Yoga 101 - $25
Friday, September 5th at 6:00 pm
Introductory courses are designed for beginners to learn the fundamentals of yoga. These classes focus on foundational poses, proper alignment, breathing techniques, and basic meditation practices. Participants can expect a supportive and non-competitive environment to explore yoga at their own pace.
If you have a yoga mat, feel free to bring it, though we do have a few at the studio you can borrow. Wear comfortable clothes, and bringing a water bottle is a good idea. This course is great for anyone interested in learning the basics. We just ask that you’re able to sit on the floor and stand back up without help.

Myofascial Release - Included in Membership
Sunday, September 14th at 1:00 pm
Experience the deeply therapeutic benefits of myofascial release in this specialized class led by Lisa. Using two therapy balls, you’ll apply gentle, sustained pressure to specific trigger points, helping to release restrictions in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles. This technique enhances mobility, reduces pain, and promotes relaxation by improving circulation and breaking up adhesions that cause tension and stiffness. Expect guided techniques that empower you to tune into your body's needs, relieve tightness, and restore balance. Bring your therapy balls or purchase a set at the studio and prepare for a session that leaves you feeling more open, flexible, and refreshed. Your body will thank you!
