"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

Part of the beauty of winter is cozy sweaters, hot drinks and cocooning with a good book or movie. But, too much cocooning and we lose our groove. Surrounding ourselves with a motivated community and expert teachers while we move our bodies in a harmonious and effective way makes hot drinks and cocooning feel so much better. It's all about balance.

And, if you're a lover of winter sports, yoga is the perfect adjunct.

There's still time to join us for our 30 day yoga challenge!

Using rhythm and movement to create a sense of joy

It has been scientifically proven that drumming in community increases our sense of well being by decreasing stress, anxiety and depression. It also enhances brain health and helps us to feel a sense of connection.

In this fun workshop we will be using our bodies (or drum if you have one) as a vehicle for transformation.

We will also learn drumming patterns that help to build brain health and longevity.

Bring a percussion instrument (hand drum, frame drum or shaker) if you have one or use your body as a drum. Shakers will be provided.

No drumming experience required only a willingness to learn and have fun.

Date: Tuesday, February 6

Time: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Fee: Use your regular class pass, membership or drop-in fee
