Event Description
Support your well-being with this chair yoga series designed specifically for library staff. Each session combines gentle physical postures, breathing techniques, and basic meditation practices to help ease physical tension, manage stress, and build flexibility. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this series welcomes all levels and abilities—no special clothing or equipment required. Just bring yourself and a chair!

Learning Objectives:
  • Explore the yogic principle of dharma (right action) to reflect on healthy, sustainable ways to serve your community without experiencing burnout.
  • Examine the concept of “vocational awe” in libraries and its impact on personal well-being.
  • Use mindful movement and meditation to reconnect with intrinsic motivation, purpose, and inner alignment in one’s professional role.
  • Develop tools for self-compassion and boundary-setting that support quality service while honoring personal needs and limitations.

She specializes in making yoga accessible to all and is passionate about supporting the well-being of library workers through mindful movement, meditation and breath work. Hillary believes that, like libraries, yoga should be welcoming to everyone.
