Are you originally from Melrose, tell us a little bit about your hometown and what it was like? I was born in Elrosa, attended grade school at Sts Peter and Paul Parochial school in Elrosa through 7th grade, then Belgrade high school! So I didn’t move too far. I grew up on a farm with 4 siblings and wonderful parents. We worked hard and played hard! I met the life of my life at Belgrade high school and we were able to spend 50 years of marriage together. We moved to Melrose in May, 1979 - 45 years ago. How long have you been doing yoga? My children gave me a gift certificate for Yoga Melrose for Christmas last year along with a great yoga mat and all the necessary equipment. So my lifelong friend from Belgrade and I began with the beginner class and have continued to do gentle yoga each week since then. 4 weeks ● 4-4:45PM ● 45 minutes ● $40 ● Minimum 6 Secure registration with payment by the 1st of each month September 2024-May 2025 with Anne: 320-290-3312 .

Somatic Reset - Self Healing through Gentle Movement and Self-Massage Techniques is a specialty class Paula will be leading once a month. It might be your next favorite class so come check it out! Incorporating Somatic movement techniques with the use of various therapy balls, we will explore, release and balance not only the muscular and connective tissue systems of the body, but also the nervous system. Somatics uses gentle contract/release movements to dissolve physical tension as well as emotions held in the body. Combining this practice with tools and techniques inspired by Jill Miller’s Roll Model/Body by Breath programs, we’ll explore vagus nerve toning (our primary regulator in the fight/flight vs. rest/digest response), breathwork, self-massage, gentle movement and stillness for a whole body reset, from the inside out.
