State of Mind Yoga expands class schedule
State of Mind Yoga and Meditation Center in Grayslake has expanded their schedule and is now offering more classes. State of Mind Yoga (SOM), a boutique yoga studio, borders on edges of Grayslake/Gurnee/Gages Lake/Third Lake and is located in Graystone Manor at 34121 N US Route 45. SOM opened its doors in February of this year. The owner, Eileen Estrem, wanted her studio to offer classes that not only incorporated the physical practice of yoga, but also the opportunity for students to infuse more mindfulness in their lives through the practice of meditation. " When students come to our classes, the number one thing I hear is that they feel overwhelmed and stressed from the demands of work life, family life, social life; they feel pulled in many different directions. SOM provides tools that help them return to life balance and provides a safe, calming space to practice this."
Yoga comes in many shapes and forms, and this peaceful and serene studio has something to offer for all ages. For those new or returning to yoga, State of Mind Yoga offers a Foundations class that introduces the poses, breathing techniques and meditation. The Stretch and Restore as well as the Mellow Movement classes are also great places to start. Also offered is Hot Yoga, Strength Building Vinyasa Flow, Flexibility class, Chair Yoga, Qigong and it gets better…FREE Community Meditation every Sunday morning from 9:30-10:00. SOM also offer a variety of workshops each month, you'll want to check out their website for the most up-to-date information at www.stateofmindyoga.com
If you've never tried yoga, available to new students only, I suggest you take advantage of their " Taste of Yoga" package priced at 3 for $25.00. Try any three classes in a one-month period and decide for yourself which ones you like best. If you want to jump right in, there is a First Time New Student package, 9 classes for $99.00 (good for 6 months), a great way to help develop a habit and get in to a routine. SOM also offers a Senior Discount Package to those 65 and over; as well as a special rate for their Chair Yoga classes, being mindful of those that are on a restricted income.
