If you or someone you know is looking for a 4-week introduction to yoga, check out the two upcoming beginner series that Susan Polk and DeAnn Stanley are offering through Community Education!

Both series will meet on Sundays, from 1:45-3:00 p.m., at the studio at The Pots Place on the following dates:

• Class A (to read more and register):  Sept. 13, Sept. 20, Sept. 27, and Oct. 4.
• Class B (to read more and register):  Oct. 18, Oct. 25, Nov. 1, and Nov. 8.

The cost for each series is $48, with advance registration and payment primarily handled through the Community Education office (see links above).  However, students interested in Class A may also register at the first meeting on Sept. 13. Mats and other props are provided, although students are welcome to bring their own if they have them.

Former students report several benefits to beginning or restarting their yoga practice through these classes:

• Yoga has really helped my back.
• Yoga has reduced my aches and pains, especially in my neck and shoulders.
• I have been able to reduce or eliminate my medication.
• I sleep better.
• My flexibility and balance have improved.
• Focusing on my breath helps me be more calm.
