Yoga Flow with Kathleen
This 60- minute Yoga class is ideal for beginners. It begins with breath work, gentle warm up linked to movement , followed by flowing poses transitioning from one pose to the next, building on foundational strength, stability, and flexibility . Functional movement and breath will be focused on throughout the class. Each week the classes will likely have some variability with the flowing style allowing participants to make choices for their own individual bodies and what feels right to them.
Yoga is an individualized practice so it is encouraged for participants to focus on their own bodies and individual needs. It is advised that participants check with their medical provider prior to starting any new exercise program or regime.
*Participants should bring their own mats, 2 blocks, and water. If they so choose a towel and/or a small pillow for comfort with positions.<a href="https://danverslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/summer-yoga-series-7/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Click here to register.</a>

From award-winning, starred-review author Heather B. Moore comes a powerful portrait of eight American women whose courage and conviction drove them to smash stereotypes and build a nation - we'll be discussing "Her America", released just a few weeks ago. We loved chatting with Heather earlier this year so we just had to have her back for this new book! We hope you can join us for another fascinating conversation.&nbsp;

RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.&nbsp;
About the book:
Her America recognizes eight remarkable women who refused to wait for permission to prove a woman's worth in society. They fought for American independence, the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and civil rights with their pens and their voices, empowered by their unwavering convictions and courage, to challenge the status quo. Through vivid fictional vignettes and meticulously researched nonfiction accounts, Her America immerses readers in these women's crucial role in transforming this nation.
Mercy Otis Warren ignited a revolution with her politically impassioned plays and became the first published female historian of America.
Sojourner Truth electrified audiences with her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech and turned her freedom into a crusade for abolition and equality.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton authored the Declaration of Sentiments, launching the women's suffrage movement.
Susan B. Anthony built an unstoppable campaign for women's voting rights that reshaped American democracy.
Harriet Tubman rescued enslaved families through the Underground Railroad and later commanded Union troops to freedom.
Eleanor Roosevelt redefined the role of First Lady and shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Jovita Idár founded schools, organized resistance, and wielded her pen to defend Mexican American civil rights.
Marguerite Higgins broke barriers as a Pulitzer Prize-winning frontline war correspondent.
Her America is an essential addition to any collection on women's history, social justice, and the power of courage in action. It is perfect for classrooms, book clubs, and libraries, as it invites discussion, inspires leadership, and connects past to present with clarity and mastery.
About the Author:
Heather B. Moore is a USA Today bestseller and award-winning author of more than ninety publications. Heather writes primarily historical and #herstory fiction about the humanity and heroism of the everyday person. Publishing in a breadth of genres, Heather dives into the hearts and souls of her characters, meshing her love of research with her love of storytelling.
Her historicals and thrillers are written under pen name H.B. Moore. She writes women’s fiction, romance and inspirational non-fiction under Heather B. Moore, and . . . speculative fiction under Jane Redd. This can all be confusing, so her kids just call her Mom. Heather attended Cairo American College in Egypt and the Anglican School of Jerusalem in Israel. Despite failing her high school AP English exam, Heather persevered and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University in something other than English.

Randi is the author of eight books (working on the 9th!) in the non-fiction "Death in the National Parks" series, explores the fatal mistakes people make when they venture into unfamiliar wilderness. Collected here are some the most gripping accounts in park history and new stories about people losing the battle with natural forces or perishing from their own folly.

