Winter Yoga Is Back For Somerset County Residents

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Registration is now open for Somerset County Park Commission Recreation Department's winter session of Classic Hatha Yoga.

Classes are available for both beginners and advanced students. The low-impact program will introduce adults to the healthful benefits of Yoga and improve on existing skills for those who previously participated.

The 10-week evening program will be held on Wednesdays beginning Jan. 10 at Park Commission Headquarters at North Branch Park, 355 Milltown Road in Bridgewater.

The Beginner Session will run from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. with the Advanced Session running from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Fee for the beginner session is $80 and fee for the advanced beginner session is $100.

Hatha Yoga is a slow-paced stretching exercise combined with simple breathing exercises and seated meditation. It is a good opportunity to learn basic poses, relaxation techniques and become comfortable with yoga.

Participants are requested to wear comfortable clothing and bring a Yoga mat. Mats will be available for purchase at the first session for a fee of $25.

Preregistration is required and forms and information may be obtained by calling 908-722-1200, ext. 226.
