Madison Town Column: multi-level yoga classes at Silver Lake Massage

Sharon Bogess, M.Ed., continues on-going multi-level yoga classes at Silver Lake Massage at 1527 Old Village Road in Madison. The classes are held on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Studies have shown that yoga can enhance one's mode and overall sense of wellbeing as well as lead to inproved balance, flexibility, range of motion and strength.  Yoga may also reduce risk factors for chronic diseases and help alleviate depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia. Classes begin with meditative centering, breathing exercises and warm-up.  Each class is a sequence of postures that stretch, strengthen and balance the body.  The sessions end with relaxation and meditation.  Bogess is known for her ability to create a safe, nourishing environment; promoting the use of props, and/or suggesting modifications when appropriate.  For a limited time, newcomers may buy a month's worth of classes for $30 valid from June 17 to July 12. Wear loose and comfortable clothes. Standard fees are: drop in $12, or one may purchase a 10 class coupon book for $100 with no expiration date.  For more information call Sharon at 367-9911.
