AUBURN — As part of Auburn Public Library’s annual Teen Life Skills Series, teens will explore health and fitness in January. In conjunction with that focus, the library will present the following programs:

Making Healthy Choices through Yoga

Join Rachel Larrivee from Inner Light Yoga for the teen yoga series on Making Healthy Choices through Yoga. Each class is an hour-long exploration of movement and breath-work in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Participants should wear comfortable clothing. All levels, including beginners, are welcome. Classes will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Jan. 14, 21 and 28, in the Androscoggin Community Room. Sign-ups are requested.

PAWS Your Stress

On Thursday, Jan. 16, teens are invited to the Teen Space to “PAWS Your Stress!” Designed as a stress-reliever, take a break from mid-term exams and visit with animals from the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society. Although a teen program, all animal lovers are invited to stop and bring a donation of cat or dog food for the shelter.

Fueling Up for Fitness

To round out the month-long series, on Thursday, Jan. 23, Hannaford Nutritionist Zakkary Castonguay will present a program on nutrition, “Fueling Up for Fitness.” He will provide information which focuses on proper nutrition and hydration and their role on physical activity. The program will include smoothies and a DIY trail mix which will feature various macronutrients.

The program will take place from 3 to 4 p.m. Registration is required.

Unless otherwise indicated, all teen programs are for those ages 12 to 18.
