New Classes and Presentations at Integrative Mindfulness

Madeline Ebelini

Madeline Ebelini, a registered yoga teacher and founder of Integrative Mindfulness, will give two free introductory presentations on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction at 10 a.m., November 10, and at 5:30 p.m., November 12, at the Bonita Springs facility. Ebelini will discuss the upcoming eight-week, evidence-based course in mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga and scientific research pioneered by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. A personal mindfulness practice can improve sleep, decrease anxiety, improve listening, enhance relationships and make one more present for all life situations.

In addition, Dina Radcliffe, registered yoga teacher, is offering Chair Yoga classes for individuals with special physical  needs or limited flexibility from 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesdays. This class helps calm the spirit with mindful meditation, breathing techniques, balancing strategies and strengthening poses.

Sue Lovett, ERYT, a licensed massage therapist, will use crystal bowl sound therapy both in Mindful Yoga, from 9 to 10:15 a.m. Tuesdays and in Restorative Yoga, from 6 to 7:15 p.m. on the third Friday of each month, beginning November 21. The vibration of the crystal bowls helps release energy that gets stuck in the body’s cells to return it to a natural state of harmony, promoting a sense of well-being, relaxation and better sleep.

Cost: Classes are $15, a 10-class discount is available. Location: 3372 Woods Ridge Cir., Ste. 102. To register for Chair Yoga, call 239-280-9095 or email [email protected].
