Palmetto Bay Events

Last Monday we honored all who have served our country, thanks to the volunteers in Palmetto Bay our veterans can enjoy free yoga class.

 

The effects of an overseas deployment can often last for years. Soldiers often have unwelcome thoughts, emotions and memories. Yoga techniques can be used to recall whole, healthy and intact memories that have not been touched by trauma.

 

This class focuses on learning skills proved to help you connect to the present—leaving anxiety behind while learning to feel safe and in control. By lowering your hyper-vigilance and your reaction to noise and stress, you will sleep better and have more control over your emotions. For active, inactive and retired military members and their families. Free.

 On August 4, we celebrated with the Back to School Carnival at The Palmetto Bay Park, which was sponsored by Gus Machado Ford.

The kids had so much fun with all the rides, also families got a free back pack with school supplies.
