Virtual Fundraiser - Event Descriptions

Guided Meditation Workshop

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one's attention to the internal and external experiences

occurring in the present moment.  Evidence supports the use of mindfulness programs to alleviate

symptoms of a variety of mental and physical disorders.  Mindfulness meditation has been connected

to favorable structural changes in the brain, including prevention or delay in the onset of

dementia.  It is also a great way to increase focus, decrease stress, and stimulate your

creativity.

David Chandler is the founder and director of Eagle's Quest Tai Chi Center.  No previous experience

is needed  for  this  workshop. Participants will learn about different types of meditation

practices and will be guided through a mindfulness meditation.  There will be time for questions

and answers.

Tai Chi and Yoga

TAI CHI:  Slow, gentle, flowing movements, connecting our breath with our movements, providing us

with a feeling of calm and relaxation, as well as helping to slow ourselves down. Can be done

standing, with a chair, or in a chair.

YOGA: A full body stretch and toning session, in a gentle, safe makes sense kind of way. Particular

attention to our bodys' alignment, space, and softness. Can be done standing, with a chair, or in a

chair.

Kim Langley is a contracted instructor at The Estuary Council of Seniors, Inc. and has been

teaching both Tai Chi and Yoga here at the senior center for several years. This class is an

introduction level class. You do not need prior experience to enjoy it.
