May is commonly associated with Spring, growth and new beginnings. It is also when the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (N.C.C.C) recognizes Women’s Health Month.

In acknowledgement, The Family YMCA is offering a special Women’s Health Workshop 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 6 in the Main Studio at 1450 Iris St.

Desiree Cassell of Los Alamos will host the program and registration is open. Cassell said she is passionate about educating and supporting women throughout all phases of life.

Cassell has her doctorate of Physical Therapy and a bachelor’s degree in nutrition. Since her graduation in 2017, she now specializes in Women’s/Pelvic. Cassell and her local business “The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness” continues to be a valuable resource to the community by educating women on best postpartum practices, much of which she will share in this class.

Non-Y members will be asked to present a photo ID and sign a liability waiver before participating. Space is limited to 10 spots. Reserve a spot in the workshop online at www.laymca.org or call 505.662.3100. Ticket prices are $50-$75.
