No Registration Required. For more information, send email to: lauraploeg@yahoo.com
Laura has been teaching yoga to adults, children and families since 2014. She believes individuals can experience a mindful connection to themselves and the world through the practice of yoga. With a mindful connection to self, both adults and children can feel better, have more self-control and more self-awareness. A strong sense of self allows for more stable connections with others. Laura hopes to help yoga students find stability in themselves, and therefore become more productive, helpful and healthy members of their community.

The primary purpose of Quilts From Caring Hands is to bring the feeling of loving comfort to at-risk children in Oregon’s Benton, Linn and Marion counties. These include those who are homeless, drug addicted, visually impaired, or abused, and those in foster care. Our quilts are distributed through designated social service agencies.
Each quilt we make for a child is unique. In addition to crib- and twin-sized quilts, we also assemble tactile quilts and “cuddlers” for visually impaired children. The finished quilts and cuddlers are given away once each quarter.
QCH is grateful to our sponsors for their support over the years. Quilts from Caring Hands is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
