MAY 3-AUGUST 30
NO YOGA

After 20 years in our

bakery home, we will

close April 30 to reopen

in September in a

new location.

Our new space will be home to all the same classes with Erica, Nancy, Philippe and Carrie, plus our Friday events with Philippe, Dave Haddock, Lonnie Powell and Nancy, plus potentially a variety of new daytime offerings.

 

We will spend July + August readying the place for you and a grand, grand opening day as soon as possible. Aiming for classes starting September 7.

I have a vision. I'm excited! We'll keep you posted!

With love and gratitude for 20 years of community breath, sweat and release; for organic growth from just me giving classes to all the amazing people and offerings for healing, activation and evolution we are today; and for our beautiful log home in the Alpine Bakery building. 2025 is touted as the end of an epoch. Which also means, a new epoch begins.

If opportunities for pop-up classes and events arise over the summer, we will let you know. If you have any ideas, or a place, please let us know. Thank you!!
