I don't know about you, but February s**ks, even when there's no pandemic. Here's possible relief if you're a yoga fan or wannabe.
BTW This comes from Small Club Networking, an email group started by our friends at PVRC (Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club) in Springfield. ?It's obviously spread its infection far beyond the Pioneer Valley.
This is from? row@...? ?I *love* their logo!!!!

================
To keep our members engaged through the pandemic (and to reduce the number of “missed” practices due to back pain) we have started “Yoga for Rowers”, A Zoom class specifically for rowers every Tuesday evening at 6 PM EST. By now it is joined by rowers from coast to coast. It is free to participate.? ? You and all your members are more than welcome to join!!! Details can be found here:??? ? On March 20th, at 3 PM EST we do a special Zoom workshop on “Hip & Back Exercises: Prevent/reduce pain and improve your stroke!”. Again, it is free to join. Details and registration here:? We hope you and your members join. The more the merrier! ? Again: Thank you very much for inviting us to your group! ? Regards Felix Muhlebach Captain, CHaOS Rowing, the masters program of RowNC

Used rowing shell looking for a good home
Hello Scullers -- Our friend EB Lehman sent this notice of a free Alden on Cape Cod. I'm copying her on this message in case anyone wants more information. Stay warm -- Robin Robin Barber Gallery of Readers Press cell 4*3-695-5343 land 4*3-585-8530 16 Vernon Street Northampton, MA 01060-2862 Hello Carol & Robin,?? Greetings, friends!
A friend of mine on the Cape has a used rowing shell (an ocean shell, it seems) and rigging (see photos) which belonged to her dad. He died a few years ago, and his?boat is in need of a new owner and?home. Might this boat be of any interest to...you? Yankee Rowing? Some other lucky soul who wants a free boat??
I don't know when it was built but I think it's in good shape, sea-worthy, etc. It is on the Cape.? xoxo EB

I prefer my model B from 1987.
They have one at PVRC.? I prefer the model D? Nick ? Does anyone know where I might be able to work out a Concept 2 Dynamic ERG locally??
I'm looking to finally pull the trigger on purchasing a new machine and I'd like to try the dynamic before buying the D model.?
I'm in no rush.

I just toss it to the big screen but you can attach the phone above your monitor and it’s still a pleasure. Blast the audio and genuinely enjoy erging for a change. The coach-rower is in a Hudson 1x and has great form so I think it is actually an improvement over my usual winter erging from a technical stand point. I highly recommend this C2 rower’s hack if you have not tried it.? Also, there are other great rows to chase, several coached by our own James Dietz. Though the Hadley row I’ve done was not James.?
Check it out: hydrorow in your App Store.?
Stay safe,?
