We are excited to announce that we will be holding an introduction to Pranayama breathing exercises on Monday, September 27th from 1pm to 2pm. This introductory group will deal with learning traditional breathing techniques.
In our respiration process, we breathe in or inhale oxygen into our body, going through our body systems in a form of energy to charge our different body parts. Then we exhale carbon dioxide and take away all toxic wastes from our body. Through the practice of Pranayama, the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is attained. Absorbing prana through breath control links our body, mind, and spirit.
If you’d like to attend this group, please drop-in on the scheduled date.
We are re-launching our knitting club this fall, starting on Saturday, September 25th at 1pm. Bring in your own projects, or come in to start a new one. If you don’t have a project of your own, there is no need to worry – we will provide you with materials to start your own project/learning.
