Join Petra for an evening of gentle yoga to benefit a special cause, The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
Slow down with a feel-good flow that soothes and relaxes the body and mind. Experience the healing benefits of a yoga practice as they relate to our auto-immune health and parasympathetic nervous system.
Suitable for all levels, including those new to yoga.
More information about the cause:
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Both are autoimmune and painful illnesses that attack the digestive system and currently there is no cure. It is estimated that nearly 3 million Americans have IBD. Since its inception, The Foundation has become the largest organization dedicated to curing IBD and has funded more than 1,100 grants for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research.
Petra, RYT 200 found yoga after years of struggles with staying healthy, and grants regular yoga practice with finally being able to quiet her autoimmune system into long term remission. Petra believes that in order to take care of others, we need to take care of ourselves first. Once she fell in love with yoga, she knew she wanted to share her passion with others. She sees yoga as a way of living her most authentic self. Petra’s style of teaching is centered around YogaWorks method, a Vinyasa-based flow method that balances precise instruction, detailed alignment, breath and fluid movement. She is also CENTER Yoga + Wellness studio manager.
