SE*ED: Yoga for all ages and abilities

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.
Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC Communications and Development, 641-236-2593, by Thursday before the program. If you are a person with a disability who requires special assistance, please call 641-236-2593. For more information about upcoming speakers please check GRMC’s website at www.grmc.us.
