Join us for a fall yoga series at the library! This is an all-levels, community-oriented yoga class – accessible to all with modifications to make things easier for those who need and options to make things more challenging for those who wish. Courtney Jarrell has 11 years of experience teaching yoga. She has certifications in Hatha Yoga and Prenatal Yoga, as well as a certification as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. This class will be offered on the 1st Thursday of the month from 4:30-5:30. No registration is required, but participants should bring a mat. There will be a very limited number of yoga mats available for those who need one. This program is financially supported by the Friends of Fairview Library |
