About the Workshop

This yoga and movement workshop will focus on the third and fourth chakras to balance a powerful sense of will and purpose with an open and receiving heart. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! Join us tonight if you didn’t get a chance to attend the session on 2/8, or if you just want to attend this event again.
