Classes offered weekly at Briggs Lawrence County Public Library

For the last few months, the Briggs Lawrence County Public Library in Ironton has had a new wellness offering for the public.

Naomi Ittig is the instructor for weekly yoga classes, offered at no charge in the upstairs meeting room of the library’s main branch.

Ittig says the classes began in November and are available every Wednesday from 6-7 p.m.

She says attendance has been steady for the sessions, which are open to all levels, from beginners to those more experienced.

She notes the location’s proximity to Ohio University Southern, making the sessions ideal for students.

Ittig says she has been a certified yoga instructor for eight years and has taught various forms of yoga, including vinyasa, beginning yoga and acro-yoga. 

She said the sessions will continue indefinitely, as long as the public shows interest. 

“I’ll be her for the forseeable future,” she said.

The classes are but one of many things offered at the library.
