New Year, New Programs at Wyomissing Public Library

From Wyomissing Public Library

The Wyomissing Public Library will offer three different types of Yoga practices in 2025, beginning Thursday, Jan. 2.

Linda Zogas, who has practiced and taught Yoga for more than 30 years and is the former owner of Bldg 7 on Park Road, leads a 60-minute “Chair Yoga” class on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. at the library. During this practice, participants sit in chairs; there are no poses that require getting on and off the floor. Participants should expect to breathe, lengthen their muscles, and ease and strengthen their joints. There is no charge for the class, which is open to the public. Registration is not required, and there is no need to bring anything. Blocks and straps are provided.

A new “Stretch & Flow” practice will begin at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2. Stretch & Flow seamlessly integrates breathwork, stretching, and mindful movement into the practice to release tension, enhance flexibility, and cultivate inner calm. The transitions between postures are designed to connect breath and movement. At the end of the practice, participants will feel grounded, refreshed, and reconnected.

Maddie Hertzog, who has been practicing and teaching yoga for more than 25 years, will lead each practice, which is rooted in the belief that yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, size, or ability. To register, go to www.maddiehertzog.com. The cost is $15 per class, or $65 per five-class plan, or $120 per 10-class plan. Bring your mat.

“Adult Yoga for Everyone” with Linda Zogas, will begin the new year on Friday, Jan. 3, at 9 a.m. Adult Yoga is a liberating, easy flow into restorative postures. This practice will aid participants in restoring energy and releasing discomfort in the body. This is a beginner-friendly yoga class, and no experience is necessary. Bring your mat! The cost is $15/class.

The popular board game, “Scrabble,” will continue in January, on the 13th and 27th, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The library provides boards and tiles, although players may bring their own. It is open to the public, at no charge.

Starting Wednesday, Jan. 15, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., the Library will offer “Bridge for All” as a new monthly program. The club is designed to meet the needs of those new to bridge, as well as those of experienced players. Denise Greenwood, formerly of Albright College, will lead the games. No need to bring anything, and no need to register. Players may just show up at the library.

The Wyomissing Public Library is located at 9 Reading Blvd. in Wyomissing; participation in all of the library’s programs in open to the public, library patrons as well as non-patrons. Visit the library’s website, wyopublib.org, or call the library at 610-374-2385, or email ann@wyopublib.org for more information.
