YOGA CAN BE A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL TOOL FOR IMPROVING ONE’S HEALTH. Depending on the type practiced, it can help improve cardiovascular health and increase strength and flexibility. Some of the most significant benefits of yoga are not just physical, but mental. Yoga can help manage stress, encourage relaxation, and process trauma.

As the owner of Mecca Wellness in Washington Township, OH educating people about the many ways yoga can improve their life is a calling. I fell in love with yoga when I was 16 and I continued this love by becoming a certified yoga instructor, and I am currently working on my yoga therapy certification.

Mecca Wellness targets practitioners with various needs and goals. Our intention is to meet people where they are. Offerings include prenatal yoga geared to trimester, yin yoga for improving range of motion, restorative yoga for stress relief and relaxation, meditation classes, and a variety of classes for MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE with different physical needs, including chair yoga for those with limited mobility and advanced yoga for those seeking a physical challenge. A staff of yoga instructors with different specialties makes these options possible.

I plan to offer a variety of short-term classes with special focuses, like gearing up for tennis or bicycling or dealing with arthritis.  I will also offer specialized group or private classes that specifically address the physical changes in the periods before, during, and after menopause.Women tend to not take the time to care for themselves. Carving out the time to care for physical and mental health with yoga can be an important part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Mecca Wellness offers both in-person and online class options to accommodate a range of needs.
