The Jewish Federation of Western CT invites the community to participate in a N’shima Therapy class on Monday, August 31, 10 am., at the Federation, 444 Main Street North in Southbury.

N’shima Therapy is a revolutionary therapy based on the well-known benefits of exercise and relaxation. N’shima, which means breathing in Hebrew, combines elements of stretching and strengthening along with specialized breathing techniques. Meditational movements are completed to the rhythm of relaxing background music.

N’shima includes delicate stretching and strengthening exercises, designed to increase mobility and balance for individuals of all ages. Each session leaves participants with immediate therapeutic effects, along with accumulative benefits that increase with time. Through N’shima, elderly and physically challenged individuals suffering from chronic conditions can gain comfort and increased activity levels. In addition, N’shima’s guided deep-breathing aids in the effective release of toxins, while simultaneously jump-starting the body’s natural pain-relieving capabilities.

N’shima Therapy was pioneered by Mordechai Genut, MS, L.Ac., is a licensed acupuncturist and a martial artist with a third degree master instructor level black-belt. He received his Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine at the Graduate Program of Oriental Medicine at Touro College.

Cost for the class is $10. For information or to register call (203) 267-3177.
