Wellness Wednesday- Breathwork for Mental & Physical Health with Angie McDermott Schreier

Join South Peninsula Hospital's Health and Wellness for the first Wellness Wednesday of 2024 on January 3rd from 5:00-7:00pm at Kachemak Bay Campus, Homer.

In this workshop, Angie McDermott Schreier will share the power of the breath and how it can be used to improve your mental and physical health. Through a series of guided breathing exercises and meditation techniques, you'll learn how to tap into the healing power of your breath and use it to reduce stress and anxiety, improve your focus and clarity, and promote feelings of relaxation and calm.

Then, we'll flow into a gentle, Hatha-based yoga class led by Britt Huffman. This class focuses on traditional postures while incorporating mindful movements at a slower pace. Using our breath to complement each alignment-based posture will help bring awareness to where we are in each moment. Some poses may be held longer to help ease the nervous system while providing deep stretch. This class is great for all humans of all ages, those new to yoga and seasoned yogis looking to enrich their practice.

Britt is certified in Hatha yoga, Meditation, Yoga for the Special Child and is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor. You will find that her classes will blend together what she has learned into a unique experience. When she is not in yogi mode, Britt enjoys snowboarding, hiking, live music, dancing, gardening and will be welcoming her first child this spring!

We'll also have hot soup and delicious bread! This is a FREE event, everyone is welcome! Come for a part or stay for all!
