Freedom Through Self-Awareness

WOODBURY — A free meditation program, “Freedom Through Self-Awareness: Yogic Practices for De-Programming,” will be hosted by Woodbury Yoga Center on Sunday, October 2.

Vincent D’Alessio, a WYC teacher and board member, will lead a discussion concerning how, through the practice of yoga, anyone can gain a new, freer and fresh perspective for living.  Free instruction in meditation will also be provided.

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 Brookfield YMCA.

Following Mr D’Alessio’s program there will be a silent group meditation and an informal tea reception.
