NEW! Yoga in Action
Have you ever wished that you could experience the benefits of yoga practice while helping others at the same time? Well, here is your chance. This workshop will consist of an all-levels yoga practice with relaxation and meditation. As a group, we will then decide which charities we would like to support. The proceeds from the yoga practice will be donated to a charity or charities of our choice. The instructor will come with several options.
