Prenatal Yoga, Foam Rolling at Sunset Yoga
Beginning March 10, Sunset Yoga Center will offer a prenatal yoga class, taught by Sally Hoesing, R.N., an experienced labor and delivery nurse. Moms-to-be at all stages of pregnancy are invited to join Sally on Sunday mornings from 9-10 am. Hoesing incorporates her experience as a Labor & Delivery RN into her prenatal classes, and her adventures as a mama to influence her love for supporting postpartum mothers. During labor, Sally found that her own yoga practice helped to truly stay in the moment with each contraction. She believes yoga can help women tune into their bodies and reach a meditative state, even in those intense birthing moments.
On Saturday March 23, from 1-2:30 pm, Julie Burtis will teach a foam rolling class. The foam roller is a cylindrical piece of dense foam that is used to release tight muscles, prevent injuries, and improve circulation. In this workshop, participants will learn to use this tool to treat a variety of muscle groups, including the calves, IT band, and quadriceps. A printout of the techniques taught in class will be provided.
Foam rollers can be purchased online or in most sporting goods stores and generally cost about $20. Black foam rollers provide a more intense massage, white foam rollers are more gentle. A 6x36 inch foam roller is recommended for this workshop. Foam rolling techniques are performed on the floor using the arms to support part of the body’s weight. Participants must be comfortable getting up and down from the floor and bearing some weight in the arms. Cost $25. Preregistration is required.
Sunset Yoga Center is located at 12923 NW Cornell. Visit their website at sunsetyoga.com, or call 503-539-4504 to find out more and pre-register.
Virtue of the month: Commitment
 Commitment is caring deeply about a person, a goal or a belief. Once we discern a direction, we go for it wholeheartedly. We do not hold back, second guess our decision, or hesitate to act on it fully. We set goals and achieve them. We make promises and keep them. We go the extra mile. We are faithful to our relationship.
The Practice of Commitment: I am discerning about my decisions. I give 100% to whatever I do. I am confident in my choices. I keep my agreements. I am loyal to those I care about. I have the strength to go the distance. Virtues Reflection Cards, Brought to you by Virtues Connection Portland, Oregon. More information at www.virtuesconnectionportland.com, www.virtuesproject.com.
