Expanding capacity

Facilitated By: Meg Newlin

Time: 9-11am

Dates: Fridays 4/3 and 5/1

First Friday practices provide a unique, community-oriented experience designed to bridge the gap between a regular weekly practice and more advanced, workshop-style sessions. Practice is structured to offer a stronger, more intense, or "challenging" sequence that encourages ongoing students to deepen their practice while remaining accessible through detailed breakdowns and explanations.

Sliding Scale: $25-$50

*Pay at time of workshop via cash, check or venmo.

community practice and gathering

Facilitated By: Jennifer Marriott

Time: 5:30-7pm

Date: Friday, April 17th

One way of enhancing wellness, that encourages a sense of belonging, is to practice together. This monthly community practice not only focuses on practicing our yoga on the mat, but we also spend time afterwards practicing off the mat strengthening our compassion towards one another!

We will start with a 45 - 60 min Vinyasa practice, that is suitable for all levels, and close with sharing food and stories possibly outdoors (weather pending) around the fire. A light snack will be provided.
