There is no class fee for Backyard Yoga. My hope is that instead, attendees make even the smallest donation to the organization of the week. If you're not in a position to make a donation & still want to attend, you're welcome. Our time together will begin at 5:30 with the introduction of the nonprofit spotlighted that week. Our practice will begin immediately after. If we encounter rain on the day of practice, we'll gather Wednesday instead. Each practice will be held on ZOOM as well.
As we enter into our second year, my intention is to see this grow & I need your help. Please share this page, the attached flier (can be saved & sent via text or email), your experiences in the yard & most importantly the beautiful sense of community we're building. As some extra fun motivation, I'll be holding several raffles throughout the summer. Each week that you bring a guest, you're entered in the raffle. Bring 2 guests, that's 2 entries!
I'm passionate about helping people understand that yoga is accessible to every body, to extend more financial support to these organizations & educate people on the good work being done around our state.
