"Chair Yoga" is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. Chair yoga classes typically target those with physical disabilities or aging men/women who find a typical yoga session too challenging. It is also a great form of yoga for beginners or anyone who wants to focus on a gentle practice.

The Anchor Point Food Pantry Food Line is open on Fridays from 4-6pm with a food line and a meal.
We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.
When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone.

Learn how to confidently identify ten local plant families, opening up the ability to assess any plant you see within this framework!

Participants will be introduced to some of the most common and interesting local plant families, as well as some basic botanical terms. The goal of this lab is to give participants the keys to a deeper understanding of the plant world without getting overwhelmed by the details. We will take a short walk outside to look at some winter identification tricks, and pull specimens from the Pratt Museum herbarium to hone our new skills!

Come prepared to spend 15-20 minutes outside and bring any plant ID questions you may have. Online Registration required at https://www.prattmuseum.org/event/botany-for-beginners-introduction-to-botanical-terms-local-plant-families/
