Yoga for Wisdom Warriors
YOGA FOR WISDOM WARRIORS
A Yoga Class at
The Sanctuary Wellness Center
208 N. Buckmarsh Street,
Berryville, VA 22611
This class is designed for people in their wisdom years. You can consider yourself in your wisdom years if you are a little creaky around the joints, move a little slower than you used to, or have body parts that have been replaced or that have limitations from mileage or injuries. You are also in your wisdom years if you appreciate the rewards that come from honoring your inner wisdom over striving for an artificial ideal of perfection.
Yoga for Wisdom Warriors will be taught in a gentle, beginner hatha yoga style. That means it will be an alignment-based, heart-centered class with plenty of modifications. Each student will be encouraged to find the pose that’s optimal for them. There will be time for stillness, breathwork, warm-ups, gentle yoga postures, and rest and relaxation.
Classes will be held on Tuesday afternoons, 1:30 – 3:00 pm at The Sanctuary Wellness Center.
The summer session will begin on June 23. Classes are scheduled every other week for 6 weeks: June 23, July 07, July 21, August 04, August 18, and September 01.
The investment for each 90-minute class is $30. Students can sign up for all six classes for $150, a savings of $30 — equivalent to one free class!
The autumn schedule will be released in August. For more information, you can contact Anita at: Anita@BlissZoneEnergyMedicine.com
Meet Your Teacher
Anita L. Schill
PhD, RYT 500, C-IAYT, EEM-AP
Dr. Anita Schill is passionate about the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and societies. This passion has grown in many directions over her years. At The Sanctuary Wellness Center, she offers a special yoga class for people in their wisdom years.
Who are people in their wisdom years? They are women and men who may be a little creaky around the joints, move a little slower, and may have body parts that have been replaced or that have limitations from mileage or injuries. It also includes people who appreciate the rewards that come from honoring inner wisdom over striving for an artificial ideal of perfection.
This includes Anita. Over the past 10 years she has had two total hip replacements, and two shoulder dislocations. To heal from each, she turned to traditional physical therapy and then yoga, yoga therapy, and energy medicine. She made a complete recovery each time and regained full movement in each limb. She was even able to avoid shoulder surgery!
Anita has been a yoga practitioner since the 1990s. At first, she was motivated by her desire to restore flexibility for competitive ballroom dancing. But she was captivated by the deeper practice of yoga and how it began to shift her world view. How it began to help her navigate life challenges. How it became a safe place to explore her inner landscape. She was hooked by the gentle embrace of the yogic path.
She became a yoga teacher in 2011. That was just the beginning. She continued her studies and has accumulated over 1500 hours of teacher training. She is a certified Ashaya Yoga® teacher, a certified Body Balance Yoga® therapist, and a certified Sacred Centers Chakra Healer. Anita is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance, and she is certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists
More recently, Anita has broadened her practice to include energy medicine. After four years of study and a rigorous examination process, she is a certified Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner. Anita offers private energy medicine sessions in Winchester, VA.
