Doesn’t it often seem that life has become even more challenging?    Children have assigned “play dates” and lots of other scheduled activities where we are rushing back/forth to drop them off and pick them up.    Many employers expect you to be available online through the use of portable devices.    There are more cars on our congested roads which causes the aggravation of waiting in traffic.     And these are just a few examples of why we have more stress today.    Medical professionals all agree that stress has a very negative effect on us, and it can be a contributing factor to health issues.

At Moonflower Yoga in Bellmore, on Long Island, New York’s Nassau County, we recognize the importance of reducing stress for our clients.    We have a wonderful candlelight restorative class where you are pampered for an hour with soft music playing in twinkling candlelight.     There are other great yoga classes too such as Unwind and Relax, where you will do a bit of movement to release muscle tension from the day but then we restoratively end the class to help you have a great night’s sleep.    In October, we have added a meditation workshop at Moonflower Yoga to help you feel better.    And, for something more energetic, there is the popular Stress Reducing Vinyasa Flow class on Monday and Tuesday nights where you will move your stress out and then end the class in quiet restoration.

Although these are all great yoga classes that will make you feel fabulous, sometimes we need to take the additional step of going on vacation and leaving everything behind for a week and exploring a new destination.    For us at Moonflower Yoga, our staff of great yoga teachers is taking a one-week break and the Moonflower Yoga studio will be closed the week of Labor Day, returning on Sunday, September 8^th.    We wish everyone a wonderful Labor Day week.   For those of you who are returning back to school, have a successful school year.

And if you would like to try one of our great stress-reducing yoga classes at Moonflower Yoga in Bellmore, New York, in Long Island’s Nassau County, you can reserve your space online from our website, www.moonfloweryoga.com.    See you all soon!!
