WOODBURY â The Woodbury Yoga Center is starting a new series of classes this summer, the Foundations of Meditation, to be held at 122 West Side Road, Woodbury. Call 263-2254 for more information on class descriptions and schedules or check the Web site at www.woodburyyogacenter.com for details.

The Foundations of Meditation course provides training in the theory and practice of correct meditation. Topics include the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits of meditation, application to stress management, meditation posture, the relationship between breath and mind, the power of the mantra, the evolution of consciousness, Kundalini Shakti, and the mind and attention.

Each class will include a 20-minute meditation. The seven-week program will be held Thursday evenings, June 14 through July 26, from 7 to 8:30 pm each week. Cost is $105 per person, and Vin Dâ Alession and Janaki Pierson will be teaching the course.

Hatha Yoga Classes

âHatha Yoga for Beginnersâ is being taught by WYC instructors at Brookfield Library and Waterbury Hospital. Hatha yoga is a series of gentle stretching exercises designed to strengthen, relax, and revitalize the body, mind, and spirit.

Instructors will lead a series of exercises, teach correct breathing and guide relaxation techniques, all to assist in the process of untangling the myriad of knots stored within oneâs physical and emotional being. Hatha yoga tunes the glandular and nervous systems, limbers the spine, increases circulation, and tones internal muscles and organs. Students leave their classes feeling relaxed, refreshed, and revitalized.

The seven-week course begins in Brookfield on Tuesday, July 10, and continues weekly through Tuesday, August 21. Classes meet from 6 to 7:30 pm, and the fee is $85. The instructor is Laura Forcade.

There will be two separate series of classes being offered at Waterbury Hospital. The first seven-week series will be Tuesday, June 19, to August 7, from 6 to 7 pm, and with instructor Hilda Brehm. The second series will be held on Saturdays, June 23 to August 4, from 9:30 am to 11 am, with instructor Nanci Bennington. The fee for either Waterbury class is $85.

For information on any of these courses, contact Woodbury Yoga Center at 203-263-2254. For directions to Waterbury Hospital, including the locations of free parking locations, call the hospital directly at 203-573-7385.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
