Get moving (gently) with yoga at Mentor Public Library

Enjoy a free session of chair yoga every Monday morning this month at Mentor Public Library's Main Branch.

What’s your New Year’s resolution?

To lose weight? Be healthier? Reduce your stress? Try something new?

We can get you started with all of that in a single step.

Have you heard of chair yoga? It's a relaxing, low-impact way to get moving and reduce stress.

Every Monday morning in January, Mentor Public Library is hosting a free chair-yoga session at 10 a.m. in our Main Branch. The sessions will be guided by the professionals from Awaken Yoga in Mentor. They will teach some positions and maneuvers that can be practiced from the comfort of a chair.

You can register for any or all of these sessions on our online calendar.

Yoga has been linked to everything from reduced stress and boosted immunity to weight loss and stronger muscles.

Come join us this month and see what yoga can do for you.

Jennifer Langsdale of Awaken Yoga shows everyone how to relax their shoulders. "Shoulders hold all of our shoulds," she says. "That's why it can feel like they're carrying the weight of the world."
