Palomas residents gain strength practicing the downward dog yoga pose.
by Helena Myers
Enthusiastic participants of a typical yoga class in Palomas.
About 2 months ago, I asked the Palomas health promoters if they would be interested in yoga classes. Of course, the answer was “yes.” And, they agreed that the class could involve more participants than just our small Border Partners’ staff.
Alex Mueller is a yoga master who lives in Columbus, NM. He contributes his talent and dedication to yoga classes there. Now, however, he is also going once a week to Palomas. He leads classes for Border Partners’ staff as well as other interested drop ins from the community. Juan Rascon, our translator, also participates in the class and translates for Alex.
Yoga’s health benefits
One evening a week in Palomas Alex gives classes to another citizen group. We all thank Alex for sharing his gift. Yoga keeps our bodies supple and stronger. This class series is helping people of all ages in these two border communities.
