Debbie Farmer is offering this research based therapeutic yoga program for cancer survivors. These classes are appropriate, with your doctor's permission, both during and after your cancer treatment. Past participants have found significant benefits in overall mood, stress levels, physical strength and quality of life. The class format enables the student to move slowly and safely in their pain free range of motion into modified asanas (postures) concentrating on relaxing the body, breathing fully, and developing awareness of the sensations of the body. As the sessions progress, the student moves from the modified version toward the full version of the postures, building strength, flexibility, and balance while maintaining that initial understanding of being relaxed and aware.

Class size is limited - please call ahead to register 406-294-9642

 Welcome to our Newest Teacher and her Two New Classes

Thursday a.m. 9:00-10:15  Stress Reduction

Friday p.m. 5:30-6:45  All Levels

Lisa Knowlton introduces herself... 

I was born in Billings, Mt. and after moving to northern California, I discovered the powerful, and integrated healing benefits of yoga.  I started practicing in 1995, and began teaching in 2000 under the guidance of my mentor Janice Gates, author of “Yogini, The Power of Women in Yoga”, and owner of The Yoga Garden in San Anselmo, California. With a heightened sensitivity to the subtleties of yoga, I work gently with students by encouraging awareness of the body, patterns in thinking, and the breath, while carefully guiding individuals toward proper alignment that will allow for maximum benefit. 

Just for fun!!!
