This course is great for those who are recovering from an injury, or want to focus on injury prevention. We will focus on a combination of mobility, strength, and flexibility in the different joints in our bodies, to create more durability and resilience. This is a slow paced class, and great for those new to yoga, or those who want a gentle yet intentional class. Please bring a yoga mat to class. What participants are saying about yoga with Emma: "Emma is a great yoga instructor. She changes up the class to fit our needs but is always pushing us to be better." "Good structure and knowledgeable instructor." "The level of “effort” was perfect for me at this point in my life. I have not been active and this class, along with some other at home exercises, has helped to ease me towards my goal of becoming more active while also focusing on correct form and deliberate movements that address my body’s needs during the aging process." "Emma is a very intuitive teacher, who always keeps the class upbeat." "The wonderful instructor, Emma! Her gentleness and patience really helped me get back into yoga after many years." "The in person assistance with the postures and exercises. The ability of the instructor to observe the movements and poses and provide hands on correction of the positions as needed. I also appreciated the combination of exercises with use of bolsters as needed for stretching and supporting certain parts of the body. Relaxing into these positions using body weight gently is important."

MG (Ret) Bruce Zukauskas will lead and facilitate a roundtable discussion on significant geopolitical issues and events occurring in today's complex world. The objective is to provide a forum for a better understanding of world events and also provide a means to discuss and learn about different viewpoints on world affairs. General Zukauskas will select his “Top 3 Issues or Events of the Day” prior to each session in order to help stimulate the discussion. For example, the “Top 3 Issues” for a session might be: the West’s continued support for the War in Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, or Iran’s next move in the Middle East. He will begin each session with a short background presentation for a better understanding of the topics. A roundtable discussion, facilitated by General Zukauskas, will follow for questions, comments, and discussion on the selected topics or other noteworthy geopolitical topics of interest by the group. **All proceeds benefit the Prescott Community Center.** Here is what they are saying about Bruce's Geopolitical Roundtable: "A diverse array of relevant topics is addressed, with Organizer presenting thought-provoking content." "He is always prepared, well informed, invites comments and questions." "Bruce is extremely prepared and a great presenter. There were many diverse political opinions in the class, but Bruce navigated the discussion perfectly without engaging in partisan politics. He presented the material with a historical perspective as it related to Russia which was something you don't hear on the news." "It's a great class. Everyone is friendly and the format is great for an open discussion while being a curated experience."

These observations become part of a global scientific database used by researchers, conservationists, and communities around the world. You’ll learn how to properly document and upload sightings to support Groton’s Biodiversity Project, helping build a clearer picture of the plants, wildlife, and ecosystems in our own backyard. Dr. Black will explain how this locally collected data contributes to larger scientific efforts, including biodiversity research and climate change studies. At the end of the summer, Dr. Black will compile and compare this year’s observations with data from previous years, allowing us to track changes and better understand trends in our local environment. Spring is the perfect time of year to get started! Anyone can participate. Pick up the phone, go for a walk, observe nature, and record.
