Join us in something BIG
Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a
leading nonprofit organization for youth development,
healthy living and social responsibility.
When you join the Y you belong to a place where:
• Parents find a safe, positive environment for children to
learn good values, social skills and behaviors.
• Families come together to have fun and spend quality time
with each other.
• Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they
can achieve.
• Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn
how to live healthier.
• Communities thrive because neighbors support each other
and give back.
• We all build relationships that further our sense of
belonging and purpose.
Membership For All
We believe everyone deserves a Y, so the Ridgewood YMCA
offers financial assistance to individuals and families
who might otherwise not be able to afford membership
or program fees. Please contact Megan Heller at ext 375
about financial assistance. It’s easy to apply and the Y does
everything it can to make the Y a place for all.
Volunteer, Donate, Advocate
As a nonprofit, the Y is able to strengthen community
because of the dedicated youth, families and individuals who
share our passion and make the Y part of their lives. They
give their time, resources and talents—every day and in
hundreds of ways—because they know they can improve the
lives of others while enhancing their own through the Y.
Well-being for many of our neighbors is all too frequently
limited by income or social isolation. In low-income
communities, the Y offers opportunities for every child,
teen or adult to achieve his or her potential regardless
of economic status. With your help, the Y can continue
to expand programming and outreach where it is needed
most. Please consider volunteering your time, making a
contribution, or sharing your story of the Y’s impact.

NEW! MINDFULNESS FOR DAILY LIVING
Mindfulness has been defined as intentionally paying attention to the
present moment with acceptance.
Because stress doesn’t go away, the practice of mindfulness involves
stress management, rather than stress elimination. Mindfulness can
create a world where we experience depth, meaning and connectedness.
We see joy and sadness more fully and settle more deeply into an
authentic way of being. Eventually, mindfulness is supposed to help us
spend less time worrying about the future or fretting about the past.
In this 7 week program, we will learn to listen better and step back to
consider more choices and make decisions more clearly and intentionally,
rather than reactively.
7 Week Course - April 10 to May 22
Thursdays - 7:00 to 8:30pm
The class fee is $150 for members and $175 for non-members

We are proud to be working with Kula for Karma to offer free yoga for
veterans at the Ridgewood YMCA. Yoga is an ancient practice now used
by soldiers and athletes to enhance focus and flexibility – and is often
used as a complement to medical treatment for those suffering with
post-traumatic stress (PTS).
In this class, we will explore basic poses to strengthen and balance the
body, therapeutic poses to restore the body, guided deep relaxation
and visualization techniques to manage injuries and trauma, breathing
techniques to calm and invigorate the body, manage mood, improve
sleep patterns, reduce stress, and meditation to focus and discipline the
mind.
No previous experience with yoga is necessary. Modifications of poses
are taught for any participants with specific physical challenges.
Tuesdays from 6:15-7:15pm. Contact Carol Livingstone at x330.
Participants are encouraged to sign up for more than one class per
session.
