First Class

Hello Friends,
Tonight I had my first class of the Cranston Citizen's Police Academy class. The class was from 6-8 p.m. For the first class we went over introductions, the training division and then the last part of this class they had their k-9 officer and their yellow lab Bosco come tonight and talk about their k-9 unit. This way a very fun an exciting first class. They showed us how the dog can track items, find drugs, and look for people in buildings. The k-9's in police work are a very helpful resource to the police departments. However the k-9 that Cranston has doesn't bite compared to the German Shepherds that are primary used for the police work.  
Looking forward to the next 5 weeks!!

Week 1 of Beginner Yoga Series

On Monday nights I have started taking a six week beginner introduction to yoga class series that  at Yoga With Brenda is offering. The first class lesson on Monday night was all about the foundations of Yoga and going over the kind of yoga it is. Also during the yoga class that night we worked on poses that helped to lengthen and stretch the our entire body and took it slow. This 6 week introduction to yoga series is good for new or advanced yogi's, this way you can know if you are doing the poses correctly. I'm looking forward to next  Monday class lesson where we will learn about breathing and stretching exercises. Thanks for reading -Bethany

Police K'9"s

-  K9 Viking Warwick Police RI, his handler is Officer Aaron Steere. I believe every police department in Rhode Island should have police K9’s. The reason why they should have the K9’s is because they can help out in many different aspects.   These types of K9’s are not like our regular dogs! These police K9 dogs are certified in narcotics detection, patrol work, building searches, area searches, tracking, article recovery, and criminal apprehension. The schooling for the K9’s and handlers lasts 6 months. Also they are trained in handler protection.   For the dogs to know what to do their commands are in given in German/Czech.  Some of the police dogs come from Europe.  Many of these police K9’s are aggressive dogs compared to the one’s in airports where they are more passive.   The difference between aggressive and passive ones are that the aggressive dogs will scratch and bark when they find what they are looking for, the passive dogs are the ones ...

Yoga for the First Time- Year in Review

Image
A year ago today on May 26 th ’2016, I started something brand new for the first time and that was yoga! Last year the first yoga class I took was at Laughing Elephant Yoga and the class   “Basic Yoga Beginner”. When starting out I didn’t know what to expect from a yoga class or if I would even like it, but boy was I wrong I have fallen in love with yoga and enjoy learning new yoga poses, like downward dog, tree pose, and warrior poses. These days I try to do yoga at least 3 times a week if I’m lucky either at Yoga with Brenda or at Laughing Elephant. So far Yoga has taught me to unplug for an hour or so and have time for me and unplugging for me is hard when you're in the media. The Yoga has also challenged me in many different ways it has helped me come out of my comfort zone and over the past year I have meet many new amazing people that I practice with. Some of the yoga classes I have taken are Basic Yoga  Beginner, Gentle flow, Funky flow, S...
