Yoga’s on hiatus Thursday night so we can host the Batavia Pop-up Artisan Collective in our River Street studio.  Come see the incredible talent, vision and craftsmanship right in your own hometown.  6:30 – 9:30 p.m.

Feel like flying?  Join Sarah Starnes this Friday Surprise for an Acrobatic & Partner Yoga Playshop, 7-8:30 pm, $25.  Take your practice to new heights as we journey with another person into the core center of the body, the source of balance on and off the yoga mat.  You will explore technical moves and transitions while you reach higher levels of strength, communication, playfulness and trust.  This includes inversions, backbends, transitions and arm balances with a partner.  Ultimately, you will discover that balance is the result of energy, focus and the ability to connect to everything that surrounds you.  Bring a partner or pair up at the playshop.  Learn more and register…
