๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿป We have a new yoga instructor and a new yoga class to introduce!

MICHELLE PINEDO will be leading Yoga and Breath Life Force at The Hansen Center at Gurney Lane Recreation Area.

The class will start with a brief meditation and Pranayama (breathing technique), which will prepare the body for yoga practice. Working with ancient yogic practices, participants will learn how to control and regulate the breath with inhalation, retention, and exhalation to improve mental health, reduce stress, and learn how to breathe under stress.

Michelle has been practicing yoga for 25 years and credits her personal practice โ€” which includes yoga, Pranayama, and meditation โ€” with having a significant, positive impact on her life. She is passionate about sharing the benefits with others.

Michelle holds a 200-hour certification from Kripalu School in Massachusetts and a 300-hour certification from Yoga Vidya School in Rishikesh, India. She has taught at the Queensbury School District and is currently teaching at Matt Secor Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Michelle is an avid outdoor enthusiast and enjoys hiking, biking, walking, and paddle boarding.

Yoga and Breath Life Force will be held from 7-8:15am, Tuesdays, June 23-July 14. To sign up for this new class: https://queensburyny.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=31652

Whelp ... the weather wasn't the greatest for Memorial Day weekend, but what can you do? โ˜”๏ธ

This week's weather is looking pretty nice, though, so why not hit one of our playgrounds? Maybe try one you don't usually frequent.

Some options:
โ€ข Gurney Lane Recreation Area
โ€ข Jenkinsville Park
โ€ข Freedom Park at Hovey Pond Park
โ€ข West End Park

Enjoy the sunshine โ€” any day of the week. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
