WINTER IS ENDING, SPRING IS COMING!
The Winter Term is winding down, and the Spring Term begins April 1, after
a week of make-up and drop-in classes. Come to Peggy’s or Lynn’s classes
at no cost if you need to make-up, or drop in for only $10 if you’ve
used up your series. The 12-week Spring Term will be $120 for 1 weekly
class or $230 for 2 weekly classes, for members (nonmembers add $20).
Annual membership ranges from $15-$200 and includes our beautiful, soon
to be classic, yoga sutra tshirt.
SCHEDULE UPDATE
Peggy’s 50+ Seniors class meets on THURSDAYS 11am instead of Wednesdays.
This class is appropriate not only for seniors but for anyone needing
a more supported, gently-paced class for special needs.
BUILDING UPDATE
For the time being, we will be staying put at 731 E. Locust. We continue
to pursue a strong prospective new space which we may be able to move
into this summer. We will certainly let you know as soon as plans are
finalized. If you have skills in real estate, finance, or building construction
and want to join our Site Committee, let us know.
