PRESS RELEASE - On Sunday December 7th, Sayana Yoga Alternative Medical Centre in Mon Repos will celebrate it’s 1 year anniversary with a grand fundraiser and open house.
Owner and instructor Monetta Wilson says, “I wanted to celebrate by giving back to the community. What better way than to raise much needed funds for the Mon Repos Community After School Programme?”
The fundraiser will be held on Sunday December 7th from 3 to 6pm.
There will be games, door prizes and refreshments. Members of the community will be able to experience yoga during one or both of two classes held on that day. The first class will be a “flow” class that promises to be sweaty, invigorating and relaxing. This will be followed by a guided relaxation. All classes will be donation based, meaning patrons will pay as little or as much as they have.
The pricing structure will allow persons of all economic backgrounds to experience yoga; a gentle exercise suitable for persons of all fitness levels.
“You do not need to touch your toes, stand on your head or twist your body into fancy shapes,” Monetta emphasizes. “At Sayana Yoga we modify our classes to fit our students’ needs. Each pose that we use has many modifications that can be used to make it accessible to all.”
Yoga has many therapeutic benefits. It reduces stress and calms the nerves. In addition to helping people maintain a healthy lifestyle through increased activity, weight loss and muscle toning; yoga can also help alleviate the symptoms of many chronic health problems. Many persons who practice yoga find relief from backache, arthritis, rheumatism and other chronic pain. It also helps ailments such as menstrual discomfort, headache, anxiety and mild depression.
Monetta hopes that you will help her support the Mon Repos Community After School Community Programme on December 7th. Whether you observe or participate we will be threilled to have you.
