Regular yoga is so intimidating—try chair yoga!

Start your week well with "choga" fun and relaxation with certified instructor Rebecca Cox of Good Karma Yoga.

Now you can enjoy a gentler yoga workout without becoming an arm-and-leg pretzel. This low-impact version is performed with a chair for support, making it perfect for a beginner or someone with difficulty balancing. Some individuals in wheelchairs may also be able to participate; please consult your doctor first if you have medical questions or concerns.

For ages 16 and up. Just drop in, but remember to wear comfortable clothing!

Reading can be a PAWsitive experience...

Studies show that children who read aloud on a regular basis can achieve drastic improvements in their reading skills! And animals provide a safe, encouraging presence for new and struggling readers. Join trainer Christy Almond and a therapy dog from Pawsibilities Unleashed as he or she patiently listens to you read without teasing, laughing, or judging.

Sharing books with furry supporters helps kids to:

  • Sustain concentration and focus
  • Increase reading comprehension
  • Expand their use of vocabulary and language
  • Boost confidence and pride in their reading skills
  • Cultivate a higher motivation for reading and learning
  • Foster positive social interactions
  • Feel more comfortable about school and learning
  • Enjoy the experience of reading

Oh, and the dogs enjoy it, too!

Psst... Join us on the 4th Monday of the month and prepare to read for about 10 minutes. A time slot sheet will be available 30 minutes before the program begins.
