Recent visitors to Lakeside Park may have discovered a new landmark: a Little Free Library. This box was the handiwork of local Boy Scouts. Park visitors are encouraged to take a book that they are interested in reading, and to leave behind one that they have already finished. If you like the new Little Free Library, you can thank Julian, Sean, and Levi from the Boy Scouts for putting it together and the Town of Pawling for their support.

Yin Restorative Yoga is a gentle practice.
The poses are held longer than hatha yoga (1 minute to 3-4 minutes) and mostly performed close to the floor. There are few standing postures.
This form of yoga is known for calming and balancing the mind, body and internal organs, increasing circulation, and improving flexibility and joint mobility.
Yin Restorative Yoga encourages the use of props. For class make sure you have a strap (belt or scarf will do), yoga block (or book), eye pillow, and pillows, rolled up towels etc. for various areas of support.
Please join us for a stress relieving hour of gentle exercise and relaxation.
Each session ends with a guided meditation.
Program fee: $4.00, per class.
Note: We ask that you pay in advance for a full month of yoga classes.
For September:
One month of Yin Restorative Yoga: $16.00.
You can make a non-refundable payment each month using our library’s PayPal account, by check or money order.
Please make checks / money orders payable to Pawling Library, and mail to Pawling Library, 11 Broad St, Pawling, NY 12564.
Make sure enclosed with your payment is your name, and indicate that payment is for Yin Restorative Yoga classes.
