As you probably know, last month the college of social workers restricted all social workers from doing 🍄 therapy with zero consultation or evidence base. The practice guideline goes on to ban other types of harm reduction widely practiced by social workers including supporting safer drug use practices. Please consider signing this and forwarding to everyone you know.

I miss this powerful healing work and am hoping our advocacy can get this back into our scope of practice. 💕

**new class alert**

Tuesdays with Afa have evolved in the most magical way!

This Chakra Hatha practice is guided not only by the chakra system, but by the current phase and placement of the moon.

Each week, we move and meditate in relationship with the moon’s energy and its associated element, allowing the practice to meet us exactly where we are — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Moving with the moon helps re-establish a natural rhythm that many of us have lost in modern life. Rather than forcing a practice, we listen. Rather than pushing, we align.

Expect a grounded Hatha practice, intentional pacing, chakra-informed movement, and a meditation that reflects the lunar energy of the day.

No astrology knowledge required — just curiosity and a willingness to move in connection with the body and the natural world.

Every Tuesday
10:45 am
Included in all studio memberships, including our two week trial pass.

Today, we know better, and we do better.

Pet stores are out, and community gatherings that support rescue, ethical care, and connection are in.

Deep gratitude to .brews.beyond for bringing people together once again through a joyful puppy yoga class and puppy meet & greet, all in support of 💕
