Your Yoga is offering a women’s self-defense class “to be aware and keep yourself safer in public,” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., February 8, with a break for snacks and beverages. This course provides a comprehensive approach to safety training, including awareness and physical skills.

 

Participants will practice and train effective tactics that empower them in real-life situations. Role plays give the opportunity to recognize and respond to threatening behavior with strong, assertive body language and verbal self-defense skills.

 

Owner Cynthia Johannes-Beecher says, “We believe in the strength of women’s power. It is a woman’s right to go where she wants to go and do what she wants to do. We have the responsibility of protecting ourselves.”

 

Cost is $45. Location: 1900 Orange St., York. To sign up or for more information, call 717-586-6494, email [email protected] or visit YorkYourYoga.com.
