A PLACE AND A PURPOSE

As a member of your local YMCA, you are part of so much more than a place to work out. You share in a mission to strengthen the community, every single day!

Did you know?  
We ensure children have access to summer camp.
The Cape Ann YMCA provided scholarships to over 250 campers this summer who otherwise may not have had the life changing experience that camp can offer in a safe environment that encourages them to challenge themselves and create new and long-lasting friendships.

YOUR SUPPORT, OUR MISSIONWith schools back in session, we are so proud of the 350 students who participated in our Y’s Summer Literacy programs which helped to narrow this gap for students entering grades 1-4, with 74% of those students coming from low-income households. They are back in the classroom and feeling confident in the skills they honed over the summer! This investment in kids in our community would not be possible without the generous support of donors like you – Thank you! #StrongYStrongCommunity

Current Nia Routine: Broadway!

Our Nia routine for the next few weeks lets us move to the great tunes from Broadway. Different takes on the classic songs by contemporary artists. Come join us on the boards!

Moving to Heal

Moving to Heal Nia is a slower, less intensive class with less standing and more done in the chair. Great for people with injuries or conditions that make it hard to participate in a classic Nia class. Also good for people getting back into exercise. For more info on Moving to Heal, see the info and videos on my web site or click here

Restorative Yoga

Find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks.  We make it work.  For more information on Restorative yoga, check out my site, niawithlinda.com.  It is a lovely passive practice that gives the participant relaxation and calm. Who couldn’t use that right now.

So here is how it works.  It will be easier for you if you download the Zoom client for meetings for a desktop or laptop, or the app for phones and tablets.

Click here for the link to download the zoom client or the app

Then click on this link to bring to my website and the list of streaming classes

At my website, niawithlinda.com, you will want to click on the link for the class and time you are trying to join.  Otherwise you will be all alone!

If you have downloaded the client/app, the meeting will open automatically in that interface.

If you have not downloaded the app/client, it should open in a web browser.

You can join early and sit in the waiting room. No magazines but no doctors either.

I’ll leave the audio open till the class starts.  If I leave the audio on, it interferes with my audio and we can’t have that!  I’ll open it back up at the end.  If you need to get my attention, you can raise your hand.  It is an icon in the middle of the bottom of the screen.

If you need any techie help, call me  617-851-2738  or email me at contact@niawithlinda.com

Find a little space in your home and be prepared to move and have fun.

Feel free to share these invitations to classes with anyone who needs it.

Love to all and stay healthy,

Linda Wilkes
