• The next in-person Yoga class will take place on Monday, January 27th, replacing the Ballet class originally scheduled for that day.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make these adjustments.

Join us on Tuesday, January 21st, as we come together as a community to reflect, recharge, and connect.

The day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Inauguration Day, we’re hosting another Together Zone at the GenPride Center (1521 Broadway, Suite A) from Noon to 3 PM.
