  • Grounding yoga flow for all levels, guided meditation, journaling prompts and a sound bath of crystal singing bowls
  • $35 investment. You are worth it!

Fitness Center Additions

This month, we’ll be adding in new shelving storage into our rig in the fitness center, which will help better utilization of floor space for mat and circuit work. We’ll also be adding medicine and slam balls to our new shelving. More ways to have fun and work out!
