Yoga Day in Owosso, Michigan
Posted by: Paula Alexander, RYT 200
Yoga Day 2009 saw was celebrated in Owosso, Michigan by instructors Paula Alexander, RYT and Tom Routhier at Paula's Roads' End studio. The duo held free classes to introduce people to yoga. Tom is a new instructor, so he held a Fit Yoga class for students who had some yoga experience so they could experience his teaching style. He also held a beginner's class. Paula taught modified yoga for students with multiple sclerosis and fibromyalia, adjusting the poses so they could practice safely, as well as a beginner's class.
Twenty-four students took advantage of the classes, five of whom practiced yoga for the first time. Participants were asked to bring a nonperishable food item to be donated to the St. John’s United Church of Christ food pantry. The shelves of the food bank were well stocked by their efforts.
