Chair Yoga & Gentle Movement for Older Adults
Monday, Nov 20, 10:30am to 11:15am
Join Kim for a chair yoga and gentle movement class focusing on range of motion, breathing, and balance. Movements will be performed either sitting in a chair or standing.
Chair yoga is accessible to anyone of any age or ability. The practice begins with quiet stillness, focusing on breathing to increase respiratory function. Gentle movement while seated can increase range of motion and flexibility in all joints of the body and reduce arthritis pain. Standing postures are intended to strengthen muscles and bone, improve balance and decrease fear by gaining body awareness. In addition to the physical benefits, chair yoga can also calm the mind, reduce stress, and enhance compassion for ourselves and others, therefore enhancing quality of life!
Space is limited for this program; registration is required. To register please use the link below or call Lakeview Library at 608-246-4547. Registration opens November 6 at 10 AM, two weeks prior to program date.
Presented in partnership with NewBridge.

Kim Sprecher is a registered yoga teacher with over seven years of experience in helping older adults improve their quality of life.

Mindful Moments: a Drop-In Meditation Group
Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Monday, Nov 20, 12:30pm to 1:45pm
Mindfulness is the art of paying attention, of listening to your heart. Rather than worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, mindfulness can help you enjoy life more fully, effectively, and peacefully. Join us when you can to learn simple mindfulness and meditation techniques that can be incorporated into your everyday routine to reduce your stress and increase your well-being. Typically, each session will begin with a brief check-in, followed by a guided sitting meditation. Then Gloria will share reflections on some aspect of mindfulness. The group will discuss the topic and ask any questions about the practice. We will end with another sitting meditation. Experience in mindfulness or meditation is not necessary. This program is being offered both in-person and online through Zoom. If you would like to join by Zoom, please register below. Registration is not necessary for in-person attendance.
This program is part of the Live Well @ Your Library initiative.
