Moving Beyond Hatred And Revenge

WOODBURY — A free program, “A Day of Tragedy: Moving Beyond Egoic Cycles of Hatred and Revenge,” will be hosted by Woodbury Yoga Center (WYC) on Sunday, September 4. The program will begin at 6:45 pm.

All are welcome to join Vincent D’Alessio, a teacher and board member, for discussing how a daily meditation practice can lead anyone to a place where they can face tragedies with courage and grace.

Mr D’Alessio was certified as a yoga instructor in 1994 by Sivananda and has continued his yoga training in various disciplines including Ashtanga yoga with Richard Freeman, Anusara yoga with Tod Norian, body-mind connection with Donah Farhi, Viniyoga with Grary Kraftsow, and restorative yoga with Judith Lassiter.

He will soon be certified at the 500-hour level through The Yoga Alliance from his current Advanced Teacher Training at Kripalu. He began teaching at WYC in 1995 and has also taught classes for the Southbury Seniors Program, National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, and the Brookfield YMCA.

Following the presentation there will be a silent group meditation (free instruction is available) and then an informal tea reception to close the evening.

Woodbury Yoga Center, at 122 West Side Road, can be reached by calling 203-263-2254.
