Do you or someone you know suffer from chronic illness and want relief?  Please join us with massage therapist and yoga instructor, Brita Light, R.N. This six week series will begin  Wednesday, September 12 to October 24, (no class 10/10) at 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Picker Family Resource Center.  Come and learn breathing techniques for relaxation, gentle stretching while seated and group discussion about living with chronic pain.

Britta Light’s journey led her to Maine in 1975 where she completed her RN degree in 1980. After many years experience working in hospitals, physician’s offices and clinics, she felt drawn to a more holistic approach in her work. Brita studied at  Downeast School of Massage, completed certification as a licensed Massage Therapist and  opened a practice for therapeutic massage in Camden in 1988. After taking her first yoga class, Brita felt mentally and physically transformed by the experience.  This brought her to yoga training through the “White Lotus Foundation” in Santa Barbara, CA. followed by level I and II training in “Yoga of the Heart” by Dr. Dean Ornish of Harvard University.

 Britta has years of experience teaching yoga classes for those with heart disease, cancer, chronic pain, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, asthma and depression. Please come and join her to discover the amazing and fascinating health giving aspects of yoga.  For more information or to register, call 596-8950, space is limited.

 The Picker Family Resource Center is located between the Women's Health Center and Urology Building on the Pen Bay Medical Center campus, 3 Glen Cove Drive, off Route 1 in Rockport.
