Kripalu (Compassionate) Yoga is an integrated practice that revitalizes the body, calms the mind and deepens self-awareness. Kripalu brings body, mind and spirit into a state of harmony and balance. It allows you to choose the level of physical intensity right for you. Instead of encouraging you to judge your performance today against yesterday, or compare your stretch with that of your classmates, Kripalu Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body and honor its needs. Self observation without judgment is its motto. It encourages compassion for yourself and others. The essence of Kripalu Yoga is learning how to be fully present in the moment-by-moment experience of life. 

Kripalu trained instructor, Judy McClain, will teach this class to all skill levels on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. Debra Marshall, Certified Yoga instructor, will be teach this class on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. No previous yoga experience required.

Amazing local artist, Joseph Wennberg, will guide members through an artistic voyage. Joe hopes to have the members develop a greater appreciation of self and confidence to accomplish what, perhaps, may seem too esoteric. This will be accomplished with the use of canvas, primary colors, two brushes, and a palate knife. With these tools you will begin to apply paint in a random process, although under the control of things on your mind. Halfway through the process, members will stop and reflect on their uncompleted work for a brief discussion before they proceed to completion. Sculpting will be added with palet knife, as well as additional colors and brush work by Joe if necessary. When completed the original art will be signed by creator and then examined under a magnifying glass.

Join us for this NEW Tuesday meditation and yoga class with Certified Yoga Instructor Sally DePamphilis!

Yoga has worked its magic in Sally's life physically and spiritually through one of her very first yoga instructors.  She was such an inspiring teacher that opened that “yoga curiosity window” which showed Sally an insatiable way to yoga.

Her daily yoga practice inspires her to be present to every wakening moment with love and appreciation. The peacefulness and calmness that she strives for in practice guides her through the daily ups and downs of life.

In 2014, Sally dove head first into the Yoga Teacher Training program and never looked back.  Then, in 2017, she took a Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course and became certified to teach yin yoga.  She has participated in many yoga workshops throughout the states and still continues to do so.

She has taught at numerous yoga studios in the area since then and is currently teaching yoga at Mending Minds Healing Hearts in Linwood, NJ and at Greate Bay Racquet and Fitness Club in Somers Point, NJ.

This free, two-hour workshop will cover the latest information on precision medicine. Laina Lusk, Genetic Counselor at AtlantiCare, will also discuss biomarker testing, using biomarkers to find the best treatment for you, types of targeted therapies, and genetic testing for inheritable cancers. We hope to answer many of your questions about precision medicine to help you (or your loved one) better understand what precision medicine is.

Laina is a board-certified genetic counselor and is licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She received her BS in neuroscience from Bucknell University in 2013 and her MMSc in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling from Emory University in 2018. She is a member of the National Society of Genetic Counselors and the Human Genetics Association of New Jersey.

As AtlantiCare’s genetic counselor, Laina works closely with our physicians and nurses to identify patients that could benefit from genetic testing and help coordinate their care. She reviews patients’ personal and family history of cancer, determines appropriate genetic testing, collects samples, and explains the testing and results in a way that patients can understand. She also helps to coordinate follow up care for patients that are found to have a hereditary cancer syndrome.

Prior to working at AtlantiCare, she worked in research for 5 years at Geisinger. Her research has been published several times in peer-reviewed journals, including a GeneReview article on Duplication 15q syndrome. She continues to be involved in research and is the genetic counselor for AtlantiCare’s MyCode project. She enjoys being involved in the community, and can be seen giving talks at local breast cancer support groups, Gilda’s Club South Jersey meetings, and high school classrooms.
