Free Yoga Class Bow residents - July

As part of a facility rental agreement approved by the Library Trustees, Yoga NH (owned by Maureen Miller of Concord, NH), is pleased to offer FREE 1-hour yoga classes each month to Bow residents and library card holders! These classes are suitable for all levels, and occur from 9 am to 10 am on the following dates (unless otherwise noted):

Sunday 7/21

Classes will be held in the Library's Merrimack County Savings Bank Room in the Lower Level. We need at least 3 people signed up 48 hours in advance to run these free classes. Because these classes are being held outside of library operating hours, participants will need to enter through the Lower Level door near the handicapped parking and ramp.
