Join Kate Doran for a 45-minute chair-based online yoga class. We start sitting in the chair, then stand up and use the chair for balance in some standing postures, and then we get down on the floor for the last part of the practice. You only need to get up off the floor once! Enjoy and Namaste.
A couple years ago, my daughter, Lily took me to the Albany Tulip Festival for Mother’s Day. It was such a beautiful day…I got a plethora of gorgeous photos and will cherish the day forever.

Ken Roht from the Orphean Circus has compiled a large work of short stories that you and the reader can choose from. The reader (a volunteer from the Medical Reserve Corps) calls you once a week and they read for 15 min or so and then just check in. You can pick a book from what they have available or pick one of your own, just depending on your interest.
