Happy May!
KYWC has a full calendar of events planned for in May in addition to our regularly scheduled classes. Let’s hope the weather is kinder to us than April with its mid-month ice storms and cancellations. Yikes!
Volunteer Request: Do you have an hour or two this week (or next) to do some yard work at the center? We would sure appreciate your help raking, picking up sticks, and spiffing up the grounds. Call Steve at 315-583-5500.

Tuesday Morning 11-12:30 PM Chair Yoga with Barb
Experience all the benefits of yoga from a chair, including breath work, postures, meditation and restorative elements. Most of the postures will be done from a seated position with a few standing using the chair for balance. Chair yoga practice will improve strength, flexibility, mindfulness and an overall sense of well being. We all need to keep moving – this is a safe way to move and practice yoga.

Enjoy a nourishing, soothing and stabilizing flow of postures. The class winds down with restorative yoga postures to comfort your body down to the cellular level. This class is open to all levels from beginner to experienced.
