Around the Curves Yoga

A new offering at East Bank Yoga (8th & Railroad, Suite 220) is Around the Curves Yoga. The hour long class on Fridays at 5 pm is designed for a larger person who might not have considered yoga before.
Led by Dee DiMemmo, a 25 year practitioner of yoga, the class features poses to gently stretch muscles and increase flexibility. "If you are larger, it's intimidating walking into a class with smaller, more flexible folks", DiMemmo states. "It can cause a lot of people to give up or never come back."
Around the Curves offers a "warm, friendly environment to learn the asanas or poses properly". The class starts with warm ups and then moves into that night's flow. Each pose builds on the previous one, to allow students to learn proper alignment and feel comfortable in the pose. The hour long class concludes with a guided meditation.
Classes are $9 for a drop in, with discounted pricing for a punch card. There also are additional discounts for senior citizens, employees of 8th & Railroad and members of the Harrisburg Explorer PTO. For additional information email deelightfulgreen@gmail.com
