Featured Event – Pre-Holiday Relaxation Yoga with Hatha – Registration Required

Sunday, November 20
6:30-7:30 p.m.

The holidays will be upon us before we know it. Take a few moments for yourself at our Pre-Holiday Relaxation Yoga event with Hatha Yoga & Fitness!

This adults-only restorative yoga and meditation experience will include several components, all intended to nurture and soothe. You can expect to be guided through an intuitive essential oil treatment, an energy-clearing body scan, a gentle yet chakra-strengthening yoga sequence, and mantra/affirmations to anchor you in total relaxation.

So arrange a sitter (or your partner!) for the kids, leave the decorating and meal planning for another day, and set your mind at ease with chambanamoms and Hatha’s skilled yoga instructor Lola.

Register here! Space is limited. Cost to attend is $15 for non- Hatha members and $5 if you’re already a Hatha member.
Join us for an evening of spacious freedom and total bliss!
