Oneida Public Library is offering free weekly classes in Hatha Yoga for Seniors that will be taught by Willard Skinner on Wednesday afternoons at 2:00 p.m., starting September 14.
Skinner will adapt yoga postures and breathing exercises as required to fit the physical needs of students. Beginners, in particular, will appreciate his individualized approach for a strain-free exercise and relaxing experience.
Skinner earned a 200-hour certification in Hatha and senior yoga at the Savannah Yoga Center, Savannah, Ga., in 2013. He has since taught yoga classes to seniors as well as delayed young adults in Georgia, and he has taught for the past three summers at the Elder Center on the Oneida Indian Nation Territory.
The classes will meet regularly on Wednesday afternoons throughout the fall season, depending on demand (though note that the Sept. 21 class is canceled). Seniors who are interested in participating are encouraged to reserve a spot for the weekly course by registering at the library desk.
For more information or to register for Yoga for Seniors, stop by the Oneida Library, 220 Broad St., or call 315-363-3050.
