It's almost time to wine down
This Wednesday at Spring Creek Garden CenterBring a mat and come on out to enjoy an all-level Yoga class at Spring Creek Garden Center from 5:30 to 6:25 pm on 4/24. Most of the time, I head back to the studio for our 7 pm class. But this week, I'll be sticking around for a drink on the porch after class at the garden center. Yes, that means there will be no 7 pm class this week (4/24), but hopefully, you can join us for happy hour instead. Let me know you are coming by clicking the button below:

As I'm reading Brené Brown's "The Gifts of Imperfection" for Winnie's Book Club, I'm reflecting fondly on a workshop I led back in November 2020.
