler; and food as medicine by hospitalist Jennifer Paisley, M.D. and organic-farmer Andrew Dunham.
