For owners <strong>of</strong> DSLR cameras or cameras with manual<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 />

cylinder that surrounds your waist that flattens the tummy<br />

and supports the back. You will experience a full body<br />

workout with no impact on the joints as you strengthen<br />

and stretch through each exercise. A powerfully different<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 />
