Community Yoga Partners – A Big Thank You!
UW Yoga Month just would not be the same without our community partners. As we celebrate and practice together, we also want to thank and feature our incredible teachers. Many yoga studios this year had to reimagine their businesses and offerings into a virtual experience. As some slowly open up and others remain behind the screen, a few of our partners have graciously offered free classes to our UW community throughout the month of October.
Check them out below and don’t worry, it’s not too late to sign up for UW Yoga Month. Register here. Also look into the month activities and opportunities here!
