More about each activity:
Slow and Steady Yoga with Tara

Our first hour will be a slow-paced, yet heat building yoga class. We’ll practice deep embodied listening, build warmth together through breath and movement, and close with gentle unwinding, rest, and release to get our bodies and beings ready for dancing.

Bollywood Dance with Anjali

The second hour will be a Bollywood dance lesson with our fantastic old friend DJ Anjali, with her amazing instruction, laughter and incredible energy as she guides you through a whole journey into the sweet and complex narratives of Bollywood dance.

Restorative Yin with Kusum

Our last hour together will be a deeply restorative, meditative stretching class. We’ll use the support of blankets, bolsters and blocks to comfortably ground in the body for long held poses. This accessible yin class will focus on embodiment and deep rest as we send light and aid to Pakistan.

 

Snacks by Ruchikala

Ruchikala will provide awe inspiring signature bites of their whimsical layered spicy fare. Veg+ vegan options will be available.
