Breathe In, Breathe Out: Casper Connects for Wellness Wednesdays at the M
"A beautiful place to convene with friends."
When Elliott Ramage injured his foot last year, he began physical therapy at the Wind City clinic.
In his PT sessions he noticed some obvious crossovers with yoga...and he got an idea.
Ramage and Marissa Wooden, a physical therapist, hatched a plan to combine yoga and PT for a community series.
Each class focuses on a specific body part, starting from the ground up. They're on to hips this week.
This class is free and available to all. They are accepting donations.
The class runs over the lunch hour from 12:15 to 12:45.
Bring a mat and wear comfortable clothes. They do have a couple loaner mats, said Rammage.
It's located in "the M" building in downtown Casper. The one next to the "Eggbeater."
Ramage is leading the class and the physical therapists attend.
The class includes yoga, Qigong, breath work, and meditation.
"It's a nice union of Physical Therapy exercises shared in a mid-week indoor reset using a palette of wellness techniques. We want you to leave the amazing M space feeling energized and with some new skills you can do at home or anywhere."
Healing is about continuing to show up, says Ramage, so they are also providing a private online group for attendees with more exercises and inspiration to keep the education active.
The space offered by the McGinley's provides the perfect setting as the Labyrinth on the Platte River Trails (where they often gather in the summer) is currently under snow and ice.

"At The M Building we focus on the health of our patients, providing them a continuum of care. We are pleased to add this to the offerings in the building. Taking a moment to pause and reset can improve not only productivity, but your overall health" said Diane McKGinley, the owner and director of operations at the M.
