  • noon-1:00 PM- the MILL - Mini yoga session with Sabine, of NowYoga

We are delighted that Sabine Scholes, yoga teacher and co-owner of NowYoga will lead us in a presentation and mini yoga session. From the NowYoga website, "Sabine discovered yoga after the birth of her second child in 1999 and found it to be the perfect way to bring balance to the chaos inherent in life with a baby and toddler. She began practicing  in the Iyengar style, then spent years practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, and now practices primarily Vinyasa Flow yoga. Sabine completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2009 at the Charlottesville Yoga School and has been teaching Vinyasa classes ever since.  Her classes are infused with thoughtful, intelligent cues to alignment which are grounded in her study of biomechanics within her Masters Degree in Physical Therapy."

  • 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM, the MILL: “Cumulative Stress and Self-Care”, with Joyce Camden, LCSW, Employee Assistance Consultant

This workshop covers the degrees of stress which can impact people and ways to identify and reduce the impact of such stress.  Most Health Care Professionals have a moderate to high level of stress as usual elements in the work environment.   Personal life can also have events and waves of moderate to high stress levels.  And as we have all recently experienced, there can be community based traumas and stressful events which impact us in unexpected ways.  Independently or together those natural factors in life can accumulate and have heavy impact.  There are many ways to expand awareness of stress and how it can become symptomatic.  There are also on-going practices which can help heal, restore, and prevent stress from reaching a point of negatively effecting ones experiences and relationships.  This workshop provides ways to address these issues with tools and practices that can serve you and your co-workers.
