KNIT Mtg – Knitter’s Yoga

Our meeting will be held the 3rd Tuesday in November due to election day on the 8th.

Do you suffer from knit-i-tis? A condition associated with knitting for hours and hours; symptoms include stiffness of the fingers, tightness of the neck, achy shoulders, and sore back. If you have any or all of these signs, hope you will join us in learning different yoga stretches, exercises and perhaps a few poses to alleviate these “terrible” pains. The program is presented by Shuwen Reger, a certified yoga instructor.
