Basic Digital Photography<br />
For owners <strong>of</strong> DSLR cameras or cameras with manual<br />
functions for aperture and shutter speed. So you have<br />
a new digital camera. It has dozens <strong>of</strong> functions, lots <strong>of</strong><br />
megapixels and a thick, unreadable manual. So why aren’t<br />
your pictures what you’d hoped for? We’ll take the mystery<br />
out <strong>of</strong> the f stops, the shutter speeds and the multiple<br />
camera functions. With demonstrations, slide shows,<br />
and mainly practice, you will understand your camera<br />
better. Photography is also about light and composition.<br />
We’ll go outside as weather permits and shoot various<br />
subjects: cityscapes, portraits, movement, macro, and long<br />
exposures. You’ll feel more confident with your camera but<br />
more importantly, more excited about making pictures.<br />

Mindfulness Level 1<br />
Our lives are mostly spent thinking about the<br />
past or planning for the future. So we <strong>of</strong>ten miss what is<br />
happening in the here-and-now. Diminished awareness<br />
<strong>of</strong> the present moment severely limits our ability to live to<br />
the fullest. Mindfulness is about living consciously rather<br />
than living on autopilot. Learn mindfulness and enhance<br />
your life at home and at work. You will learn mindfulness<br />
techniques with a step by step easy to follow processes<br />
as well as learn the basic mindfulness concepts and<br />
principles. No previous knowledge <strong>of</strong> mindfulness is<br />
required. Free introduction – Tue Oct 9, 7-8pm . Please<br />

Bermuda Triangle (All Levels)<br />
Do you buy your shirts two sizes too big? Tie your<br />
sweater around your waist? Avoid tucking in your shirt?<br />
Come and regain your confidence about your waistline!<br />
I developed the Bermuda Triangle based on the regular<br />
question from my participants; What can I do about<br />
my waist? The question was so frequent that I thought<br />
it’s like a mystery for people; they want to change the<br />
shape <strong>of</strong> their body but don’t know how. The Bermuda<br />
Triangle was born. I imagined a triangle, the top point at<br />
your chin and the bottom ending at your knees. We work<br />
everything within the triangle: the mid-section, chest &<br />
back, thighs, and buttocks. Work hard and watch your<br />
own natural “girdle” pull your waistline in! You will also be<br />
given easy exercises to take home with you that you can<br />
fit into your everyday life. Drop-in $14. No class Oct 6 &<br />

Callanetics<br />
Are you bored <strong>of</strong> your<br />
regular gym work-out?<br />
Tired <strong>of</strong> getting lost at<br />
the back <strong>of</strong> a crowded<br />
studio? Looking for an<br />
exercise routine that<br />
can reduce your dress<br />
size instead <strong>of</strong> bulking<br />
muscles out? Try The<br />
CALLANETICS Exercise Method! You’ll feel and see<br />
spectacular results within hours! The unique program<br />
promotes deep muscle tone throughout the entire body<br />
increasing flexibility, strength and improving posture. This<br />
exceptional form <strong>of</strong> exercise uses precise positioning to<br />
isolate specific muscle groups. This combined with tiny<br />
yet powerful movements cause the muscles to work at<br />
a deep level recruiting more muscle fibers. More muscle<br />
fibers recruited means quick toning and results that you<br />
can feel and see within hours. CALLANETICS is a nonimpact<br />
exercise program, therefore you won’t experience<br />
the bouncing and jarring found in high-impact activities<br />
such as aerobics or jogging. Each muscle group is<br />
warmed, worked and then stretched to ensure total body<br />
health increasing strength, flexibility and body alignment.<br />
