Enjoy free Vinyasa Yoga Classes with Sarah Schaber, RYT-500 certified yoga instructor, on select Fridays throughout the summer. In this class we move through a flowing practice that connects the postures with the breath, and will be moderately paced with some more challenging poses than gentle flow. This can help to create energy, build strength, and promote flexibility and circulation throughout the body. We will be moving through various positioning (i.e. lying on our backs and abdomen, seated, hands and knees, and standing.) In order to ensure all participants' safety, we do ask that you are able to move and reposition independently. We will end the class with a deep relaxation to help release stress and tension and to integrate all the benefits of our yoga practice to leave you feeling calm and focused. Ages 18 please.Reminders:Please bring a yoga mat or towel from home. Advanced registration is encouraged as it guarantees your spot in the class. We do have a few walk-in spots in each class for those that prefer to just drop-in (first come, first serve as space permits). To register go online, visit us, or give us a call at 302-858-5518. If you are new to yoga or are looking for a more gentle and slow practice, please consider Gentle Flow with Sarah instead. Held on most 3rd and 4th Mondays of the month at 10:15 am. While vinyasa is more challenging than gentle flow, all skill levels are still welcome, and chairs are always available at the library. This library program is designed to supplement library materials and services that promote community-based health literacy and to foster fitness and healthy habits within individuals.
