Chair Yoga with Victoria Smith

Chair Yoga with Victoria Smith

Tuesdays at 7pm (Virtual)

Registration is Open

Victoria Smith took her first yoga class at Nassau Community College over 30 years ago.  She felt the benefits from practicing yoga spiritually, mentally and physically and her interest grew.  Eventually she decided she wanted to share those benefits with many others and decided to take a 200-hour certification course. She loved every moment of it and has been sharing her yoga since 2005.

 

Chair yoga class is mostly seated postures and some standing postures.  It is designed to help build strength, flexibility and balance. There is an emphasis on pairing breathe to movement which increases oxygen flow improving brain function as well as relaxing body and mind.  We will practice yoga principles such as letting go of judgements, leaving behind the need to compete, and being gentle with yourself.  These practices can lead to experiencing less stress and promoting feelings of wellbeing.

SPECIAL EVENT: 
BOOK LAUNCH FOR MARILYN SIMON ROTHSTEIN’S LATEST NOVEL: WHO LOVES YOU BEST

Thursday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m.
Registration begins Tuesday, October 1 at 9 a.m.

We are honored to have Marilyn Simon Rothstein visit our library to launch 
her newest book, Who Loves You Best, which will be published October 15. 
Marilyn will be signing copies of her book which will be for sale after the 
program.

For Jodi Wexler, a Florida doctor with a flourishing practice, only one thing’s missing: the chance to spend more time getting to know her eight-year-old granddaughter, Macallan. When Jodi’s restauranteur daughter asks her to watch Macallan in the Berkshires while she takes care of some business out of town, Jodi can’t say yes fast enough. But when Jodi 
arrives, she discovers she’s not the only grandma at Lisa’s. Lisa’s mother-in-law has moved into the house. What’s more, there’s the twenty-seven-year-old girlfriend of Lisa’s oddball father-in-law.  As the competition for Macallan’s attention among the three “grandmas” increases, Lisa drops a bomb about her life that changes everything. Under pressure, and determined to help her daughter, Jodi must choose her next step. Her decision surprises everyone—Jodi, most of all.

There are 69 spaces available.

Sunday Concert: Gerald Dickens Performance

Gerald Dickens Performance 
Sunday, October 27 at 2 p.m. 
Registration opens on Monday, October 14 at 9 a.m. 

Gerald Dickens, the actor and great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens, 
returns to East Meadow for a one man show, performing  two of the author’s most macabre readings, “Sikes and Nancy” and “The Tale of Captain Murderer.” 

Gerald Dickens performance of Sikes and Nancy is Victorian theatre at its most dramatic. Throughout the 1860s Charles Dickens gave a series of readings from his novels and his repertoire featured performances that involved safe, well-known, and often comic passages from his novels, but in 1869 he introduced Sikes and Nancy to his program. When Dickens performed what he called The Murder he judged the success of the evening by the number of ladies who had fainted with horror. Today it has lost none of its horrific power. 

“Sikes and Nancy” performance is taken from a scene out of Oliver Twist, and “Captain Murderer” is based on Charles Dickens Short Story of the same name. 

Gerald Dickens will be back on December 8th to perform 
A Christmas Carol. Join us for an afternoon you will not soon forget. 

Registration will begin on Monday, October 14, 2024 at 9:00 AM

Independent Film with Dylan Skolnick: Real Life (1979)

Real Life (1979) 
Monday, October 28 at 7 p.m. 
Registration opens on Monday, October 14 at 9 a.m. 

Real Life was Albert Brooks’ directorial debut. In total, he would only direct seven feature films. While his films Defending Your Life, Modern Romance, and Mother are more widely renowned, Real Life is truly a trendsetting masterpiece. 
The mockumentary movie may be fading from the monoculture, but Real Life still resonates nearly 50 years after its release. Characters in the movie are constantly acknowledging the cameras existence, staring through the lens like they’re addressing the audience at every turn. It even has Charles Grodin giving the best Michael Scott impersonation at the dinner table on the first night of filming, well before Michael Scott was even conceptualized. 
Rated: PG                  Running Time: 1 hour 39 minutes

Chair Yoga with Victoria Smith

Tuesdays at 7pm (Virtual)

Registration is Open

Victoria Smith took her first yoga class at Nassau Community College over 30 years ago.  She felt the benefits from practicing yoga spiritually, mentally and physically and her interest grew.  Eventually she decided she wanted to share those benefits with many others and decided to take a 200-hour certification course. She loved every moment of it and has been sharing her yoga since 2005.

 

Chair yoga class is mostly seated postures and some standing postures.  It is designed to help build strength, flexibility and balance. There is an emphasis on pairing breathe to movement which increases oxygen flow improving brain function as well as relaxing body and mind.  We will practice yoga principles such as letting go of judgements, leaving behind the need to compete, and being gentle with yourself.  These practices can lead to experiencing less stress and promoting feelings of wellbeing.

Victoria Smith took her first yoga class at Nassau Community College over 30 years ago.  She felt the benefits from practicing yoga spiritually, mentally and physically and her interest grew.  Eventually she decided she wanted to share those benefits with many others and decided to take a 200-hour certification course. She loved every moment of it and has been sharing her yoga since 2005.

 

Chair yoga class is mostly seated postures and some standing postures.  It is designed to help build strength, flexibility and balance. There is an emphasis on pairing breathe to movement which increases oxygen flow improving brain function as well as relaxing body and mind.  We will practice yoga principles such as letting go of judgements, leaving behind the need to compete, and being gentle with yourself.  These practices can lead to experiencing less stress and promoting feelings of wellbeing.

Chair Yoga with Victoria Smith

Chair Yoga with Victoria Smith

Tuesdays at 7pm (Virtual)

Registration is Open

Victoria Smith took her first yoga class at Nassau Community College over 30 years ago.  She felt the benefits from practicing yoga spiritually, mentally and physically and her interest grew.  Eventually she decided she wanted to share those benefits with many others and decided to take a 200-hour certification course. She loved every moment of it and has been sharing her yoga since 2005.

 

Chair yoga class is mostly seated postures and some standing postures.  It is designed to help build strength, flexibility and balance. There is an emphasis on pairing breathe to movement which increases oxygen flow improving brain function as well as relaxing body and mind.  We will practice yoga principles such as letting go of judgements, leaving behind the need to compete, and being gentle with yourself.  These practices can lead to experiencing less stress and promoting feelings of wellbeing.
