"Your Yoga Life" Monthly Meetup (last Thursday of the Month)
We will talk about the Yoga life: food, your Yoga practice, music, experiences, perhaps even a little related philosophy, poetry and religion talk. Bring some food (or not) and be prepared to share or learn. We may go over some basic poses. This will be for everyone new and experieced to Yoga. Come if you want to see what it is all about and want to get gritty with it. For those new to Yoga and Baraboo Yoga there will be a discount if you join these nights.
