November, here we come! Please join us for an outdoor Yoga Sculpt class on Friday, November 12 with a chance to socialize a bit afterwards and for our annual Book Fair on November 17-18.

In lieu of the annual Fall Luncheon, the PTO is planning an outdoor Yoga Sculpt class on Friday, November 12 at 8:45AM on the turf at Skokie Playfields. Everyone from our Hubbard Woods parent community is welcome and the class is free! We will enjoy coffee and treats after class for a chance to socialize.

Yoga Sculpt is a total mind-body workout for ALL fitness levels. The class will be set to energizing music and designed to tone and sculpt every major muscle group by combining plyometrics, strength training and Vinyasa-style yoga. This class will get your mind focused and your heart pumping!

Bring your own yoga mat, optional hand weights (one or two sets of 3-10 pound weights are recommended), water, and a towel. Please contact Gina Gooden with any questions. To RSVP, contact HW PTO.
