“A Heavenly Experience!”
What is Cradle Yoga? It is yoga performed in a hammock (a long, beautifully colored stretchy fabric
suspended from above) that feels fabulous, wrapping you in a cocoon of comfort. Have fun as you
experience all the benefits of yoga – and more. Lengthen and strengthen your entire body, targeting the core
while toning all leg, arm and shoulder muscles. This unique yoga technique has been proven to elongate your
height up to 1 ½ inches by slowly and gently opening up spaces between each vertebrae, reducing – and
often eliminating -- back pain. Inversions help to realign the spine, the body’s lifeline, as it releases calming
hormones in the pituitary gland, leaving you feeling blissfully rejuvenated, yet relaxed. Treat yourself to this
joyfully playful yoga workout, and feel like a kid again. This is the first and only location in the Flint and
Genesee County area to offer Cradle Yoga. Space is limited to 4 students, so sign up now and give yourself
the gift of a Cradle Yoga Experience!

Have you turned down a chance to go out with family or friends because you were concerned about
falling? Have you cut down on a favorite activity because you might fall? If so, A Matter of Balance:
Managing Concerns about Falls is a program for you.
Fear of falling can be just as dangerous as falling itself. People who develop this fear often limit their
activities, which can result in severe physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater.
Many older adults also experience increased isolation and depression when they limit their
interactions with family and friends. A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life
and remain independent.
A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older
adults. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to
reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.
Matter of Balance is an eight-week program. Classes are FREE and will begin on
Monday, October 22nd from 4:00-6:00pm Please call the office to reserve your spot!
