This presentation by Dennis P. Waters, Ph.D., tells the story of the search for the perfect coal and how it powered the fleet of the fabled Cunard Line during the Gilded Age. At the turn of the 20th century, North Atlantic steamers were prodigious consumers of coal, and not just any coal would do. Moving this precious fuel from the mountains of Appalachia to the docks of Manhattan was a huge undertaking, with great fortunes made and lost in mining and railroads.  This event can be attended in-person or virtually.

    This class is meant to give you a glimpse of what Chair Yoga is. We'll practice simple & effective Hatha Yoga asanas (postures), both seated and standing. Movements are done mindfully within each individual's capacity while making any adjustments if needed. Some yogic breathing, mudras & meditation will also be an integral part of the class. Yoga has many benefits, but among them is gaining the ability to reduce strain, stress & discomfort, while creating a sense of well-being within. Practitioners may leave feeling both peaceful and invigorated at the end of class.

Shirin Stave-Matias has dedicated a lifetime to her love of movement and sharing it with others, mostly through dance and yoga.  As a professional dancer she performed internationally in different dance genres. She studied yoga intensely with Sri Swami Bua Ji, MHY & was also on the Board of the Indo-American Yoga Vedanta Society (a non-profit organization in NYC), for many years. Shirin has also been a member of the International Dance Council - CID UNESCO and maintains an online yoga practice while also teaching for townships, assisted living facilities, Princeton Adult School & at a non-profit space in Lambertville, N.J.
