Let’s Raise Supplies For The Open Door, Inc. (And Get A Boost Of Yoga)

This will be a free yoga class with the admission cost being a suggested donation to The Open Door, an organization that helps chronically homeless persons with HIV. This event will be sponsored by Union Fitness and will take place outdoors at their facility in Nova Place. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. A limited number of mats will be available to borrow at the session. This event is rain or shine (as Union Fitness has a tent we can use if it rains).
