Breathing techniques can be learned every Monday in November

One direct benefit of America’s healthcare industry is we are living longer. But for diseases like COPD that can only be managed, living longer can be like a sentence.  That’s why older Americans in general need all the help they can get. A series of classes teaching healthful breathing techniques begins Monday, Nov. 6, at Nell’s Woodland in Ottawa. Breathing for Life is offered at 5 p.m. on Mondays in November through IVCC’s Continuing Education Center. You will learn helpful and healthful breathing techniques. Participants should wear comfortable, loose clothing and athletic shoes and bring a blanket and pillow. Register by calling the Continuing Education Center 224-0427 or online at ivcc dot edu. The fee is $39. The Nell’s Woodland Wellness Building is located at 2000 Alexis Ave.
