Ease your back and improve your posture! Just as Peggy Cappy has modified yoga poses in her earlier videos Yoga for the Rest of Us and More Yoga for the Rest of Us to make yoga accessible to every body, Peggy now turns her attention to stretches and exercises that are most beneficial to back care. Strong, healthy back muscles provide support for your spine and result in more energy and vitality in everything you do.
Before you mutter….humbug… we’re joined by the Kansas City Rep’s A Christmas Carol’s most veteran star.
He’s been appearing in the annual holiday production for close to thirty years. You know him as Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge…though his friends and family call him Gary Neal Johnson.
KCPT is pleased to broadcast this spectacular event LIVE.
