Last Chance: Yoga Dance Party Starts TODAY! |

Join a fun, uplifting movement class at the DSC Campus!
With accessible yoga poses and breathing techniques, this 4-week in-person course focuses on cultivating self-awareness and moving the body in ways that feel good.

After yoga is complete, we’ll put away our mats, turn up the music and transform our yoga space into an open dance floor for freestyle movement and time for students to enjoy snacks and each other’s company.
