This yoga practice incorporates both seated and standing poses using a chair for support. Students will be guided through a series of stretches and postures that are modified to accommodate those with limited mobility and difficulty balancing. We work on building strength, flexibility, and balance as we explore the many aspects of yoga. An additional benefit of yoga is reduced stress and an ability to calm the mind using breathing and meditation techniques. Each class concludes with a final relaxation or guided meditation.

Please note:
* Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement.
* Equipment/props are provided, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them.
* It is recommended not to eat a meal 1 hour prior to class.

This yoga series is happening thanks to a Mid-Hudson Library System Mini-Grant.

Monday, October 2, 2017 @ 4:30pm-5:30pm: Pipette Art! - Pipette art teaches children how to use an essential science tool and make paintings with water colors. Children will learn how to handle different size pipettes and make beautiful drawings out of it!

Monday, October 16, 2017 @ 4:30pm-5:30pm: Marble Milk Paper - This will teach the children about how different amounts of calcium effect saturation rate. Using soap and food coloring they will create a paint pattern in the milk and then transfer their print onto water color paper.

Using the basic qualities of the planets in the solar system the children will create their own aliens and monsters that will survive on their chosen planet.

Monday, November 13, 2017 @ 4:30pm-5:30pm: Candy Cells - Using various forms of candy the kids will learn about the different cell structures and create their own cells out of the candy. This is a fun and yummy treat for the kids.
