Apr 26, 2012

Living with a rheumatic disease can be challenging. Exercise if done properly, can help reduce some symptoms. We will focus on yoga and related interventions and explain  how they can optimize function, flexibility, strength, fitness, and other important health outcomes. Guests will also participate in a “chair-yoga” demonstration, learning how  simple and gentle yoga positions preformed while sitting can help alleviate muscle strain.

Date: April 26th 2012, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Location: YWCA Montreal - 1355 Rene-Levesque BLVD West
