OXFORD – A special program will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the community services room at the Oxford Memorial Library, when Suzette Hayes, owner of the Black Horse Yoga Studio, Guilford, will present a one-of-a-kind parent/child yoga session. Admission is free, and the program is open to children ages 4 and up and their parents.

“This is a nice way for parents to do something healthy with their children,” said Oxford Memorial Library’s Youth Services Coordinator Carolyn Thau. “It is very laid back, and it’s a great way to be silly with your child. Suzette is wonderful and very experienced.”

Hayes, who will be running Thursday’s session at the library, is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher and has been practicing yoga since the mid-1990s.

“I found yoga because of stress in my life. I was tired of being told to take this prescription, take that prescription. The first class I attended ... I can still remember how I felt when I left – taller, calmer and more self-aware, that I was really somebody and that I was okay,” stated Hayes.
