Services
Pride Clinic is Transitioning
As part of MetroHealth’s broader strategy to strengthen its Pride Network, MetroHealth will transition away from providing part-time, on-site clinical services at LGBT Center Cleveland. This allows MetroHealth to expand services across its Pride Network, which includes a new Pride Clinic at the West Park Health Center in addition to the existing clinics in Brooklyn, Brecksville and Cleveland Heights. Learn more about this transition (link).

Yoga for All Bodies
If you can sit or lay down and breathe, then you can practice Yoga. Movement is only one part of this spiritual discipline. Pranayama, or Yogic breath work, is a wonderful tool to improve focus and prepare the body + mind for Meditation. Yoga, breathwork, and meditation are powerful methods of relieving stress and anxiety, increasing mental clarity, and promoting inner peace.
Join Lee Devi (E-RYT 200, RYT 500) for this class which blends all three and is tailored to the specific needs of whoever shows up.
