We had seventeen people join our "Zoom Social" this morning! Wow! It was so great to see everyone and get quick updates from them! We have decided to start our yoga practice together very cautiously. The McFarland Senior Center will not be opening up until August (tentatively). The UCC Church is closed but I have asked the pastor if we can use their parking lot for our yoga practice. I am waiting for their reply. The group has decided that we will start with in-person yoga practice on June 8th at 9:30 am. We will be 10-15 feet apart in parking spaces with Masks at the UCC Church parking lot. (if we get the permission) I will register you so there is no touching of pens or sign in sheets. You will need to bring your own props: mat, block and strap (old neck tie would also work). Then we will also try a Thursday evening Zoom Yoga Class at 7:00 pm. I will set up the Zoom Yoga Class. If you want to attend the virtual Zoom class, you will need to contact me by 5 pm or earlier every Thursday to get the meeting ID number and the password. I will charge your account when I send you the meeting ID number/password. We are all trying to figure this out together. Please do give me feedback so we can tweak as we go along. With much gratitude. Be well, Stay Well, Keep your Distance. Eyes to the Sky, Feet on the Ground and Hands to yourself. (Dave D)

Hey McFarland Yogis! Learn how to use ZOOM and join me on Monday at 9:30 for a Zoom update and Social. We'll plan how we want to practice yoga going forward.... COVID 19 is not going away anytime soon...
Dr Fishman found that there are 12 yoga poses which improve bone health. His book shows you all of them at all levels--chair, standing with assistance and full on pose. I have taken these 12 poses and worked them into our usual Alignment Yoga Recipie which should feel familiar to you. Extended Side Angle (above) is #3. Triangle (below is #2)
