I run and host the following programs:
Tuesdays
Mindfulness Group
11am-noon EST
Practice tuning in to your body, breath, thoughts, and emotions to encourage health and wellbeing in all parts of your life. These sessions will begin with mindful walking, move to a few mindful moments to make us more comfortable for our sit, proceed to a different guided meditation each week, and then finish with mindful listening where participants share how practices are working for them inside and outside of our class time. *UCCC has a private YouTube account for participants to access recordings at any time you'd like. Mindfulness meditations are uploaded twice a month.*
Wednesdays
Chair Yoga
11am-noon EST
This chair yoga class will focus on increasing range of motion and mobility, encouraging circulation, and improving breathing mechanics to optimize physical and physiological health. This class will be done seated with a few standing postures holding the chair and include a balance of relaxation and strengthening exercises. Please have a belt/scarf/tie and pillow handy. **One recording a month of each yoga class is uploaded to UCCC's private YouTube account for participants to use on days that they cannot make class**

"Joining a yoga class wasn't something that I would have considered doing several months ago. Why? First, I'm a 60+, heavy set woman. Second, getting down to or up from floor level would be too difficult and painful given my size and knee/hip issues. And third, I couldn't see myself fitting in with young, trim, physically fit younger folks. What changed? I was introduced to the concept of 'chair' yoga and a wonderful instructor whose style I like. Kassandra is a very knowledgeable instructor. Her voice is soothing. She explains moves and poses in easy terms and supplements with physical demonstrations. She recognizes the diversity of the group and respects each individual's level of capability and progression timeline. I feel so good after 1-hour of deep breathing, stretching and muscle toning. Flexibility in my lower body as well as range of motion in my hips has improved. I'm also concentrating on my breathing outside of class to help get through stress or simply to relax to get a good night's sleep. I highly recommend 'chair' yoga à la Kassandra to anyone who is looking for a gentle start to a more active lifestyle."

"I have been practicing chair yoga with Kassandra for 4 weeks now. I feel stronger in my injured hip, my posture and wellbeing are much improved, and I have more energy. Kassandra is an excellent teacher"
Suzanne Karima
"Although I'm a very active person, I never spent time looking after myself physically. I really demonstrated to myself my years of self neglect after committing to and beginning chair yoga. Kassandra has slowly but steadily helped me gain better balance, become a bit more flexible, and stronger. It will take time to come back to the level I aspire to but little by little I am improving."
