Happy Mother’s Day

“Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we’re as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.”
―Octavia E. Butler

Happy Mother’s Day!

There’s still room in April’s Mothers Day Restorative class! Just message us on FaceBook to let us know you’re coming. More information below.

Many of you know Sarah Maxey from class, but you may not know she is also a teacher.  I’m happy to announce she’s teaching a series at Infinity this summer called Summer Flow: celebrating sun and self-care. It will run Tuesday evenings from 5:30-6:30pm beginning the first week in June. More information to come!

Next weekend is SHIFT~, a performance salon with poet Mai’a Williams and musician woolen lover curated by Sharon Mansur, as well as the Journey into Spring Retreat. There is information about both events below. No need to register for SHIFT but if you’re coming to the retreat please let me know as soon as possible.

In other Forrest Yoga news, former Infinity Forrest Instructor Jen Bayer is in town and will be at class tomorrow!

See you soon!

Laboratory is a movement-based experience with elements of modern dance and contact improv. It is a safe space to inhabit your body more fully while we do movement research. It is a space to make connections through movement that translate to our lives and the world. Each time will be different, depending on who is there and what themes we are exploring. It is a space to play and heal and connect.  Feel free to bring a journal. Questions? contact woolenlover@gmail.com
