RYT-200 Hour Certified Yoga Alliance Instructor Heather English offers gentle/beginner’s yoga every Monday and Thursday. People of all fitness levels and abilities are encouraged to participate whenever available. Heather began practicing yoga for the mental health benefits and became a yoga instructor in order to share these amazing benefits with others. She is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life. In fact, it was her yoga training that motivated her to begin crafting as a career, to share her crafting with others, and to regularly explore the intersection of yoga and creativity. Let’s see how Heather can help us benefit from yoga! Yoga meets in person at Prairiewoods. The cost is $99 for an eleven-punch card or $60 for a six-punch card, one punch per session.
