Join us at Patrick Beaver Memorial Library on Thursday, August 22, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. to learn how to maintain long-term healthy living.  This workshop, The 100 Year Old Gardener, will focus on how to foster longevity of the body and mind in and outside of the garden.  This talk will delve into what science can teach us about maintaining our independence as we age, especially out of doors, so that we can keep doing the things that we love. This talk is presented in collaboration with Catawba County Cooperative Extension Center.

Join Yoga Instructor Ms. Pradnya (aka Swati) at Patrick Beaver Memorial Library for free Karma Yoga classes every Wednesday at 6:00 pm. Prior yoga experience is not necessary and classes can be joined at any time.  Simple, safe and practical yoga stretches and movements are taught to help the Karma yogis relax as well as strengthen the mind-body-spirit. Pradnya offers modifications to people with little to no mobility. The class puts emphasis on mindfulness and universal meditation based on the concept of good 'Karma' (deeds). This class is NOT a substitute for any medical or mental health issues. Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat.
