Use caution with links and attachments.
Good morning,

Erin Finck of the Trauma Sensitive Yoga Project is offering a free Gentle Yoga session at the Athens Library meeting room on Sept 11th from 5:30-6:30 pm in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day (which is September 10th, but the library is closed that day). See more of what this practice entails through her below description or the attached flyer:

“This is a beginner-friendly, trauma-informed yoga session that focuses on creating a felt sense of groundedness and centeredness in the body. This practice uses the breath in conscious, intentional ways to soothe the nervous system, allowing us to enter a state of rest and relaxation. Gentle yoga invites participants to explore ways in which one can support oneself, rather than trying to push themselves to their limits. This practice encourages a greater sense of self-awareness, which allows us to be more conscious of our and others' needs. It helps us understand what our needs are, and how much is enough. It invites us to listen to the needs of our bodies so we can learn how to better respond.

We will close practice with a loving-kindness meditation. This is intended to send feelings of loving-kindness to ourselves and others, another way to offer support to ourselves and others.

This is a free practice in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day."

If you have the ability, bring a mat, and water.
