This class targets the connective tissue (i.e. joints, bones, and ligaments). We remain in many of the poses longer than in a traditional yoga class which can be challenging for our body as well as our mind. The class may be slower paced, giving our mind time to quiet down, our breath to soften, and our connective tissue to be stimulated. We will experience the balance between movement and stillness. Tools such as blocks and blankets are encouraged for this class. This class is accessible for all levels. All you need is a yoga mat and a water bottle. Some yoga tools such as blocks, a blanket and a strap are encouraged. Classes are taught by Colleen Theobald RYT 500. For more info email Colleen at colleen1yoga@gmail.com.

The “centralized” wildlife portraits of Edward Aldrich provide a window into a world that most will never experience firsthand. He invites us to contemplate that world, acquainting ourselves with the wonder of the wild. “While I’m painting, I can recall the original experience that my composition is based on, letting that energy and my love for that animal hopefully inspire the viewer.” The show opens with an artist reception on October 15 from 5-7 pm and continues virtually, and through October 31.
