The poem you keep coming back to. The art you’ve been making for years. The recipe people keep asking for. The presentation about a topic you could talk about forever.
We’d love to make room for it at the HT Community Talent Show.

Share from the stage or a table. Perform, show your work, or let people browse without saying a word. Works in progress are welcome. This is a friendly afternoon, not a competition.

Not sharing something? Come cheer somebody on, grab a snack, play a game, or just hang out. You don’t have to be an HT member. Bring a friend. 🫰

Masks required indoors. A quiet room is available, along with step-free entry via the back-lot ramp off Clarendon Avenue. Find door-assistance instructions and more access details on the signup page.

A movement you learn in class can become something you reach for at home. 🫶
After their first Mobility class, Ash found a hip flexor movement that’s now a go-to.

They practiced it again at home and figured out how to adapt it to what they had available.

That’s something we make room for at Han Training. We’ll explain the movement, offer options, and give you time to try. You’ll have support as you learn what works for you.

Come try our sampler week and find your own go-to: HanTrainingChicago.com/Sampler

This Sunday we’re smashing melons with our limbs 💪 …or not! Field Day is 9/13 from 12 - 3 PM at the AIDS Garden/ Belmont Lakefront.

The watermelons this year are a bit juicier, so we may be a lil more successful, either way we’re gonna have a great time. Hope you can make it out!! 🌞🍉

Your body doesn’t have to earn a slower pace.

These are gentle, all-levels classes for moving with a little more room to notice what’s going on. Expect clear cues, options for different bodies and energy levels, and permission to take breaks, change a shape, or rest whenever you need to.
Come stretch. Come breathe. Come lie on the floor for a minute. All of that counts.
