Yoga Class
Old School Vinyasa
Location: Logan Park Community Center
Time: 10:00am
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.

Adults are expected to participate alongside their children during the workshops. Please come prepared for both on-land and in-water learning and for everyone to enter the water.
What to expect?
Personalized Learning Goals: Families set individual learning objectives to ensure the workshop meets their specific needs.
Interactive Water-Based Activities: A mix of skills practice, safety scenarios, and challenges in the water to promote learning by doing.
Family Bonding and Safety Skills: Designed to strengthen family bonds through shared learning experiences while equipping participants with vital water safety skills and fundamental rescue techniques.
Experienced V3 Sports instructors who are dedicated to your safety and progress both in-classroom and in-water learning.
Onsite childcare provided for younger children.
If you feel you could benefit from such class, please join us in not only helping ourselves but gaining knowledge to help others… information to pass down to generations. Please note that space is limited so registration is mandatory. You will be contacted via phone to confirm your spot.

Location: Logan Park NE Minneapolis
Time: 10am - 11:30am
Situational Awareness for Cyclists
This specialized class is an adaptation of Atlas flagship verbal de-escalation training, designed specifically for cyclist. Drawing from concerns raised in Conversations About Safety, this session provides guidance, hands-on practice, and scenario-based training to help participants navigate and respond to potentially dangerous situations while riding.
Held at Logan Park in Northeast Minneapolis, the class begins with introductions and a focused instructional period before breaking into two groups. Each group will engage in realistic, staged scenarios, created by trained actors, to practice situational awareness, crisis response, and de-escalation techniques while on a bike. Depending on the needs and interests of participants, these scenarios may include:
Encountering individuals experiencing a mental health crisis
Responding to an overdose situation
Navigating street harassment or aggressive behavior
Knowing when and how to call for help
Practicing calm, assertive communication in escalating situations
Our actors and facilitators will guide participants through these experiences and provide constructive feedback during a Q&A and debriefing session at the end.
This is the final session in our three-part violence prevention and safety series for women, reinforcing awareness, preparedness, and confidence in handling real-world situations. Whether you’re commuting daily, riding recreationally, or simply want to feel more in control of your surroundings, this class offers essential skills for staying safe and empowered on your bike.

Conversations about Safety
Conversations About Safety is a multilayered, facilitated workshop designed to explore how we perceive and experience harm, violence, and safety within our communities. Through thought-provoking prompts and open dialogue, participants will reflect on where we believe harm originates, how it manifests in our daily lives, and what true safety means to us. This workshop encourages deep conversations that center abolitionist values and envision futures rooted in collective care and liberation.
For this special women-only virtual session, we will create a safe, supportive space to openly discuss our personal experiences with violence, harm, and resilience. Together, we will share how we’ve navigated difficult situations, explore ways to cultivate safety in our lives and communities, and uplift one another through solidarity and healing. This session is designed to foster empowerment, provide mutual support, and encourage transformative thinking about what a world free from violence could look like.

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!

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.

Tough Mudder
Time to get dirty!
I have always wanted to attend this event. I first heard about it in 2019 and wasn’t able to attend. Then right after Covid hit. Well, its back! Nothing is stopping me from going now. What about you?! You always wanted to do an obstacle course, you love adrenaline, so join this event on July 10th! I’m always down for some fun and as long as we cross the finish line that’s all that matters. We will car pool to hype one another up and head back with a great feeling of accomplishment. I am so ready for this, are you?
Please register for July 10th for the 11am start time! You will then add yourself to the Biking with Baddies Team, and the password is cycling. Let’s make some memories together.
