YOGA IN CUSHMAN PARK will be guided by certified yoga instructor David Trauterman. David’s teaching style is peaceful, heartfelt, and joyful. He lovingly incorporates Ananda and Hatha Yoga, enriching his classes with positive affirmations, extended posture holds, meditation, breathwork, and chanting. This approach creates a vibrant, uplifting wellness journey suitable for everyone, no matter their level.

QIGONG IN CUSHMAN PARK instructor Cristina Corrieri rediscovered a passion for mindful movement while struggling with health issues in her early 30s. Her daily Qigong practice reconnected her with her body and guided her toward restoring balance and well-being. This journey inspired her to become certified to teach both Qigong and Yoga, helping others rediscover their inner peace and healing through gentle, mindful movement practices.

Attendees to the classes should bring a mat and water for Yoga and Qigong.
