Yoga practice takes a new spin with bilingual classes that are broadcast virtually and in-person for patients at Alliance Medical Ministry (AMM) in Raleigh, NC. Our team of co-teachers Carolina Chavez and Howie Shareff has brought back weekly chair and standing yoga classes to our longstanding partner. Each Tuesday in February from 6:30-7:15 pm the duo has introduced and developed body and breath awareness through classic poses (Mountain, Warrior), as well as sequences to relax the shoulders and open the heart center.
Howie was introduced to AMM in 2013 by bilingual yoga instructor Elise Dorsett, who volunteered at the facility. Chair yoga was introduced for people to improve mobility, breathing and sense of community. Several teachers have taught there over the years, including Howie with his three page worksheet of yoga terms in Spanish. Now, Carolina Chavez has taken the lead. This is a natural progression as Carolina also teaches a weekly bilingual mat class for YCTY over Zoom.
