Attendees are asked to bring their own mats and table settings, as well as potluck eats, of course. The event is also BYOB. Suggested donation is $5 to $15. RSVP here.

If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, plan to make a pitstop this weekend for a free 15-minute movement assessment. Strength and fitness trainer Henry Halse will be on site to assess movements, posture and gait and offer tips for how to get more out of your training and prevent injuries.
