The Pilates Advantage Offers Free Meditation Classes as Fundraiser for Wilton Food Pantry

Beginning Thursday April 30, The Pilates Advantage will offer complimentary Meditation Classes online every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. for stress relief during this difficult time. Certified Meditation Guide, Samantha Gosein of Conscious Unity, will guide this class of relaxation. Gosein is a certified Yoga Nidra Practitioner and specializes in intuitive spiritual counseling, sound healing, and has been teaching guided meditations for five years. Research has shown that a 30-minute session is the equivalent of three hours of deep sleep.

The Pilates Advantage has chosen to support the Wilton Food Pantry with this offering and asks that participants make a donation to the Wilton Food Pantry by mailing a check (in any amount) made out to ‘Wilton Community Assistance Fund’ (501c3) to the Wilton Police Department, 240 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897. Alternatively, please drop off a food donation outside of the Wilton Police Station in the designated area.

“Our mission at The Pilates Advantage is to support the community while offering classes to help center and align your mind and body through a holistic approach. With this offering we hope to raise funds for the Wilton Food Pantry and bring a sense of balance and peace while helping to alleviate feelings of anxiety at this unusual time,” says owner Mary Beth Young.

Participants can join the class on Zoom, every Thursday beginning April 30 through May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Link to the Zoom Meeting and use Meeting ID–899 3021 7521 and Password–061430.

The meditation class will last for approximately 40-50 minutes. Participants are asked to enter the zoom room a few minutes early. Please note the meeting will be locked five minutes after the scheduled time to honor the participants’ uninterrupted experience. Video participation is not required as this is a guided, sleep-based meditation. Laying down is recommended, with blankets, pillows, and comfortable clothing.
