Join us for a nourishing and restorative Iyengar Yoga practice to raise funds for the Homeless Children’s Network. Become part of the thread of connection and care that Homeless Children’s Network has woven for the families they serve.

This all-levels practice will center on themes of easing stress and anxiety, offering a nourishing space to ground, restore, and reconnect. Together, we’ll tend to body and mind while extending compassion outward to uplift vulnerable children and families throughout the greater Bay Area.

The practice will be approximately 75 minutes, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to connect and socialize.
