4:30 pm: Mid‑Week Movements and Meditation with Frances Wong.


September 23, 2020

Stop by for a mid-week check in and to reset yourself for the rest of the week with some light stretches and deep breathing. A certified yoga instructor, Frances Wong will guide you through some gentle movements to wake the body up and then move into some breath work to soothe the nervous system. The sessions are informal and intended to be short and sweet with time briefly at the beginning to check in and see how people are feeling. All you need is a chair without armrests to sit in and clothing that allows for easy movement. These sessions are beginner friendly and no experience is necessary.

Please note the new date and time. Mid-Week Movements and Meditation starts on September 9. Sessions runs on Wednesdays at 4:30PM and are 20 minutes long, via Zoom. Pre-register by emailing us at info@balancefba.org
