Senior Yoga WI/SP 24 (55+) - Senior Yoga SP 24 (S2) Studies have shown the positive benefits of yoga for all ages. Yoga involves linking the mind, body, and breath. You do not have to be flexible or fit to start practicing yoga. Specifically designed for older adults, Beginner Yoga for Seniors, will teach you breathing techniques to calm the mind and/or energize the body. You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in. By paying attention to your body, you will learn to be more present and mindful. This is a mat yoga class. You need to be able to get down to the floor and back up again. If that is a problem, consider Chair Yoga. It has the same benefits.Instructor: Deborah Forsblom, RYT 500, Certified Chair Yoga, Certified Trauma Sensitive Yogaforsblombd@gmail.com; (614) 253-2292Deborah has been teaching yoga for more than eight years.

Senior Yoga WI/SP 24 (55+) - Senior Yoga SP 24 (S2) Studies have shown the positive benefits of yoga for all ages. Yoga involves linking the mind, body, and breath. You do not have to be flexible or fit to start practicing yoga. Specifically designed for older adults, Beginner Yoga for Seniors, will teach you breathing techniques to calm the mind and/or energize the body. You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in. By paying attention to your body, you will learn to be more present and mindful. This is a mat yoga class. You need to be able to get down to the floor and back up again. If that is a problem, consider Chair Yoga. It has the same benefits.Instructor: Deborah Forsblom, RYT 500, Certified Chair Yoga, Certified Trauma Sensitive Yogaforsblombd@gmail.com; (614) 253-2292Deborah has been teaching yoga for more than eight years.

Senior Yoga WI/SP 24 (55+) - Senior Yoga SP 24 (S2) Studies have shown the positive benefits of yoga for all ages. Yoga involves linking the mind, body, and breath. You do not have to be flexible or fit to start practicing yoga. Specifically designed for older adults, Beginner Yoga for Seniors, will teach you breathing techniques to calm the mind and/or energize the body. You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in. By paying attention to your body, you will learn to be more present and mindful. This is a mat yoga class. You need to be able to get down to the floor and back up again. If that is a problem, consider Chair Yoga. It has the same benefits.Instructor: Deborah Forsblom, RYT 500, Certified Chair Yoga, Certified Trauma Sensitive Yogaforsblombd@gmail.com; (614) 253-2292Deborah has been teaching yoga for more than eight years.

Senior Yoga WI/SP 24 (55+) - Senior Yoga SP 24 (S2) Studies have shown the positive benefits of yoga for all ages. Yoga involves linking the mind, body, and breath. You do not have to be flexible or fit to start practicing yoga. Specifically designed for older adults, Beginner Yoga for Seniors, will teach you breathing techniques to calm the mind and/or energize the body. You will learn various poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles. The number one rule is that you do not do anything that hurts. This is not a gym workout. It is a body/mind work in. By paying attention to your body, you will learn to be more present and mindful. This is a mat yoga class. You need to be able to get down to the floor and back up again. If that is a problem, consider Chair Yoga. It has the same benefits.Instructor: Deborah Forsblom, RYT 500, Certified Chair Yoga, Certified Trauma Sensitive Yogaforsblombd@gmail.com; (614) 253-2292Deborah has been teaching yoga for more than eight years.

You will also learn the history of falconry, its origins, and the importance raptors (hawks, eagles, owls and falcons) play in the earth’s ecosystems including Bexley’s Jeffrey Woods and urban arboretum. (A few participants over the age of 9 will be selected at random through a drawing for the rare opportunity of having a raptor fly to their glove.)Valentine's Woodland Walk (Feb. 10)Instructor: Tom KirkerThe woodland is slowly waking to the signs of spring, and love is in the air. Sparrows, finches, cardinals and starlings can be heard singing on sunny days. Owls and skunks are mating, and other critters are repairing nests and dens. February is also the snowiest month of the year, so participants will look for animal tracks and learn how woodland animals make adaptations to survive cold winter weather. We will also have some nuts to throw out to woodland critters as a special Valentine’s treat. Bundle up!Ohio Wildlife Presentation & Rescue (Mar. 9)Instructor: Ohio Wildlife Center EducatorPlease join an instructor from Ohio Wildlife Center's Education Department along with a few of their resident animal ambassadors for an informative and fun presentation and history of some of Ohio’s native wildlife - along with inspirational stories of animal rescues.
