Yoga for Lean Bodies *FREE* Loving Hands Yoga
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Yoga For Lean Bodies – Vinyasa (flowing) yoga is a powerful component of a healthy lifestyle that aids in creating a leaner body. We move very actively through poses in this class, keeping an elevated heart rate to help burn calories. The body awareness and present-moment awareness that we learn in yoga also help us to be more conscious of what we put into our bodies, and helps us to be gentle and accepting of ourselves along our lean body journey. This is an active level class, perfect for those with previous yoga experience or those who are already fairly physically fit.

Heights Youth Theatre presents Disney's Aladdin Jr. directed by Treva Offutt music directed by Joanna Li
2:00 PM
Why would someone whose home is a palace long for the freedom of the marketplace? Why would someone steal a loaf of bread and pretend to be someone he is not? Why, with all the power of the universe would someone feel trapped? Freedom is powerful, but power can limit freedom in unexpected ways. Imprisoned by tradition, hunger and the law, it’s a whole new world as the story of Aladdin weaves back through the tales of 1001 Nights. Through the classic music of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, colorful puppets, exotic dance and pure…magic, join Scheherazade, Sinbad, Ali Baba and your favorite characters from Aladdin as we hop a carpet and fly to another Arabian night!

October 17 & 24, 7 PM
October 18, 19, 25 & 26 2 PM

Tickets $10 general admission,
$9 senior citizens/children 6 and under
