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.

Joe Augustin will be driving in from Richmond, Indiana, to perform for the Bloomington Songwriter Showcase this evening. Joe is a powerful entertainer with high-energy songs. Jason Blankenship will be on stage, too – with his definitely Blues-inspired songs. Jason hails from the Martinsville area, but presently resides in lovely Brown County where he is very active in the music scene and participates in his own Showcase(s) at the Pine Room Tavern in Nashville. The Reverend Father Joel Weir is a young man from Crawfordsville who simply knocks us out with his great music. Often uplifting, with a young edge, his songs have been covered by a few folks including our own Brandon Pfeiffer. Weir is a very talented Songwriter and we are pleased to have him in the house this evening. Last but certainly not least will be B-Towns favorite Duo – Jim Krause and Anne Hurley – with their gorgeous (mostly) instrumental songs that take us hiking through national forests but usually on a sail boat, where a lot of their inspiration is crated. This couple is as entertaining between songs as during with their clever banter and ability to draw their audiences into their music. Welcome Back all!
Remember – NO COVER CHARGE and ALL Ages are welcomed : -)
