First and Third Friday from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM. The third Friday is a permanent class. The first Friday will be ongoing until the previously scheduled Hula Hoop class resumes on a date TBD.
This is a safe and sacred space for you, us, to move together as one. While this is a no-contact dance class, you will have the opportunity to feel a deep connectedness to others.
Our class is open to all ages and all levels of dance experience, we welcome families and children to participate. Come alone or with a friend, wear comfortable clothes and bring an exploratory openness to the creative and healing activity of movement as medicine. A place where you are encouraged to get out of your own way and allow yourself to be surprised and fascinated with the gift of being embodied.
We will begin with a brief opening circle. Then, we will move into a free-form dance exploration guided by a dynamic and eclectic mix of music ranging from tribal beats, up-beat reggae, world fusion to electronic dance music.
No registration, drop in, suggested donation of $10 per person. However we understand that everyone's financial situation is different, we trust that you will pay what is aligned with your true current abundance.
"Dance is a way to find yourself and lose yourself at the same time" -Gabrielle Roth

Gentle Yoga classes are designed to maintain and build essential mobility, balance and foundational strength while honoring a variety of bodies. Gentle Yoga is slower paced and focuses on safe alignment, using props if needed to adapt the pose to your unique self. The practice is ideal for seniors, yogis returning to practice after an injury or illness, new yogis with fitness concerns or anyone interested in a softer touch in their yoga practice. The class is not aerobic and while you might breathe hard, you most likely will not work up a sweat. It is required for this class that you are able to get up and down from the floor. Please call, text or email me with questions or specific concerns. If you have an ongoing health issue please consult your doctor before attending.
