The Great Escape: Generations Yoga
Take a stress break with a yoga class or massage therapy treatment at this Wilmette center.
Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it. Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier. Maybe a whole lot easier.
This week's Great Escape is from Generations Yoga, which was founded by Eric Berliner in 2007. A series of life-changing events led him from a successful career in international banking to yoga practice and teaching, and he opened the center with the intention of helping and healing others as well.
Yoga classes are available for students at all skill levels, from novice to advanced. For those who want to take their practice to the next level, the center also offers programs for teachers in training.
Short-term, specialty workshops include Yoga for Golfers and Trigger Point Techniques, and guest teachers are often invited in from around the U.S. to lead seminars.
