Old School Vinyasa

Location: 612 Jungle

Time: 6-7pm

Old school Vinyasa yoga refers to a more traditional, foundational approach to Vinyasa, where the emphasis is placed on synchronizing breath with movement. It focuses on the original principles of the practice, offering a steady pace, clear instruction, and minimal variation in sequences. Unlike modern Vinyasa classes that may include creative flows or mix in other styles, old school Vinyasa sticks to time-honored sequences, such as Sun Salutations, and maintains a balance between strength, flexibility, and mindfulness.

Come & flow with me!

BWB Breaks The Cycle

Meeting at Trail Head ~1221 Theodore Wirth Parkway at 5:30pm

Riding 15miles - Easy

Biking with Baddies is a group of black & brown individuals that come together to ride, meditate, and have a great time! We ride in style, we ride in elegance, and we ride in peace. We pedal, don’t break. In order to learn how to do so, Biking with Baddies is teaming with Break the cycle!

Break the cycle will have a bike professor on hand ready to teach us a few things regarding bike maintenance. It can be very intimidating to travel around on a bike without knowing how to handle emergency situations. We have to be prepared for the unexpected and/or ready to help others in the time of need.

Bike knowledge allows us to ride in confidence. Having more confidence on your bike means more rides are manifesting. We’ll have more means of transportation when it comes to commute, traveling, and let’s not forget a fun way to exercise!

We will be meeting at Trail Head the last Tuesday of the month starting in May ending in August.
