Vinyasa means “connection breath and movement.” This style of yoga will have you moving and flowing between poses with special attention to breathing. This class will be mixed levels, with options to make your yoga practice as challenging or relaxing as you'd like. 

Gentle yoga will be a slow style of yoga, with more time spent in poses.

For both classes, you should bring your own yoga mat and props (blocks, bolster) if desired.

Yoga Anywhere Challenge - Part Two, Three days

I received comments that it was hard to find some of the yoga posters in last month's Yoga Anywhere Challenge. So, it's BACK! And easy to find. :) 

For October 16-18 only, you have an opportunity to earn 10 PATHpoints by doing the Yoga Anywhere Challenge. 

All 13 poses are up in the hallway near the Health Office. Tomorrow, another set of the same poses will be up in the cafeteria.

When can you try a few yoga stretches? Maybe...

...before or after the Healthcare meeting this afternoon?

...while waiting for a flu shot tomorrow in the cafeteria?

...while taking a wellness break before or after our inservice training tomorrow?

​Attached is the Yoga Anywhere Challenge sheet​. Be sure to write your name on the top, and check the yoga pose after you try it. I will also have copies of the sheet at the Healthcare meeting today, at the flu shot tomorrow, and at the training Wednesday afternoon. Return your completed copy of the challenge card to your Wellness Leader.

Stretch. Breathe. Be Well.

Clothing Drive Update

Just a reminder that we are collecting for the clothing drive/giveaway now until October 30th! Please connect with either Grace Holcomb or Jaycie Puttlitz about any and all donations. 

UPDATE: We are in great need of children/youth sized clothing as well as winter jackets, snow pants, boots and mittens for all ages and sizes! We currently do NOT need any women's clothing, please!

HLS Challenge: Week 1 Update

We are just one week in to the Healthy Life Survey Challenge, and already 34 people have taken the survey! THANK YOU WSD Employees!  We only need 66 more completed surveys to reach our goal of 100 participants!

If you take the survey in October, you will earn 60 PATHpoints. As an added incentive, you can chose another gift if you forward me the confirmation note from PATH that shows the 60 points have been awarded. We still have plenty of gifts left including Contigo travel mugs, knit hats, and insulated shopping bags.
