A powerful experience that relaxes the mind, balances the body, and lifts the spirit. The series kicks off Friday, September 26th at 6:30pm and will continue on the last Friday of every month through May 2026. Cost is $25 per class or $60 for a 3-class package. No experience is required—just bring yourself (and maybe a friend) for a night of calm, connection, and renewal. You can register here!
