Yoga for Poetry in the Park
2016-07-10 16:00 - 17:00 | City Park
Yoga Teacher/ Artist, Courtney Chandler and Business Owner/ Philanthropist/ Freakshow, Allison Parks have dreamed and schemed some play time. We will be putting on a transformative poetry yoga class in City Park on Sunday, July 10th at 4:00 pm.
We will be perfectly situated to stick around for Jazz in the Park afterwards, which beings at 6:00 pm, so bring any blankets or snacks that you may want for that. I will bring wine in a box to share.
All proceeds from the yoga class will go to Art from Ashes, a local nonprofit which brings poetry, art, and theater workshops to at-risk youth, so please bring a minimum $10 donation for Art from Ashes. By all means, you are welcome to donate more!
All peeps are welcome at this event, so feel free to bring your significant other, mother, offspring, or hair stylist! We will be situated to the south of the lake where they do the Jazz in the Park. When we get our exact location on the day of the event, I will post a pin drop and try to make our area relatively obvious.
