All Ages Yoga: This one is for every body, whether you're a seasoned yogi, or a literal baby (accompanied by a grownup), a first-timer, pre/post-natal* or anywhere else in your life's journey - I welcome you! Babies and kiddos are especially welcome and my little yogi may join us too :) Each week we'll switch between a joyful, slow flow class and a more grounded practice with longer stretches and holds to open up the major muscle groups and release tension. Together we will cultivate strength, balance and flexibility in our mind and body. We'll end all of our classes with some restorative poses which will help create a sense of peace and connection within ourselves.

Plenty of opportunity to take this at your own pace. For parents and caregivers, feel free to take breaks to feed, diaper and interact with your baby/kiddo. For pregnant yogis, be mindful of and consider avoiding: deep backbends, heart-openers, closed twists (poses like camel, wheel, chair pose twist, etc). I hope to see you (and your little ones) at the park!

*as long as you're at least 6 weeks postpartum and cleared for physical movement

Combined workshop: Road Readiness (Level 3) & Street Skills (Level 4)

two side by side photos showing groups of adults learning intermediate biking skills

Our experienced staff and volunteers will help each participant gain skills and confidence so you’re ready to venture onto the street and keep on rolling! This class is open to people of all genders. Participants in this workshop will be split into two groups:

Level 3 participants will mostly stay in the parking lot and work on the skills, such as the ability to start pedaling without wobbling or having to push a lot with the foot, ability to ride steadily in a straight path, getting more comfortable shifting gears in response to changes in speed and topography, comfort riding with the seat raised up close to hip height, and ability to go up and down a curb ramp.

With Level 4 participants we’ll ride as a group on streets with low-speed traffic, learning how to start and stop safely at traffic signals, ride a safe distance from parked cars and moving vehicles, communicate with other road users, and make turns at intersections. The objective of this workshop is to gain more advanced skills, such as signaling while biking, awareness of door range and a safe riding position in the roadway, ability to ride in a predictable path, and overall confidence being on the street.

If you cannot yet ride independently across a parking lot, please do not register for this clinic. Our Basic Skills class is more appropriate.
