Getting to the root cause of a disorder is the tenant of Ayurveda. With skin disorders the main causes are diet and lifestyle – the effect of which an individual may be unaware. Nutrition and habits that aggravate the basic nature of an individual cause imbalances that contaminate body tissues and can manifest as skin disruptions. Knowing your basic constitution (dosha), and how to maintain balance, is key to avoiding, and reversing, skin disorders.

Come and discover:

• The body type that is most prone to skin disorders 
• How seasonal changes affect the body constitution and promote skin disorders
• Diet and lifestyle changes that maintain balance and reverse skin disorders
• Treatments, and home remedies, for the root cause of skin disorders

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.

For this program we are not only commemorating our library’s anniversary but bringing  people together through their passion for great literary works. 

We have selected four classic novels, one for each season, that were popular in the 1920s when our library first came into being. 

Our presenter, Stephanie Rogers, will be reading an excerpt  from each novel and then lead a Q & A for our audience. Stephanie Rogers is the author of The Horse I Belong To: How a Misused and Almost Forgotten Grade Mare Showed Me the Way. 

The Pawling Library is proud to be partnering with our neighbors Pawling Recreation, the Book Cove and the Pawling Resource Center. 

To participate in this program, order a copy of A Passage to India through our library. You can also support our partner, the Book Cove, by purchasing this classic novel from our favorite book store. A Passage to India was written by E. M. Forster and published in 1924.
