Yoga and Movement Classes ~
EXERCISE FOR BALANCE
Strengthening and stretching for all bodies. Exercises are done both sitting and standing, with or without weights. Laugh and have fun with friends while getting stronger and improving your balance.
Free and open to all.
SLOW YO
An approach to yoga that adapts to the flexibility and strength. You don’t have to be flexible to do yoga, instead need a willingness to move your body that allows a flow and ease with the breath. Balance work is alway a part of the practice.
YOGA FOR EVERY BODY
Yoga for Every Body is a wonderful way to greet the day or wind down after a busy day. Marnie’s practice is gentle flow with a few challenging postures worked in with modifications suggested and encouraged. Marnie offers the morning practice live and on zoom.
Cost: $18 or 10 sessions for $150.
LAUGHTER YOGA
Besides being loads of fun, there are many health benefits to laughter: boosts the immune system, increases the flow of oxygens, lowers blood pressure, reduces depression and anxiety. Who would have thought! This can be done sitting or standing. Schedule a private session with friends and family and laugh!
“Laughter is like mental floss. It clears the cobwebs of our minds”
Offered by request.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi ~
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese practice that is based in the martial arts. It is a form of exercise that involves slow movements, deep breaths and concentration.
There are many physical and emotional benefits of Tai Chi that improve your overall health and well-being, and this has been supported by research. A few of these are: live longer, improve muscle strength, improve balance and flexibility, boost cognitive function, improve night-time sleep quality, reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, decrease anxiety and depression, and reduce pain from arthritis.
I offer Tai Chi classes regularly on Madeline Island at the Madeline Island Library, which can be found on my calendar here.
