Renew Your Commitment To Good Health In 2026 With Chair Yoga!

Chair Yoga Final Draft 2026 Promo.png

The Schultz Foundation for Advancing Counseling cordially invites you to join a special presentation on finding balance and wellbeing with Dr. Maricruz Ramos, LCPC, RYT 200. Dr. Ramos will guide participants through a gentle chair yoga session designed to promote relaxation and stress relief on FRIDAY, MARCH 20, at 12:00 PM / central time.

 

Scientific research demonstrates that just a few minutes of yoga can significantly decrease cortisol production, the stress hormone responsible for reduced energy levels and increased anxiety, while simultaneously improving flexibility, balance, and overall wellbeing—making it the perfect way to renew your commitment to improved health and wellbeing!

 

This inclusive session welcomes participants of all ages and experience levels, allowing you to join comfortably from your home or office over the lunch hour.  Attendees are invited to make a voluntary donation to support counseling resources throughout Illinois.
