4:00pm- 5:00pm Fridays - $10/class
Christine chose to leave behind her career in para-medicine after her second son was born premature. Understanding the limitations of conventional medicine as well as the adverse effects of both pharmaceuticals and surgeries, came the desire to search out alternative options.Since then, she has studied a variety of holistic therapies and practices, including Qi-Gong.
Qi-Gong is an ancient form of healing exercises involving mediation, breath and controlled movements that help to move and balance the energy in the body. A great way to decompress the busyness of the week and head into the weekend feeling more balanced.

Carolyn Pigott: Registered Massage Therapist
Somatics Class
5 - 6:15 pm Mondays & Wednesdays
Registration: 4 pass class $60 | $18 drop in
I have worked closely with clients for over 18 years as a Registered Massage Therapist in
clinical practice, and three years as a Somatic Yoga Instructor. I deeply value the healing
experience that I witness in people who practice this kind of gentle movement class.
Through deep breathing and mindful focus, we gently move all of the deep postural
muscles and sense profound relaxation of some our body's deepest tension. In a somatic
yoga class we restrengthen the central nervous system control to the muscles to restore
balance and comfort in areas of long held patterns to return to better functionality.
