Wild Unity is a nonprofit organization offering Yoga to residents of Junction City and other cities ranging from Salina to Topeka. Every Saturday from 9 - 10 a.m. participants can meet at 1440 Pearl Drive at Valley View Estates.
Charmion Harris founded Wild Unity following the COVID 19 pandemic after closing an earlier YOGA studio that was doing well until the pandemic hit. Yoga works to balance the mind, body and soul. She noted that it needs to be accessible to people from all backgrounds.
So far about 200 people have participated in the program with an average of about 10 attending the weekly classes.
There have been opportunities for sound therapy through the program to help address healing of the body, brain and the electromagnetic field around the body when it sustains kinks.
Laurie McCallister is a board member for Wild Unity. She noted that there are focus areas for classes including calm, wild, strong and well. Those four types of classes are not normally offered in a regular studio class.
McCallister said that there is a connection to your inner self, other sense of calmness and a sense of peace.
You can register online at www.wildunityks.org or attend the Saturday classes. They are also partnering with Junction City Parks and Recreation to offer the classes on Saturdays across the city from June 1 - Aug. 17.
The Saturday classes this summer will begin June 1 and June 8 in Heritage Park. In the event of inclement weather they will be held indoors at 1440 Pearl Drive.
