Oak Park Public Library Presents:

Planet D Nonet Live in Concert

moved to the Oak Park Community Center ROOM B 

Enter through the WEST entrance

Sunday, March 25, 2012, 2:00 pm 

Cost: FREE 

The Planet D Nonet was founded by (drummer) RJ Spangler and (trumpeter) James O’Donnell in 2007. Both men are lifelong eastsiders and they have been playing together for over 30 years ago.  The band plays the classic swing music of Ellington & Strayhorn, Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie & Benny
Carter as well as more modern jazz by Sun Ra and Pharoah Saunders, and always with a Detroit twist. The Planet D Nonet is about swing, blues, spaceage jazz and classic American songs all served with plenty of good humor.  
Join us for an afternoon of good music and fun at the Library.
Advanced sign-up is appreciated but not necessary.

Yoga

Yoga is good for the body and the mind.  Several yoga studios offer FREE YOGA classes.  Often, the first class is free, so you can determine if the studio is the right fit for you.  Check out your local studio to find out.

Also, there are several studios that offer free classes weekly or for a small donation for whatever you can afford.  These classes are often crowded, so arrive early, roll out your mat, and breathe.  

For those of you who would like to try yoga, but don't own a mat, that's ok.  Every studio I've been to has a small (or large) stack of mats you can use for the hour.  Most will ask for you to spray and wipe down your mat when you finish.  Keep it clean, kiddos.

Namaste Yoga in Royal Oak offers a donation class on Saturday afternoons at 1:30pm (check schedule to determine which Saturdays) and the first class is free.

EveryDay Yoga in Clawson offers $5 Thursday class, and has the philosophy that you will donate what you can or pay the suggested normal package.  "Donation classes are shaped to honor the sacred art of giving so that yoga can be affordable to all.  We believe in the law of Karma: give to receive."

Yoga Buffs is a Meetup Group that offers a FREE yoga class on Thursday afternoons at Irene's Myomassology Institute.  Join their Meetup group to get the time and location. 

If you would rather do yoga in the privacy of your own home, check out a video or two from your local library for free.  Or there are many websites with free yoga workouts that offer a variety of levels.  

Namaste. 

Free Museum Admission

In case you haven't been to the public library in a while, I want you to know, you can get free admission tickets to more than 20 museums, galleries, and activities in the Metro-Detroit area by picking up a Museum Adventure Pass.
