February 10 Meeting

This Wednesday, we’re doing yoga with the fabulous Gabi!

Come dressed in comfortable clothes like tights or sweats and a t-shirt or comfy shirt. Typically yoga is done in bare feet. You’ll want to be set up in a space where you can move around and lay down fully on the floor. If you have a yoga mat, you can lay it out on the floor and do yoga on the mat, but it’s not necessary.

After yoga, we’ll have some time to plan girl-led meetings, the upcoming enrolment ceremony, and do a fun activity!
