To celebrate the women in our lives and faith community, we are hosting an afternoon yoga session at St. John’s Presbyterian. The session will be led by Pamela, a talented yoga teacher! The session will be adaptable for all bodies and mobility levels. The theme for this gathering comes from Psalm 139: “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

 

We will gather at 1:30 p.m. for a brief reflection on the Psalm by Rev. Julielee, followed by breathwork, stretching, and an accessible yoga practice. The session will close in prayer, and all are invited to stay afterward for tea and treats. Please wear something comfortable. A limited number of mats (approximately eight) will be available if you do not have one. Join us for a meaningful time of connection bringing together breath, faith, movement, and community. If you have questions or wish to contribute to the treats and tea portion, please speak with Pamela or Julielee at [email protected]