Note: This program will be recorded and a link will be sent to all registrants soon after the program.&nbsp;
About the Book:
On Mount Washington, it’s lack of preparation, not the mountain, that kills. The weather is highly changeable with wind gusts of 140 mph and -35 degree temps. Then there are the avalanches and icefalls. Combine this with inexperienced hikers in t-shirts and flip flops and things can get ugly fast.
Death on Mount Washington describes the circumstances behind the tragic tales of those who have lost their lives on the mountain. No one--not even the most experienced mountaineer or pilot--is safe from the mountain's mercurial weather conditions. Learn from the mistakes of others in the comfort and safety of your armchair and remember to respect Mount Washington on your next ski trip.
About Randi:
Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Randi Minetor discovered the backcountry wonders of America's national parks in 1992 with her husband, photographer/lighting designer Nic Minetor. That first trip changed her life, and by 2000, the Minetors had pledged to see all 430 national parks in their lifetimes. They found a way to subsidize this passion in 2006, when they began writing and photographing books on the parks for The Globe Pequot Press (now Rowman &amp; Littlefield). Today Randi has written more than 90 books, including seven books in the nonfiction Death in the National Parks series, ten hiking guides in New York State, several bird-finding guides, and even reference books on health topics. To date, they have visited at least 364 national parks. In addition, Nic's photography appears in eight Quick Reference Guides to the Birds, Trees, and Wildflowers of New York City and New York State, and the Trees and Wildflowers of the Mid-Atlantic States. The Minetors live in Rochester, NY.

Deric Dyer was born in Ireland and lived in England until 1967, when his trumpet-player father moved his family to Bermuda – where Deric’s musical career began. In Spring of 1975, after meeting Cliff Goodwin and joining the American Standard Band, Deric moved to America. Just two years later, ASB would become Joe Cocker‘s band. Playing in Joe’s horn section with the legendary Bobby Keys, “Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder” Deric quickly learned the art of Rock/R&amp;B sax. This proved to be valuable experience for what was still to come in his career. After a couple of years of playing with Joe, Deric left to play and record with many of the best of Boston’s music scene, a highlight recording with Rick Ocasek of The Cars on his first solo album Beatitude.
Deric’s next life-changing opportunity came in January 1987, when he had the good fortune to audition for Rock And Roll Hall of Fame -Tina Turner. He spent an amazing two years as part of her Break Every Rule World Tour, and when Tina was paired with Joe Cocker on Summer festival shows in Germany, Deric and Joe rekindled their friendship. Deric wasn’t home long from TT tour when manager Michael Lang (Woodstock Promoter) called to ask if he would like to re-join Joe Cocker and the rest of the band for the Unchain My Heart World Tour. Deric jumped at the chance to revisit that special time in his career.
Deric continued to tour with Joe throughout the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s, as well as playing with Roger Hodgson, Al Jarreau, Tony Hadley and Andrea Bocelli. Belgium’s Night of The Proms reunited him with his Tina band mate (and the best man at his wedding), John Miles. In 2012 and 2013, Deric was asked to take part in the John Lennon Double Fantasy Bermuda Tribute Concerts, where he worked with Maxi Priest, Biggie Irie, Roy Young, Uzimon and many amazing Bermudian artists to celebrate the music of John Lennon.
Two years after losing Joe, arguably the greatest voice in Rock &amp; Roll, Deric reached out to his old friends to ask if they could come together again to help keep Joe’s music alive. Their answer was a resounding “YES!” and “Mad Dogs Unchained” was born. MDU went on to play Worcester’s Bull Mansion (among other New England venues), release an hour-long documentary video with a live CD, and travel Europe for eighteen shows in 2018.
During the pandemic, Deric also collaborated with James Duncan and Tony Brannon to produce “Hope!” - a song for the time - with the goal of helping lift the spirits of people everywhere.
Deric Produced the Trilbee Kings album. Working with Executive Producer Rich Kneeland, Deric &amp; Rich, with some of the best musicians in the world, headed of to Los Angeles to record at the famous Sunset Sound Studios. Deric plays soaring solos that adds the final, rich sound to the T.K. Album.
On July 4th 2023 Deric performed in celebration of Tina Turner at New York City’s Macy’s/NBC fireworks display, seen live by millions all over the world. Later that year was a special guest speaker at the Tina Turner Museum - West Delta Heritage Center Brownsville TN. Deric also rereleased Renaissance Man with the additional track “Tennessee Waltz” Sept 2023.
This September brings the release of Deric’s sixth album Red String. A beautiful mix of classic songs from Dylan “Make You Feel My Love” Lennon “Imagine” to Jim Webb “Wichita Lineman” Another captivating musical journey!
