Join us at Unity of Bloomington for Golden Slippers Chi Gong led by Elisa Pokral on Monday evenings. Whether you are a young adult, thirty something, middle aged, or elderly, Elisa’s vision for this class is for all to practice together an ancient art of health maintenance and healing with whatever flexibility level you have. The class welcomes those who exercise regularly, those who don’t, those with limited mobility, and some who may only be able to do the exercises sitting down. The class costs $10 and drop-ins are welcome at any time.

The class is taught by Allana Radecki who has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1988. Her “Yoga from the Inside Out,” draws upon the foundation poses of Hatha Yoga, guided by the breath, to develop a balanced, mindful practice. Allana’s method adapts easily to all ages and levels of practice and is helpful to people with special needs, injuries and joint replacements. Allana’s teaching is grounded in 40 years of Hatha practice and over 25 years of teaching yoga, dance, fitness and Pilates, deeply influenced by Body-Mind Centering.

Opal Fly – www.OpalFly.com came to Bloomington a couple of years ago – (3?) and took it by storm. Her work on saxophone has become literally the gold standard around here – and combined with her spirited vocal style, and personality, has made her a star around these parts. She will be accompanied by her best friend and partner – Mark Bushkill on bass guitar. Dwight Gregory is a regular at the Showcase – not always on stage, but attends nearly every one of them. Gregory’s music (no website given) is Country and has a bit of a Blues influence as well. Dwight is artistic by nature – and is fairly well known for his artwork – which is displayed at the Player’s Pub. Will Scott www.WillScottmusic.com is an exceptional Singer-Songwriter who will round out this evening’s program. Will grew up in Indianapolis (and Chicago) and he’s known for his distinctive voice, original roots songwriting, and guitar stylings.
