The stretching is gentle and the benefits are immeasurable. This semester the class has expanded to seven sessions. The first meeting will orient beginners and returning students, and all other sessions will consist of yoga for everyone. Students will need to bring their own mat. Other equipment is supplied. There will be one class starting on September 6 and another on October 24. Both run on Thursdays and cost only $40.

We have the keyboards for learning. Just bring your enthusiasm. This class starts on September 11 and costs $55.

Debby will address fabric choices and color combinations as students produce a wonderful sampler quilt. The class will also visit a local quilting shop.
