Community Yoga
The Forks is pleased to host a new pilot program: community yoga!
Every Saturday for the month of December from 10-11am in room 201 upstairs in The Market. All are welcome to practice yoga regardless of experience, gender, sexual orientation, race or economic background. It’s free for all to attend.
Classes will be led by Andrea Robin in Hatha and Vinyasa style yoga. Andrea walks the perfect balance of translating the traditional Sanskrit roots of the practice to the realities of the non-yogi who just want to stretch, breathe and connect to their body.
It's also a karma class with proceeds going to the Christmas Cheer Board.
Class space is limited. Doors open at 9:30am. To book your spot, sign the registration form at the door and drop off your mat. Perhaps grab a pre-yoga latte from Fools + Horses? New to yoga and mat-less? Don’t worry, we’ll have a few on hand if you need one!
As this is a pilot program, your feedback is so important to help us develop more community recreational programming. In exchange of your participation, we ask that you participate in a two-minute email survey.
