PRAISE FOR WANDA’S CLASSES:

RPEN, known as the Retired Public Employees of Nevada, held our biennial convention for our State Officers & Delegates, September 16-19 at the J Resort in Reno and had around 80 members & guests there. Wanda La Russa, a certified Chair Yoga Instructor hosted 3 one hour chair yoga classes during workshops on Wednesday morning September 17 and at least half of our attendees participated in her classes, including me! We were not disappointed! She was gentle with us “older folks” and yet her class was quite a workout! Just what we needed as we mostly sat through the rest of our event! Everyone I spoke with thoroughly enjoyed her classes. I was so happy to meet her and her husband, Steven. They couldn’t have been nicer and if you’re considering joining a chair yoga class in Reno she’s the person to talk to! You won’t regret it…and when RPEN hosts our next convention in Northern Nevada 4 years from now (we’re going to Southern NV in 2027 so we won’t be back in Reno until 2029) we’ll definitely bring her back! Thanks Wanda (and Steve)!
