“Research demonstrates that yoga and massage have therapeutic benefits whether you are dealing with chronic pain or illness or trying to prevent them,” said English.  “Both provide excellent ways of managing stress which can take a toll on a human body.  The chair yoga I will be teaching can be done by anyone, any age or any stage of flexibility.”
Sue Lattin, NCMT, trained massage therapist who provides 15, 30 and 60 minute massages on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Grangeville Medical Clinic, by appointment, will also be providing free chair massages to interested women at this Thursday’s Ladies Night Out.  $10 discount coupons for an hour massage in Grangeville will also be given to anyone attending the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Boise Affiliate event.

All women are welcome to the event and all women can receive an exam, if interested.  Staff will also be available to schedule a mammogram during Women’s Health Day on the third Wednesday of the month in Grangeville or the fourth Wednesday of the month in Cottonwood. 
Free goody bags with a focus on items for relaxation, door prizes and healthy refreshments will also be available for all participants. Women who had their exams last year through the Komen grant are eligible again this year if their insurance or place of residence have not changed.

Yoga classes planned
“A lot of people think that yoga means being flexible enough to put your feet behind your head and touching your nose to your toes, but that is a misperception.  Yoga is about working with your body and doing only what is comfortable for you.  It’s not really about forcing your body to do something that’s not comfortable,” said Sue Lattin, Registered Yoga Teacher. “It is true that yoga can increase your flexibility, improve your posture and help relax your mind and body regardless of your gender, age or physical condition.”
The internet has a lot of information about yoga including the photo above.  Sue Lattin, CYT, will be leading a series of five yoga sessions on Wednesday evenings at the Cottonwood Community Center beginning April 20th.  No preregistration necessary.Lattin will be teaching a series of five Yoga classes on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. beginning April 20 and ending May 18.  Classes will be held in the Cottonwood Community Center.  They are open to the public and interested participants do not have to attend all sessions.  If there is sufficient interest the classes will resume in the fall.  No registration is necessary. 
Lattin completed a 280 hour program in Yoga Motion Teacher Training.  She has over 60 hours experience in teaching yoga. Her training in massage included courses in anatomy, physiology, ethics, trigger points, joint mobility, orthopedic assessments, remedial exercise, nutrition and kinesiology.  She currently teaches yoga in Grangeville.
