Description of Meeting/Event
My seniors are creating an annotated bibliography for our unit on research. I wanted to take them to the library so they can not only do research, but see all the things libraries have to offer, so they can use them as they get into adulthood.

- You are not required to keep your camera on
- Prepare to take time to match your movement and motion and have a little fun

About the instructor
Instructor DuShaun Branch is focused on bringing yoga to as many BIPOC and plus-sized communities as possible. She believes people not only need rest and relaxation, but resistance. Yoga is a powerful way to tap into the balance of ease and positive effort. DuShaun teaches through the lens of equity and trauma-informed, hosting classes in “nontraditional” settings all over the city. She intends on taking down as many barriers as possible to bring yoga to those who are looking for calm and relaxed minds. DuShaun truly believes yoga is for all, and shares that throughout Chicago and beyond.
