Each workshop will consist of two writing exercises, each based on a selection of prompts that are proposed or suggested by the group. Following the writing session, volunteers would read what they wrote and others would comment in a supportive manner.

5. Restorative Yoga: Held in the Rivertown Center for Yoga & Health at 343 Broadway Monday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m., this class is free “by donation.” Restorative yoga, originally designed by B.K.S. Iyengar, seeks to promote physical, mental and emotional release with the help of props and a skilled instructor who can help bring you into a state of deep relaxation.Props (blankets, bolsters, etc) help you to achieve balance while you are stimulating and relaxing your body. While some restorative yoga poses are beneficial to the entire body, others are geared towards individual parts of the body, such as the spine, heart or the lungs.

6. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Patch!
