On Tuesday, June 6th, 2023 our Senior center will reopen for in-person attendance following a gap of slightly over three years due to COVID. Both traditional and chair yoga, Bhagavad Gita and Samskritam classes have all been uninterruptedly conducted online for the past three years.
Yoga and guided discussions on topics relating to religion and spirituality will begin one-day-a-week on Tuesdays, in order to smoothly transition to in-person activities.
Additional in-person activities will be added and announcements made in the near future. Please visit this page for updates!
The Samskritam and Bhagavad Gita classes will continue online, as they have previously.
