MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ – The popular gentle yoga series is returning to Trailside Nature  & Science Center on Tuesday evenings this fall as part of the center’s adult programs.  The yoga series, for adults 18 years and older, will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 14, and run for ten consecutive Tuesdays, through Nov. 16. Each session runs from 7:15 - 8:30 p.m.

“This yoga series, held in the beautiful and tranquil setting of the Trailside Visitor Center, is a great opportunity to relax your body and mind and learn methods to reduce the stresses of daily life,” said Freeholder Vice Chairman Deborah Scanlon, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
 
The fee for Union County residents is $15.00 per class and $20.00 for out-of-county participants. Pre-registration is preferred as space is limited; participants can register for individual sessions. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to each yoga class and participants are asked to bring a yoga mat or pillow.

Yoga instructor Claire M. Bay, certified by the Chopra Center in New York City, is returning to Trailside to teach and guide the participants in this new pathway to meditation. These classes offer a chance to learn and experience Raja yoga techniques that can awaken poise and centered awareness in the midst of everyday life. Participants will also learn how to use nature’s healing powers to relieve stress and its symptoms. Soothing music will enhance the overall experience.

This yoga series will be offered on the following Tuesday evenings: Sept. 14, 21, 28, Oct. 5, 12, 19, 26 and Nov. 2, 9 and 16.
