Here’s a look at things to do online and out of the house in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County this weekend.
Tri-State Marine’s indoor boat show
Tri-State Marine is having an annual boat show at 5861 Deale Churchton Road in Deal from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The free show admits 30 people by appointment per hour, masks are required and only one family is allowed on each boat at a time. The event features fun activities for kids, light refreshments and a prize drawing where participants could win a $500 fishing gear package. Boats on display include Grady-White and Parker Boats, with product experts available for advice, “whether you’re a novice or a Chesapeake bay old salt.” Pre-registration can be made at tristatemarine.com/tri-state-marine-2021-spring-boat-show.
‘Nurturing the Grieving Heart through Yoga’
Hospice of the Chesapeake is hosting a six-week online yoga workshop from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, starting Jan. 21 through Feb. 28. Cathy Rees, a registered nurse and certified yoga instructor with the Yoga Center of Columbia, leads the gentle workshop that can be done standing or sitting in a chair. The six-week, $40 class is “perfect for grievers,” said Susan Coale, director of the Chesapeake Life Center at Hospice of the Chesapeake.
“Grief impacts every realm of our being — physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual. Because yoga tends to address us on many levels — including physical and spiritual — grief and yoga are a natural fit. Yoga is well documented as helpful for managing anxiety, which is often a part of grief. The combination of physical activity and breathwork is very calming and helps with focus and relaxation,” Coale said in a statement.
Registration is required and can be completed by calling 888-501-7077 or emailing griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org.
