Yoga and Aging Online Series with Early Pioneers of Yoga
A special workshop series, sponsored by Massachusetts-based Artemis Yoga, brings together the combined experiences of four of the nation’s premier instructors, Patricia Walden, Karin Stephan, Roni Brissette and David Goldblatt to
Front to back: Roni Brissette, David Goldblatt, Karin Stephan, Rahel Wasserfall, Patricia Walden showcase the value of yoga in aging gracefully with health, strength and resilience. The kickoff discussion on January 23 is available for free download at YogaAndAging.com. The series continues through May with monthly, live workshops which are timely for both yoga novices as well as enthusiasts.
From February to May, these workshops focus on a different aspect of aging led by these instructors each of whom brings 30 to 45 years of experience and specific expertise to the program, including two who are the founders of the first BKS Iyengar Yoga Center in the East Coast. The workshop details are: You’re as Young as Your Spine!, February 27, with Walden; Form and Function: Our Hips as We Age, March 27, with Stephan; Moving from Stability, April 24, with Brissette; and Growing Old with Yoga, May 22, with Goldblatt.
As an increasing number of Americans enter their older years and live longer, more are seeking the tools and knowledge for healthy aging. Yoga reduces stress and improves strength and mobility allowing individuals to thrive as they age.
This program is an exciting opportunity to tap into the collective insight and wisdom of some of the early pioneers of yoga in the U.S. that embrace yoga as a foundation for healthy living, especially as they have grown older. With a focus on cultivating resilience in the body and in the mind, this program aims to humanize the relationship to getting older so that we can deconstruct our approach to aging and go forth knowing the answers are within us, in the wisdom of our body.
Cost: Panel discussion is free. Workshops and labs are $150 or $45 individually. For more information, visit YogaAndAging.com.

As we approach two full years of dealing with the pandemic, many have taken the opportunity to do some serious soul-searching, and many singles have come to the realization that they desire a deeply connected, conscious and loving relationship. To help in their quests, especially during special days this month that usually provide many face-to-face opportunities for potential romance that the health crisis has inhibited, NaturalAwakeningsSingles.com is having a Valentine’s Sale from February 10 through 15 with all subscriptions being offered at 25 percent off of regular prices during this period. The platform, a leading holistic, conscious dating site and a venue for eco-conscious and spiritual singles to meet each other, is not a superficial, “swipedy-swipe” app, but a truly “help singles meet their match” dating site. Each member exerts control over which profiles they view and with whom they choose to initiate contact. The detailed profiles allow members to read and learn about potential matches, which makes meeting someone compatible more probable. Further, its new video dating feature has been well received as it allows members to get to know each other before meeting in person.

Boston Peer-Run Mental Health Programs
The Department of Mental Health in Boston funds five peer-run (all staff identify as having lived experience) Recovery Learning Communities (RLC), one for each of their five catchment areas. Recovery Learning Communities are consumer-run networks of self-help/peer support, information and referral, advocacy and training activities. Training in recovery concepts and tools, advocacy forums and social and recreational events are all part of what goes on in a Recovery Learning Community.
The doors are open to all individuals with a serious mental illness. RLCs work collaboratively with mental health providers, other human service agencies and the community at large to forward the mission of community integration and respect for people with mental health conditions. RLC activities are designed to appeal to the range of people in the community, including people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds and people of all co-occurring disabilities. RLCs are for everyone.
One of its offerings is Opening Doors to the Arts where free and reduced priced tickets to theater, concerts and more are given. Relationships exist with Boston Symphony Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Philharmonic, Berklee School of Music, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Lyric Stage, Wheelock Family Theater and more. Learn more at OpeningDoorsToTheArts.org.
The Metro Boston RLC also operates a peer support line (also called a warmline) seven days a week from 4 to 7:45 p.m. A warmline is a compassionate listening and resource line staffed entirely by people with lived experience. The MBRLC peer support line is toll-free 1-877-733-7563 (877 PEER LNE). For a directory of other peer support lines visit Warmline.org.
