The stories kept coming.
One by one, Eileen Owoc and Dana Bardfeld would listen as clients spoke about lost jobs for themselves, family, neighbors and friends. The list kept growing. The pair, who own MindBody Connection in Cooper City, did more than lend a sympathetic ear, however.
'We thought, 'This is serious. What can we do to help?'' Bardfeld said.
Their solution: offer some downward dog mixed with hope at free classes they've titled Yoga for the Unemployed.
The series kicked off earlier this week. Sessions are open to the public from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Life coaching workshops at no charge are offered from 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesdays.
The series is slated to run through April 30 but might be continued, depending on turn out, Owoc said.
'This is our way of giving back to the community,' she said.
Owoc said she has been blessed with a steady, loyal clientele since opening MindBody Connection four years ago in the Timberlake Plaza at 8620 Griffin Rd. Bardfeld came aboard as a business partner 18 months ago.
