For ages 3 weeks to pre-crawlers and their grownups (approximate age range is 0-8/9 months)
Baby Yoga is a class-focused on gentle movement and developmentally-safe yoga poses for the babies!
The parent assists the baby into easy folds and simple stretches timed with sweet songs and rhymes. The parent does little to no physical yoga themselves as these poses are solely focused on supporting the baby's growing body.
Modifications and instruction are provided for a baby's particular developmental stage during the class to ensure that every sweet pea is practicing the poses designed just for that age and stage. Parents are encouraged to take breaks as needed during the class to nurse, feed, or change a diaper.
Registration required; sign up by visiting Pollard Memorial Library's online form (click or tap linked text). Email reminders will be sent 48 hours before the event.
This program is hosted by the POLLARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY.

For children ages 6 - 12 and their grownups
Sweet Pea FAMILY Yoga is a special yoga class where adults and kids can develop their yoga practice in a joyful, interactive hour together! The poses are attuned to help kids learn yoga in a way that reflects their age, ability, and curiosity. Adults will enjoy the opportunity to learn alongside their children as we explore a variety of beneficial yoga postures for building strong bones, increasing body awareness and flexibility, and refining balance. This Family Yoga class is rooted in a classical style of learning yoga and the instruction is geared towards 6-12 year olds—which adults can comfortably enjoy.
We’ll integrate activities for developing mindfulness, practicing emotional resiliency, making healthy choices, breathing techniques, and kid-friendly meditation. No prior yoga experience is required by adult or child.

Go on a rollicking ride around New England—all in just one hour, and all from the comfort of your own home! Author of three books about New England and longtime “Chronicle” reporter Ted Reinstein is your tour guide as you go from Maine to Rhode Island, Mt. Washington to Mt. Mansfield, and Berkshire foliage to Fenway Park. But Ted’s 20-plus years of reporting and telling stories from all over New England means this is not your average bus tour. Prepare to meet colorful characters who’ve done the darndest things, learn odd facts about familiar places, and of course—this being a Ted talk—expect to visit at least a few fabulous classic diners. (Spoiler alert: Ted reveals where to find THE best clam chowdah in America—and it’s right here in New England!) Ted will take questions following the talk.

Sometimes great art inspires more great art! This webinar will take us on an exploration of how poets and lyricists interpret, respond to, and transform spectacular art into words (and sometimes music)! Each session we will get an overview of the artist, look at one or two amazing paintings, then read and discuss some poems and lyrics they inspired. Join popular presenter Roz Kubek in an entertaining March escape. Poems and lyrics will be provided to participants prior to each session for those who prefer to read ahead of time.
About the Presenter: Roz Kubek is a retired Pembroke English Department Head whose favorite hobby is teaching. She’s currently a library aide, poet, and dabbler whose webinars for PPL and the Sherborn COA have been a popular attraction and distraction. Roz’s workshops are relaxed and entertaining blends of media, presentation, and lively (completely optional) discussion. No prior knowledge needed.
