Island Health and Fitness announces a Healing Yoga class designed for cancer patients and survivors on Sunday, October 23 from 2:00-3:15 P.M. at their Downtown location (310 Taughannock Blvd., Ithaca). Full scholarships covering the class cost are available to attendees.
Operations & Programming Manager Stephanie Wright has been working on creating this experience during October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Stephanie shares, “Participants can connect back to themselves as they explore the healing properties of breathing techniques, gentle movements, and stretches in this compassionate yoga class.”
The class fee covers class plus day passes to Island Health & Fitness and Rasa Spa (also valid October 23). With the day passes, participants can do another type of workout in addition to the class, swim, or simply enjoy the hot tub and sauna. They can then relax, shower, and reflect upstairs in the meditation room at Rasa Spa for a full day of wellness.
The class fee is just $15, and full scholarships are available so that anyone is able to attend. If you wish to make a donation to gift a spot to another, or if you would like to request a scholarship spot, visit www.islandhealthfitness.com/programs. Spots are limited, and advanced registration is recommended. Support people and caregivers are also welcome.
The class will be taught by Island Health & Fitness Yoga Instructor, Zoe Isaacson. Isaacson has been teaching yoga for six years, and is the owner of Skybranches Yoga. Her classes are meant to help others strengthen the mind, body and spirit. Isaacson shares, “my intention is for students to find the space to pause, connect, and move through obstacles, and to leave class to feel the peace that is truly inside each and every one of us.”
