Yoga for Creative Communities
Mondays / 7:30 - 8:30 PM
We need your art and creations in the world! We need you rested and powerful. In times of accelerated change, pace, and information, yoga can offer us access to environments both outside and within ourselves that help fortify and ease our systems. This evening class will be a gentle pace, with breath work, meditation, structure building asana, and always end with restorative postures and deep rest (my favorite part).
Each class will be geared toward cultivating the capacity to create the art you dream about, with resilient and loving communities to support all of our work. Not an artist? Not a problem! We need you rested and powerful, too. We will stretch and unwind for whoever is in the room. All experience levels and abilities are welcome.
Pricing: $15 / $20 / $25 per class / $120 (8) class pass

Fly Fusion® Belly Dancing with Jessi
Wednesdays / 5:30 - 6:45 PM
What IS Fly Fusion®? Fly Fusion is a super fun belly dance format with an emphasis on group improvisation, created in Mankato, Minnesota by Violet Kind. Dancers in this class will learn a series of short choreography combos, engaging that mind-body connection that is proven to give longer lasting benefits than exercising alone; not to mention the silly shenanigans that we’ll get up to every week!
The style features a heavy emphasis on musicality, community, and body positivity, and is influenced by various forms of fusion belly dance but also includes creative influences!
There are four phases we will go through while creating our dance together: Foundation, Metamorphosis, Expansion, and Pillars. With each phase comes new combinations and more complex layers, so attending regularly is encouraged, but not required. No previous dance experience is necessary either…just a willingness to move your body in a safe, judgment free environment!
Pricing: $17 single class drop in - first class is free for new students…just show up!
Traditional Kundalini Yoga with Anna
Thursdays / 6:15 - 7:15pm
This weekly practice is that of “Karma yoga”. It is the path of ‘action’—of putting in 100 percent effort without being attached to the outcome. The intent of this Yoga class is to teach how the true practice of “Yoga” can be applied to everything you do: from the most trivial, ordinary tasks to greater, more challenging works. When action is performed selflessly, with full focus and attention, it brings fulfillment and freedom. Acting without being attached to the fruits of one’s deeds—this alone can lead to union with the self, which is the goal of yoga.
Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Anna Tarnashinsky is offering this weekly Yoga practice to both guide all who wish to join her on this journey of selfless service, and to share the gifts of Yoga both on and off the mat.
Pricing: sliding scale - $15 / $20 / $25 / $48 (4) class Pass - those who select the (4) Class Pass will receive an email from the Instructor containing a code to enter at checkout when selecting the remaining three class dates.
Weekly Om Chanting Circle with Vesna

Due to a blessing from spiritual Masters Paramahamsa Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji, OM Chanting generates a high vibration that releases our negativity, transforms it and showers us with positive energy. You're literally getting infused with the vibration of OM!
Pricing: by donation $8 / $10 / $15 online donation - your donations are used to cover the cost of renting the space as OMC is a selfless service we share in together.

We will focus on technique, posture, and muscle isolation with lots of drills. This will help in creating new paths of movement for your body.
This 8-week session will focus on improvisation. We will break down basic belly dance isolations and steps, and then put them together so that you have a framework that allows you to break loose and feel the music. We’ll practice dancing for our own enjoyment, and connecting to our classmates with dance improvisation games at the end of each class. Expect this session to be playful and fun!
No previous dance experience is required, all bodies are welcome and celebrated, movements may be modified. Wear what you're comfortable in - a scarf tied around the hips will help you see your movement. We typically dance barefoot, but clean dance shoes are optional.

Hippy Yoga with Jess: Hip Opening Hatha
Sundays / 9:30 - 10:30 AM
It is said that we as human beings store our trauma and insecurities in our hips, which causes tightness. In turn, that tightness adds strain to the lower spine from overuse by compensating for our tight hips. My hatha classes will allow you to move, breathe, and melt into each asana. We will be doing several different hip-opening postures, both for the inner and outer hips. You may find either your inner or your outer hips are more flexible than the other, which is good to discover which part of your hips need more release.
Pricing: $18 per class // If you use Venmo you can pay me directly @jessiw78 or if you use PayPal you can pay me directly @jessiyogi. (Please include the date of the class you will be attending).
