Tai Chi

A low impact, slow-motion exercise, featuring a focused series of movements  accompanied by deep breathing to help maintain strength, flexibility and balance.

And you can get started even if you aren't in top shape or the best of health.

· Thurs  8:30-9:30 am

· Instructor: Tara Southard

Yoga Stretch

Start your day by easing into a yoga stretching routine that will loosen up your body and wake up your muscles. A great way to get energized for the day ahead. This class is designed for everyone regardless of age and fitness level.

Meet the Instructors

Debra Bosna

Debra recently closed her popular and beloved Freestyle Yoga studio in Cape Charles, but shares her gift of yoga at Indigo in Nassawadox and now at ESYCC. Debra has been practicing yoga for almost 20 years, and has found the empowering freedom that the practice of yoga brings to her life. Her education includes two 200-hour teacher trainings, a 500-hour YTT, Yoga Therapy certification, and several other 50-hour training programs such as yoga for chronic pain relief, depression, and anxiety.

Debra’s primary teacher and mentor is Yoganand Michael Carroll, the founder of Pranakriya Yoga, who she feels blessed to know. Under his direction, she has come to learn the true meaning of yoga. Debra found that yoga allowed her to overcome the doubt and insecurity that comes along with the (seeming) limitations of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Through her personal physical adversity, she has gained the confidence to present yoga to all shapes and sizes, all levels of ability from brand new beginner to tri-athlete. There is no one way to practice. There is YOUR way, and it is liberating!

Debra hopes to bring the beauty of yoga to the world and says: “Yoga has enhanced my life in countless ways, and I am thrilled and honored to share it with you.”
