Yoga for Teens at CBPL
Local yoga instructor Mona Dunham will offer a yoga series geared towards teens and adults three Mondays (July 1) at 6:00pm at the Coos Bay Public Library. The program is free and open to teens ages 13 and up, as well as adults. Pre-registration is required; visit the Coos Bay Public Library website or call (541) 269-1101 x3606 to register. Yoga is considered both an art and science, and it can aid in helping to access inner strength and find balance within. In Yoga for Teen and adult classes, students will practice physical yoga poses, basic breathing techniques, mindfulness meditation, and explore self-compassion. Emphasis is placed on de-stressing the body through movement and calming the mind through stillness to improve focus and inner sense of wellbeing. Class is appropriate for teens or adults who are new to yoga or want to continue to practice with the support of an instructor. The event is part of the Coos Bay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. During the summer, the Library offers both a reading challenge and programming for all ages which encourage people to read, learn, connect and find their voice. Beginning June 17 and continuing through August 17, participants of any age can participate in the summer reading bingo challenge, earning badges and entry into prize drawings. Participants who register will get a special prize for entering. This year, people can participate either online or using a paper bingo sheet. Challenge registration is available on the Library’s website or at the Coos Bay Public Library.
