Yoga and Meditation Center Now Open in Gurnee/Grayslake Area
State of Mind Yoga & Meditation Center, located at 34121 N Route 45 in Grayslake/Gurnee area has now opened. This boutique studio offers a holistic approach of connectivity to the Mind, Body and Soul through the offering of a blend of calming and empowering movement classes and meditation for every age group and ability. For a limited time, State of Mind is offering new students their first class free until February 28, 2018. " This gives the opportunity for anyone who is interested in learning more about the physical practice of yoga or those who are curious about how to start a meditation practice, a place to do so with the guidance of experienced instructors" shares Eileen Estrem, owner of State of Mind.
State of Mind focuses on an integrative approach of conscious movement and breath giving you permission to release old patterns and experience the vitality that comes from living life in balance. In addition to increase flexibility and muscle strength, yoga and meditation also may help lower blood pressure, improve respiration, maintain a balanced metabolism, help with weight reduction, improve concentration and self-awareness, and reduce stress.
"We offer classes for every age group and ability, at SOM we want to make yoga accessible to everyone". The Chair yoga class is fantastic for those that have difficulty getting up and down from the floor and want to maintain activity in their lives. We offer two classes, one to build upper body strength and the other to focus on balance. The Foundations class is for anyone wanting to start and learn more about the poses, as well as those needing a refresher as they return to yoga. For the continuing student we offer an Intermediate class which moves at a faster pace. Our Stretch and Restore class is for anyone who wants to release stress and just chill out. We offer other classes; Yin, Warm Progressive Flow and Kripalu Yoga."
What makes State of Mind unique from other area studios is their focus on meditation. Throughout the week they have designated 'sit' times where their trained instructors lead and guide you through meditation. One important mission at State of Mind is to get people meditating together to create a conscious shift in the world, enabling more understanding and acceptance of ourself and each other. Meditation is free for those that purchase and hold a current class package, or $5.00 per class without a class package.
State of Mind Yoga & Meditation Center is located on Route 45 between Washington St. and Gages Lake Rd in Graystone Manor Shopping Center in Grayslake. For more information please visit their website at www.stateofmindyoga.com or contact them at: stateofmindyoga@gmail.com or 847-752-8839.
