Yoga has a long history as an art of
relaxation and physical exercise. At Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s Senior
Education Program audiences will learn about yoga that is available for all
ages.
On August 24, Kim Wemer, RN, a yoga
instructor with the Paul W. Ahrens Fitness Center, will share the history of
yoga and the benefits one gains from practicing yoga. She will also lead the
group in a brief demonstration of “chair yoga,” a form of yoga that is easily
practiced by all age groups. Wemer teaches a regular class in Postels Community
Health Park.
The program is free and open to the public at
the Drake Community Library. Refreshments are served beginning at 9:30 a.m. and
the program begins at 10 a.m. No reservations are needed. Donations are
accepted.
Parking is available at the Drake Community
Library, along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian
Church parking lot.
