New Weekly Yoga Classes Coming to Town Square in 2021
If you’ve seen the preliminary Town Square Community Center Programs and Events Guide for 2021, you may have noticed the list of specific community themes each month listed in the front of the guide. Pie season will soon be behind us, and January will be here before you know it, which just so happens to be Town Square’s Community Health Month. Town Square’s mission is to promote a healthy community, and what better way to kick off that month than with an exciting announcement that Carol Skivington will start teaching weekly yoga classes Saturday, January 2.
But Carol is no stranger to Town Square Community Center. She first heard about Town Square from her husband during the early stages of turning the Green Lake County Courthouse into the community center. Carol began her yoga journey with Nancy Vandervelde of Room to Breath located in Town Square, but Carol and her husband eventually moved away. BUT this didn’t stop Carol from keeping up with her yoga and credits Nancy for inspiring her to become an instructor herself.
Fast forward to May of 2020, Carol and her husband have moved back to their home near the south shore of Green Lake permanently. Since then, several friends have encouraged her to reach out to Town Square Community Center to see if she could teach yoga, knowing that Nancy of Room to Breath had recently retired.
“I ran into Brigid Yeomans, who also mentioned the possibility of teaching yoga at Town Square. Brigid, who volunteers at Hangers: Resale Therapy, connected me to Amy Reese, and we were able to coordinate a class schedule that we think will work for everyone.
”
Carol has spent summers at Green Lake her entire life. As her family grew, Carol and her husband have loved participating in Green Lake's many community activities at Town Square Community Center.
“I love what Town Square Community Center is doing to connect the community with so many interesting activities including monthly featured artists, Bird and Photo Clubs, and events on Mill Pond Terrace.”
She is most impressed with how Town Square is continuously evolving, adding new avenues for connecting to the community. She is super excited and grateful to have the opportunity to share her love of yoga and help keep the Green Lake community healthy.
Carol will teach three classes a week at Town Square Community Center starting January 2, 2021: Tuesday at 6 p.m., Thursday at 10 a.m., and Saturday at 9 a.m. Be sure to check out the Calendar for information about how to sign up for Carol’s upcoming yoga classes!
