Spring is a time of growth and change. Nature is getting ready for summer. Rain and bright floral fragrances are becoming part of our lives again. You might notice a heaviness to your body in the morning as the body also readies itself to blossom. Practicing yoga is a great way to counteract the grounding energy of spring. Dogwood Studios is here to support you during this season of transition.

Workshop: Creating a Home Yoga Practice

Perhaps this spring you want to take a deeper dive into developing a daily at home practice. We have created a new workshop to help you deepen what you learn in group yoga classes.
Creating a Home Yoga Practice to give you the confidence to practice yoga for your body, your space, and your needs at home.
The workshop will be held on In Person and Online, March 20th and April 3rd from 2:30-5:00 pm EST. Learn more about the workshop HERE.

Hybrid (In Person and Online) classes will be offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for Mindful Movement and Yoga at 10am.
You can join us in person at the Clubhouse at Southern Village Club or practice with us virtually with the online option.

New Hybrid Meditation Class:

Friday’s after Mindful Movement, we will offer a “Meditation” Class.
Group meditation is a powerful way to connect to your inner calm and wellbeing.

There are folding chairs at the venue.
No experience needed.
