Yoga @ Your Library!
Yoga at your library allows you to experience all the benefits yoga and your library have to offer. Main Street Wellness Studio will lead an all-levels yoga class the first Thursday of every month from 11 a.m.-noon at Sycamore Plaza Library. No registration is required. You can bring your own mat, but if you don’t have one, the library will have a limited number available for use during the class.
Good Morning Yoga and Good Night Yoga
By Mariam Gates
The pose-by-pose wake-up story offers gentle stretches to start the day, and the pose-by-pose bedtime story helps practitioners wind down gently with quiet breathing. Lovely illustrations are easy for children to follow. DVDs are available of both titles as well.
Chair Yoga
By Kristin McGee
Gentle yoga poses and examples help anyone with a chair and the willingness to get started do chair yoga. So many people are stuck in chairs all day long, moving from cars to desk chairs to kitchen chairs to couches. Sneak some of these exercises into your daily sitting habit and you will start to feel better, sleep better, focus better. Learn to breath correctly, move on to stretches and chair poses. The book is fully illustrated with easy-to-follow instructions.
