Sarah Khan is pictured giving a demonstration of chair yoga during a recent Norden Women’s Club meeting.

The Norden Women’s Club met at the Falcon’s Nest for a member-guest lunch recently. President Brenda Fitzgerald welcomed everyone and thanked Birgitta Hofert and Barbara Anderson for the table settings and centerpieces.

Nancy Jones, membership chair, held a moment of silence for two recently passed members, Karen Canfield and Sandra Tidquist. Hofert gave the invocation. Lunch was catered and served by 3C’s. Maria Malmstrom introduced Sarah Khan from Donna Sarah Yoga. Khan gave a presentation on chair yoga, demonstrating various exercises. Her philosophy is that yoga is not a practice of forcing the body into poses, but a practice of allowing the body to find its own natural shape, rhythm, and flow. A wall can be used if a chair is not available. It is best to ease into yoga, Khan said, and those who are new shouldn’t overdo it. She offered two free restorative workshops via virtual zoom to be held in March.

After the program, Gwen Funcell won the drawing for $25. The six centerpieces were then given away and won by Yvonne Roman, Kristin Clark, Gretchen Beckstrom, Barbara Anderson, Nichole Segrue and Judy Prechtl.

The next luncheon will be held on May 16 at the Chautauqua Lake Yacht Club, which will be a fashion show by GG My Love. The next board meeting will be held in April.
