Yoga Details

Tuesday and Thursdays
3:30

Tuesday sessions are Flow or Vinyasa yoga. The practitioners of this forms of yoga combine movement to breathe and flow from one pose to another in a sequence.

Here is a good description of what it is and benefits: http://www.flowhoodriver.com/benefits-of-yoga/

Thursday sessions are Yin yoga, a passive stretch. This kind of yoga is for those who have injuries, or are unsure of their skills or abilities in yoga. This type of yoga is good for restoring the body back to a healthy place after daily stress has taken a toll.

Amanda K. sold her paintings.

 Lynda sold Scentsy products.

 Glenda had green arrangements.

 Kathy A. had a table of quilted works.

 Katie sold all kinds of baking.

Jim G., a new resident had great wooden toys.

Santa and Mrs. Claus came. Some kids were glad to see him.

Some not so much.

Thanks to all who work hard to organize this. And thanks to Lynda L.and Debbie V. for their photos.
