This (long) talk was subtitled, "The Story of WHY I Am So PASSIONATE About EXERCISE & ACTIVITY for CANCER PATIENTS/SURVIVORS!

Next month will mark fifteen years since our first ST&BF Gentle Yoga for Cancer Survivors class! Fifteen years of wonderful yoga sessions with amazing survivor yogis and incredible yoga instructores! This month our classes are facilitated by Katie Boge, CYT. Katie facilitated our very first class fifteen years ago and was our primary yoga instructor for many years until her now six-year-od daughter Willow came into her life! But we enjoy and appreciate whenever she comes back to lead a class! Katie ended her session with a few comments about Willow's yoga practice as well as her how! I hope you can join Katie and the rest of us for our next class on Wednesday, January 29th at 5P!
In addition to Gentle Yoga for Cancer Survivors we had an Indoor Row Group session and some Qigong for Cancer Survivors! Some of our amazing survivors joined us for one activity will others joined us for two or all three!

Most of the survivor-athlete members of the Indoor Row Group never rowed before. Not so with John! John raced Adirondack Guideboats in the 70s. Adirondack Guideboats are lightweight rowing crafts that originated in the small towns along the Adirondack lakes and rivers in Upstate New York. Guideboats were the main transportation in this region between 1870 and 1915 and used by Adirondack Guides to take clients back into the wilderness hunting and fishing. John continues to maintain and enjoy his historic wooden boat made by Warren Cole in Long Lake, NY around 1910 - a boat he rowed to win the Long Lake Regatta, Saranac Lake Willard Hammer races, and the Long alke to Tupper Lake 44-mile Marathon. To learn more from John about Adirondack Guideboats, here's a video from his YouTube channel:
