Monday Night 8:00-9:30 PM Asana by Dana with Monica Lynns:
Initiated by Guylaine Williams: “My Monday night Asana by Dana class is open to intermediate and advanced yoga asana (physical form) students. Dana is a Sanskrit term for giving. Suggested donation is $10, but your donation is optional. The idea is to perpetuate that thread of giving and receiving that shows up in all relationships and is a beautiful reminder that we are all mutually dependent and connected. Come and practise with others!”
