Yoga is a practice that benefits all ages and body types. Join us for a basic 60-minute flow class for all levels. Both beginners and experienced practitioners will benefit physically and mentally from the training. We will begin with a warm-up of Sun A and B, then move to standing poses before ending with a floor series. The classes will be led by Bryan Milo, Brian Pang, Danielle Evonich and Elizabeth Kusturiss--all recently certified teachers at South Hills Power Yoga. These instructors have practiced yoga for several years prior to becoming yoga teachers.
Each participant should have a yoga mat, a small hand towel, and water, if desired. Feel free to bring any questions you have about yoga to the class as well.
These classes are free and no pre-registration is necessary.
Yoga for You will meet at 7:00 pm on six Wednesdays: June 5, 12, July 3, 10, 17 and 31, as well as on Tuesdays, June 18 and 25 and Monday, July 23.
Please note that there will be no classes on June 19, 28 and July 24.

Use All The Crayons! The Colorful Guide to Simple Human Happiness

Charcoal and lampblack: those were the only two colors the company that would grow to be Crayola Crayons produced when it was founded in 1864. Today, the children who use Crayola brand products can choose from more than 96 different colors, including Azure, Laser Lemon, and Razzmatazz. What child isn't glad to be alive in such a vibrant age? The company, which now earns more than $100 million each year, says the average child will wear down more than 730 crayons before he or she turns ten years old.
Like a box of crayons, we are all born with an astounding range of color options, from Mauvelous to Tickle Me Pink. We can paint our lives as brightly or dimly as we choose. But through life, some of us lose or wear down some of our more dazzling colors, living each and every day as if it were either charcoal or lampblack.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Nor should it. Use All the Crayons! is your uplifting, humorous, and spiritual guidebook about how to make every day as vivacious as Atomic Tangerine to illuminate even our most lampblack days.

Hot Topic: Clearing the Smoke on Drug Policy in America

While marijuana seems to dominate the media focus on drug policy, it is hardly the only newsworthy story. The misuse of prescription drugs is now killing more people than traffic accidents, and there is anecdotal evidence that opiate painkillers serve as a gateway to heroin use for some individuals. We are also experiencing a large reduction in cocaine consumption, which has important implications for both the United States and Mexico.
We invite you to join Beau Kilmer, co-Director of RAND’s Drug Policy Research Center, to discuss these issues and learn about what RAND is doing to improve decision making in what is often an emotional and fractious policy arena.
