“Breath is Life, Movement is Life.” Data and experience suggests an increased focus, energy, self-awareness, and overall happiness while regularly practicing Mindful Movement. This class introduces several systems of mindful movement and how to integrate these practices into your daily lives to obtain a greater sense of personal empowerment and balance.

Even if one practices poses and sequences on the yoga mat daily, by its very nature most ‘Yoga is done off the yoga mat!’ Yoga is an integrated holistic, wellness oriented lifestyle which is the foundation for this class. A number of years ago the University of Arkansas adopted an 8 dimensional model of health and wellness that shares a number of characteristics with the Yoga lifestyle. Ed Mink, retired Director of University of Arkansas Wellness & Health, will introduce this paradigm and explore the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Compassion and non-violence, as well as ‘Yogic eating” will also be explored and practiced with intention. Through experiential learning, participants will come to realize and appreciate Yoga as Wellness.
Participants should bring a personal wellness journal to class along with a yoga mat or towel. Dress in easy-to-move-in clothing.
Marilyn Heifner will lead class members as they explore Arkansas and the Ozarks through four well-written books by regional authors. Book Selections: March 6 - Brooks Blevins, Up South in the Ozarks; April 3 - Eli Cranor, Ozark Dogs; May 1 - Jerry Hogan, Forgotten Fayetteville; and June 5 - Molly Giles, The Home for Unwed Husbands.
Participants are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the books each month, and to have read the selection in time for a class discussion. (Recommended...Pearl’s Books will give 20% off if you mention OLLI Book Club).
This class is open to current members only
