How to Sign Up for Classes or Camps
You can find our yoga class descriptions, family wellness programs, or class and event calendar on the website. Our registration site is mobile friendly and is the primary way we take payments. Most of our class venues do not have a receptionist so it’s a great help to the instructor if you take care of this yourself in advance.
