YOUnity Yoga Opens Downtown Milford

YOUnity Yoga will be opening Downtown Milford on Mar. 16 atop the Alfonso and will have an array of trainings for different interests.

From YOUnity Yoga: What does wellness mean in your life? Does it mean health? Strength or stress reduction? I was not sure many years ago. I am sure now. Wellness to me means the ability of the body and mind to cope. To do that one must be resilient in body, mind and spirit.

It seems so recent to me that I was unable to walk and had difficulty reading or even talking.(6 years ago) I could not work, drive or even do simple math. This month, my wife Barbara and I are opening a wellness center right in downtown Milford atop the Afonso building at 189 Main St. I had been sick for years with Chronic Lyme Disease (my wife Barbara as well). That story, if you would like, I will share with you another time. What I would like to share is what helped. What gave me abilities? What helped me persevere in my battle? The Doctors were there, but it was me that allowed them to do the work of healing.

I was one of the lucky ones. I had faith and I had tools. The faith I will let others impart to you. The tools we can share. You see I had training in Tai Chi, Yoga, meditation, massage and other practices. I firmly believe that without these and support I would not be here today to share with you. Those practices helped my wife and I open our first wellness center in Uxbridge, MA. Those same practices helped me be resolute in the face of something I had never met before. I came to be more of a believer than I thought I ever could.
