Yoga on the Pier

 One of the best yoga on the pier events so far! It was, admittedly, a little cool but when you are concentrating on your yoga pose and breathing—it isn't a problem.

 Josie was back with us as instructor and we had to applaud her at the end....what a great workout.

As always, the birds were gliding back and forth over us ("what are those crazy humans doing down there ??") and the clean, fresh ocean air wafted over the tranquil scene.

Lots of super prizes were given out at the raffle for those who donated to CSC-RB.......yoga mats and blocks, a gift certificate from Kincaid's Restaurant and much more.

Remember folks…next week is our LAST Monday night of Yoga on the Pier so mark your calendar!
