Healthy Aging Iyengar Yoga for Youngsters (age 30's-60's)

Mondays 10:30 am - 11:45 pm
w/ Howison Hollenberg
What is a youngster you ask? Life is characterized by cycles and stages. A youngster is more a state of mind than an age, but this class helps those that are leaving the bodies of their 20's and 30's and planning well for the next stage of life. Or perhaps you are well into your 40's, 50's, and 60's and want to elevate or maintain your self-care game.
This is a class designed and opened for all "levels" of practitioners and is a slightly faster pace than Wednesday's Yoga for Healthy Aging (50+) class. Learn how to utilize yoga asanas (postures) to prevent common conditions and yoga philosophy for emotional health and happiness through the aging process. 1st class free, $12 drop-in, discounted 4 & 8 class passes available.

Story Time STEAM
& Fitness

1st & 3rd Saturdays 10-11:30 am
w/ DeLisa Shaw
🌟Ready to spark your child’s curiosity and energy? Introducing Bee STEAM Fit Juniors—the ultimate enrichment program for kids ages 4–7 who love to learn by doing! 🚀
The Story Time STEAM is where stories turn into hands-on learning adventures and children become little problem solvers. After listening to an engaging story, children are given a simple, creative challenge inspired by the story—such as helping a character solve a problem, building something from the story, or figuring out how to make something work.
Children learn to:
-
Think through a problem
-
Try different solutions
-
Use numbers, shapes, and patterns in real ways
-
Work together and take turns
-
Stay engaged and keep trying, even when something doesn’t work the first time
Most importantly, children learn:
“I can try. I can create. I can figure it out.”
